Scorebooks

Completing the scorebook is a requirement of Norths‘ participation in the Brisbane Junior Rugby Union competitions. An empty scorebook will be issued to each team at the beginning of the season.

The following sections should be completed for each match:

  • Team name, colour and age group
  • Date
  • Players’ names in alphabetical order and dates of birth
  • Signature of players for U13 upwards
  • Names of manager and touch judge
  • Signature of manager, opposition manager and match referee

It is always useful to check with the opposition manager at half time that your scores tally.

The scoresheet must be posted at the club house by 4pm on match day. Failure means the club will be fined and risks being withdrawn from the competition.

Player Movement Dockets (U13 and upwards)

Each time a player leaves the field and is replaced, the manager must complete a player movement docket. This is then handed to the opposition manager and noted on the scoresheet.
