    SOFTBALL SCORING LEVEL 1

    1 DUTIES OF THE TEAM SCORER

    1. To score for your appointed team.2. You are a part of the team and governed by the official rules of softball

    (e.g. no smoking during the game). You are also governed by the appropriate ChildProtection Legislation relevant to each state.

    3. The team scorer is concerned only with the requirements of his/her own particularteam but must score the whole game for both sides.

    4. Be familiar with umpiring signals e.g. strikes, balls and outs.5. Be aware of local ground rules e.g. who picks up the match cards, etc.6. Before the scheduled starting time of the game (approximately 30 min.), write up

    the team as provided by the team coach.

    7. Exchange line-ups with the opposition team scorer.8. When requested during a game, provide information to the team coach (e.g. "What

    is the count?", "Where did this batter hit last time?").

    9. At the conclusion of the game, check with the opposition scorer that you agree onthe result and it is recorded on the match card. This may need to be signed by theumpire.

    10. The team score book is not normally made available to any person but the teamcoach.

    11. The team scorer is on the bench with the team and cannot leave during the gameunless permission is obtained from the plate umpire.

    2 EQUIPMENT AND REQUIREMENTS

    Scorebook Pens, pencils and sharpener White out (liquid and/or tape), Eraser Board and Clips Plastic Cover Chair Wet weather gear, including umbrella Hot weather gear, e.g. hat, sun block, etc Water

    3 THE TOSS AND THE INNINGS

    Prior to the match, enter the home team at the top of the double spread of pages and thevisiting team at the bottom, together with other details such as the playing field, scheduledstart time, etc.

    After the toss to determine which team bats first; note at the top of both pages the outcome bywriting TOP for the team that will bat first and BOTTOM for the team that will bat second (somescore sheets may have TOP and BOTTOM pre printed, circle or cross out as appropriate). Note:Some competitions designate the first named team to be TOP i.e. to bat first and occupythe first base bench.

    The team batting first forms the "top" half of an inning, the second batting team forms the"bottom" half of the inning and completes it, making it "even innings" whenever both teams havebatted the same number of times.

    As the first batter steps into the batting box for a turn at bat, make sure you are ready to recordthe play on the page where the batters name is written and where the top of the first inning is

    indicated.

    SOFTBALL SCORING LEVEL 1

    4 EXPLANATION OF SCOREBOOK

    4.1 BATTING AND FIELDING POSITIONS

    The batting positions are numbered 1-9 reading downwards in the players column. Get into thehabit of writing names neatly and legibly at the top of the box to allow enough space for

    substitutes to be written below. Record the first substitute directly below the starting playerand any other substitutes directly below these names.

    As your scorebook may be read by others, e.g. coach, umpires, tournament officials etc, scorersare required to write as legibly as possible. A good practice is to use capitals for playersSURNAMES and sentence case for Given names as the following example shows.

    A team will use 9 fielding positions (refer section 4.2) and may use a Designated Player ( DP); i.e.a player who bats for one of the fielders and who can also come into the game defensively.

    In this case, the DP is listed in the appropriate position in the batting lineup, and the tenthplayer, called the flex player (who fields for the DP) is placed at the bottom of the list in battingorder No. 10.

    Both fielding positions and uniform numbers are recorded on the score sheet in the appropriatecolumns.

    Hence, one page of a scorebook when filled out appears something like this:

    5.3 OUTS FROM HITS

    * in all cases indicates a fielders position number written to show which fielders areinvolved with the out.

    (a) Unassisted Put Out (PO*)This symbol is used when a fielder makes an out; e.g. 1st basefields the ball and either tags the runner or touches the base, PO3.

    (b) Assisted Put Out (*-*)This is used when one player assists by fielding the ball and thenthrows it to another player who retires the runner; e.g. Shortstopfields the ball and throws it to 1st base, 6-3.

    (c) Multiple Assists (*-*-*)Occasionally two fielders earn an assist; e.g. the Pitcher touches

    the ball, deflecting it to 3rd base who throws it to 1st base for theout, 1-5-3.

    (d) Fly Ball (F*)If a ball goes in the air and is caught by a fielder before it touchesthe ground, the batter is out; e.g. a fly ball is caught by centrefield, F8.

    (e) Foul Fly (FF*)If a ball goes in the air and is caught by a fielder in foul territorybefore it touches the ground, the batter is out; e.g. a foul fly ball

    caught by the catcher, FF2.

    5.4 ERRORS BY FIELDERS

    An error is a misplay by a fielder which prolongs the life of a batter or runner.

    It is the Scorer's responsibility to decide whether the batter reaches 1st base on an error or asafe hit. The Scorer has the authority to make all decisions involving judgment. However, theScorer cannot make a decision which conflicts with official rules or the Umpire's decision.

    If there is any doubt about a safe hit, the batter should be given the benefit (i.e. a safe hit, notan error). If this is followed consistently, fewer complaints will follow.

    (a) Fielding Error (E*)On a hit to the 2nd base fielder the batter should be put out at 1st.If the batter reaches first because 2nd base fumbles the ball we usethe symbol E followed by the fielder's number, E4.

    (b) Throwing Error (WT*)If the batter reaches 1st base because short stop throws badly, sothat 1st base could not take the throw with ordinary effort, or takesthe 1st base fielder off the base, it is recorded as a Wild Throw,WT6.

  • 7/28/2019 scoring sofbol

    10/21

    Scoring Manual Level 1 [9] August 2009

    SOFTBALL SCORING LEVEL 1

    (c) Receiving Error (*-E*)If 2nd base fields the ball cleanly and throws accurately to 1st basein time to get the out, but the 1st base player fumbles the ball toallow the batter to reach 1st, the error is recorded against the 1stbase player with an assist to 2nd base, 4 - E3.

    (d) Catching Error (MF*)If the fielder gets a hand or glove to a fly ball after making ordinaryeffort, but muffs (drops) it, we enter MF followed by the fielder'snumber, MF4.

    NOTE: No error is recorded in (a) or (d) if the fielder managed to touch the ball only as aresult of an extraordinary effort. Record a safe hit.

    5.5 PITCHING AND CATCHING PLAYS

    (a) Base on Balls (BB)When 4 pitches are judged by the umpire to be balls, a Base on Balls isawarded to the batter, who is entitled to advance to 1st base withoutliability to be put out. This is also called a walk.

    Note: Only 3 balls are shown as dots in the count.

    (b) Hit by Pitched Ball (HPB)When a batter is hit by a pitched ball, they are entitled to advance to

    1st base without liability to be put out.Note: The ball that hits the batter is not shown in the count.

    (c) Strike Out (K2 or KC)When 3 pitches are judged by the umpire to be strikes, and the thirdstrike is caught by the Catcher, the batter is out.

    Example (c) (i) shows a strikeout where the batter has swung at thethird strike and example (c) (ii) shows a strikeout where the batterhasnt swung at the third strike but the umpire has judged the pitch tobe a strike.

    Note: All pitches need to be recorded; however, the count cannotprogress beyond strike 2 no matter how many fouls are hit. The outstrike is not recorded in the count section.

    Scoring Manual Level 1 [10] August 2009

    SOFTBALL SCORING LEVEL 1

    (d) Dropped Third StrikeIf the third strike is not taken by the Catcher before it touches theground or another object this can be recorded as:

    (i) catcher drops the third strike and doesnt throw the ball to first

    base, KE2(ii) catcher drops the third strike but has time to throw the ball to 1stbase for the out, K2-3

    (iii) as in (ii) but 1st base makes an error so the runner is safe K2-E3

    Dropped Third Strike rule: If the 3rd strike is dropped with 1st base occupiedand less than 2 out, the batter is automatically out and it is recorded as a K2or KC.

    (e) If the batter swings and misses a Wild Pitch on the third strike andadvances safely to first, KWP.

    5.6 FIELDER'S CHOICE

    This symbol (FC) should not be used too freely. It should be used when a fieldercorrectly chooses to play an advance runner rather than play the batter at 1stbase (i.e. in your judgment if the fielder has an opportunity to make the out onthe advanced runner).

    If the fielder did not have a reasonable chance to get the out, it is an error, asthe fielder has made the wrong play.

    (i) With a runner on 1st via a safe hit to left field, the batter hits to shortstop,thus setting up a force play. Shortstop throws to 2nd base who retires therunner (either by playing the base or tagging the runner). This out isrecorded in the normal manner in the 2nd base box (6-4).

    The fielder chose to play the advance runner and therefore FC followed bythe fielder's number is placed in the 1st base box to show how the batterreached 1st base FC6.

    (ii) If an out is not made due to an error, the error must still berecorded. FC6 is placed in the batter's 1st base box, and theplay, e.g. 6-E4 (error by 2nd base receiving the ball), or WT6(wild throw by shortstop) is entered in the runners box asshown.

    At the end of a game the final result must be entered: e.g. "Won by Australia 2 - 0". You shouldconfirm the result with the opposition scorer. Other after game duties may need to be undertakene.g. submitting result, players played, etc, check local tournament rules and regulations.

    9.1 TIMED GAMES / INCOMPLETE INNINGSThis applies where local ground rules allow a game to finish at a given time rather than at eveninning, or when play is called off due to rain, etc. with an inning incomplete.

    In an incomplete inning, if the team second at bat draws level, or gets in front, then the scorestands. (Also refer POE (Points of Emphasis) 41Official Softball Playing rules and Case Book2006 2009)

    But in an incomplete inning, if the team first at bat draws level, or gets in front then the scorereverts back to that at the end of the last complete inning.

    Rule 5 Section 5(a): The score of a Regulation game shall be the score at the end of the lastcomplete inning, unless the team second at bat has scored more runs than the first team at bat inthe incomplete inning. In this case, the score shall be that of the incomplete inning. (OfficialSoftball Playing rules and Case Book 2006 2009)
