Before the first throw

Meet the opposing captain, verify the match arrangement and make sure every player understands how to record scores. Do not assume an old season uses the same format.

  • Verify player names and the match setup.
  • Agree on scorekeeping responsibilities and the applicable match sheet.
  • Check that the board and throwing area are clear and safe.
  • Know who to contact if a technical or rules issue occurs.

During and after play

Track the match calmly, keep the roster and score records consistent, and flag unresolved issues rather than inventing a ruling.

  • Double-check score entries before moving to the next leg.
  • Record substitutions or changes only as current rules permit.
  • Confirm final results with the opposing captain.
  • Submit or verify results through the current authorized process.
  • Report unresolved issues promptly and factually.
