    The Table Officials Tools


    There are two key tools which the table officials need: 1. The Official Game Score Card - to be managed by the Secretary 2. The Timing Console and Scoreboard to be managed by the Timekeeper

    Brisbane Water Polo Association Inc

    The Role of the Secretary


    The Secretary is responsible for the accurate recording of key events that transpire during the water polo match. In order to do this effectively the secretary must observe the referee and the game closely at all times and communicate with the timekeeper the timing of key events.

    Note all Key Events

    The Secretary must note all of the key events that occur during the match. The Key Events include: Goals (G) Exclusions (E) Penalties (P) Suspensions (S) Penalty Goals (PG) Exclusion Goals (EG) The referee will signal all of these so it is important that Secretary understand these calls and be able to recognise them.

    More advanced calls


    These happen less often but it is good to be aware of these signals for Double Exclusions and Suspension infractions

    Double Exclusion (E)


    Players from both teams are excluded simultaneously

    Misconduct (S)
    Player is excluded for rest of the game with substitution

    Brutality (S)
    Player is excluded for rest of the game and team plays man down for 4 minutes

    Note the Player and the Timing of Key Events


    As well as recognising the key events, the Secretary must record the event completely by recording 1. Player by cap number 2. Player by cap colour (Blue or White ) 3. What the event was (Goal, Exclusion etc..) 4. Impact of the event of the score line All of these are recorded by quarter on the score card. Example: 9 - B - E (Number 9 Blue was excluded) 10 - W - EG (Number 10 White scored an extra man goal) 10 4 5

    = 12

    The Timekeepers Role


    The Timekeeper is responsible for the accurate running of the clock during the game. It is important that the timekeeper watch and listen to the referees closely as they will signal when the clock should be running and stopped as well as when a goal is scored and when a player is excluded.

    Minor Foul
    Most common call in a water polo match requiring time keeper to stop and start the clock

    The Timekeepers Console


    This part of the console shows the current game time, the shot clock and the score as seen on the scoreboard and shot clock as seen on each of the two shot displays. These buttons should not be used as they set up the clock and will be pre-programmed by BWPI pool coordinators Press these buttons to record when a player has been excluded and track when they can return to the field of play (:20 seconds)

    Press these buttons when a team scores a goal.

    These buttons control the game and activate the shot clock

    Use the STOP Button any time the referees blow the whistle except for the start of the quarters.

    Start Button

    Use the START Button to start the game at the beginning of the quarter when the ball is touched by the first player on the swim up. Use the START Button any time a team continues to have possession and plays the ball after pressing STOP. These buttons control the game

    Reset Button

    Use the RESET Button when: 1. A change of possession occurs 2. When a team takes a shot at the goal and the ball stays in play 3. When the attacking team gets a 2m free throw 4. When a defending player is excluded for :20 seconds

    Brisbane Water Polo Association Inc

    Tips
    Introduce yourself to the other table official. Let them know if you are new and need some assistance. After each goal, the timekeeper and the secretary check the score. Timekeeper calls the referees signal to the secretary eg: Exclusion number 10 Blue. A person on the table should acknowledge when the referees signal of a goal/ cap number is seen. When the :20 second exclusion has expired, hold the flag up until the team bench acknowledges. White and Blue flags should be kept on either side of the console: Left = White Right = Blue Red Flag with secretary Yellow Flag in front of console The secretary should hold the re-entry flag up until the excluded player/ substitute re enters. If there is a malfunction with the clocks or any other issue, ask for help from the BWPI Pool Coordinator. Remain impartial (avoid over zealous cheering)... Have fun and enjoy the experience!
