Helpful video of basic instructions (though we do keep track of team fouls)
Things that must be tracked on the Scoreboard for EHC games:
- Time – Stops at every dead ball (when ref blows the whistle), starts again once possession is established in bounds (ie. once a player catches the ball on an inbounds pass or on tipoff).
- Quarters are 8 minutes
- Half Time is 3 minutes
- Score – 2 points for a standard field goal, 3 points from behind the arc, 1 point for a made foul shot
- Team Fouls – Cleared out to zero after each quarter except the 4th (if there is OT the fouls from the 4th quarter remain)
How to use the scoreboard console:
- To clear out the last game information: Menu (“New Game?”) > Enter
- To set the clock: Set Main Clock > [minutes] > Enter
- Ex: Set Main Clock 8 0 0 0 Enter
- To start clock: Start (green)
- To stop clock: Stop (red)
- To sound horn to get ref’s attention: Horn (yellow)
- This would only be done on a dead ball, to let refs know about a sub or that a foul was the 5th foul and shooting or that a player has fouled out
- Team Points and Fouls are in the green and red sections, Period (quarter) is between those sections, and there is a button to clear team fouls next to Period
