A coach must be present at the Scorer's table. Please have the work team available court side at the coin toss for the next match. Each work team is to provide a whistle for the down official, pens and pencils for score table duties. At the completion of the match, please remove all pens and pencils. Be sure the coaches pickup their lineup sheets. Teams are responsible for clean-up of their bench area. The court official and /or Tournament assistants will be responsible for any match papers.
