If a player plays without signing, this will be classed as an incorrect score card and team will loose points.

1. SCORE CARDS.

In accordance with the Rules there must be 2 scorers who will keep score and keep a record of the centre passes. The 1st team mentioned in the fixture draw is responsible for the collection of the score card from the Control Centre prior to game and for scoring the duration of the game.

Each team is responsible for printing of the names of the players, signature of the players, captain, umpire and scorer.

Names of all interchanged players must be written on the score card in appropriate space or on back of score sheet. Each manager is responsible for the correct completion of the score card. The manager must also sign the score card.
