Scorecards

A no touch scoring system will be in place for this event due to COVID-19. The umpire will maintain the accuracy of the scorecard. At the conclusion of every game, the umpire will verify the score with each coach and indicate confirmation with a check mark by each team’s name. This will be the official result for that match. (This supersedes the scoring process in USA Field Hockey’s Indoor Regulations for this event).

Prior to leaving the court, each coach should confirm the registered score is correct with the winning team being circled on the card. 

Immediately following the game, the umpire will submit the scorecard to the appropriate USA Field Hockey staff member who will post the result into Tourney Machine.
