Finals kick off this weekend

Updated …. apologies for confusing people …

All the best to our teams in finals over the next three weeks. north brisbane basketball North Brisbane Basketball north brisbane basketball North Brisbane Basketball

We have three weeks of finals:

  1. This week parents still need to score and keep time.
  2. Next week official scorekeepers will be on the bench marking the scoresheet. A representative from each team will still be required to operate the clock – please agree with the other team beforehand, whether you will share the task for the whole game or swap over at half time.
  3. Grand finals there will be an official scorekeeper and a referee on the scorebench.

A reminder that if you are on the scorebench, you are undertaking an important job – please:

  • concentrate and do everything you can to eliminate potential distractions, and
  • be impartial and refrain from barracking for your team.

Timing rules are the same this week as they have been for all fixtured rounds, that is:

  • Two time outs, each of one (1) minute duration, are allowed per team for each 20 minute half.
  • No time outs are allowed in the last two (2) minutes of the first half.
  • Clock does not stop in the first half at all.
  • Clock stops in the last three (3) minutes of the second half, but only for:
    • time outs
    • substitutions
    • foul shots.

Please respect the job of those on the scorebench and allow them to focus on the game – including refraining from approaching the bench to request the clock be stopped – and refreshing yourself and your team’s supporters of the timing rules (refer to Broadmeadows website).

We had a fantastic response to our Team Manager and Coaches’ meeting on Tuesday night this week ~ 70+ turned up and some positive feedback has been received about the night ~ most people learnt at least one new thing to help in managing our club. Some of the topics covered, include:

  • lots of info from Wendy Parsons, our Junior Domestic Coordinator from the Broadmeadows Basketball Association (BBA)
  • covered a number of club policies – such as the Club Code of Conduct and our Team Manager and Coach duty statements
  • Working with Children (WWC) Check – it is a new policy of our club that all Team Managers, Coaches and Club Committee Members undertake a WWC Check – please contact us for more information or pick up a form at your local post office, and make sure you complete the final step and link your card with the Greenvale Grizzlies Basketball Club
