REFEREEING:

Respect of referees is expected by all players and spectators. Abuse of referees will NOT be tolerated. We ask that everyone remembers that referees are human and whilst you may not agree with all of their decisions – the referees’ decisions are final.

Without referees basketball games cannot be played.

Caloundra Basketball is always seeking additional referees and has implemented a referee supervision/training program. If you would like to discuss participating in our referee roster and referee development program please email us.

MATCH SCORING:

Caloundra Basketball scores all games using iPads generously donated by Sunshine Coast Council. This means team and player statistics are available to players/parents for the entire season. Statistics can be viewed by either using the Game Day app. or from our website as noted above.

Junior games require 2 scorers for each match (iPad Scorer and Game Clock/Scoreboard). Senior games require 3 scorers for each match (iPad Scorer, Game Clock/Scoreboard and Shot Clock)

SENIORS: The association provides paid scorers for all senior games. Scorers are paid $5.00 per game. If you or someone else would like to score for the seniors game please email your details and availability (eg: I can score for every Swish Kebabs’ game) to caloundrabasketball@hotmail.com so a roster can be created.
