Rule 18 THE TIMEKEEPER AND THE SCOREKEEPER
18:1 In principle, the timekeeper controls the playing time and the time-outs.
Generally, only the timekeeper should interrupt the game when this becomes
necessary.
Simultaneously, the scorekeeper has the main responsibility for keeping the score,
the team rosters, the scoresheet, the entering of players who arrive after the game
has started, and the entering of players who are not entitled to participate.
Other tasks, such as the control of the number of players and team officials in the
substitution area, are regarded as joint responsibilities.
Both support the referees in controlling the substitutions. (17:6, 17:11).
See also Clarification No. 8 regarding proper procedures for the interventions of the
timekeeper/scorekeeper when fulfilling some of the responsibilities indicated above.
Comment:
During I.H.F, Continental or National Championships the task distribution can be
organized in another way.
18.2 If there is no public scoreboard clock available, then the timekeeper must keep the
responsible team official for each team informed about how much time has been
played or how much time is left, especially following time-outs.
If there is no scoreboard clock with automatic signal available, the timekeeper
assumes the responsibility for giving the final signal at half-time and at the end of
the game (see rule 2:9 comment).
When a player is suspended, the scorekeeper confirms this to the player and the
referees by holding up a card. The card shows “1” for a player’s first suspension
and “2” for the second suspension.
