GIRLS LACROSSE FIELD DIMENSIONS
“There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies and statistics.” Mark Twain
Why Do We Record Stats? • Acknowledges the individual’s contributions to team. • Impacts players, teams, league and chapter. • Of utmost importance , read, comprehend and absorb the scintillating 2015 HS Statistician’s Manual • Prepare. Practice.
What Statisticians Record… • GAME PLAYED (GP) • DRAW CONTROL (DC) • DRAW POSSESSION (DP) • FREE POSITION (FP) • SHOTS (SH) • ASSISTS (A) • GOALS (G) • SAVES (S) • GROUND BALLS (GB) • CAUSED TURNOVERS (CT) • CLEARS (CL) • EXTRA MAN OFFENSE AND DEFENSE (MU/MD) • TURNOVERS (TO)
Tips for Statisticians • FILM YOUR GAMES • BECOME FLUENT IN THE LANGUAGE • VANTAGE POINT • STATTER SHEET – not the scorebook. • GET HELP • AT FIRST, FOCUS ON YOUR TEAM’S STATS
It’s about TEAM work in the Table Area Home and Visitor team’s must each have a certified statistician, a scorebooker and up to 3 spotters in the table area at every game. Certified Score Timekeeper Score Certified Statter (H) Book (H) Clock (H) Book (V) Statter (V) REFEREES Spotters (H) Spotters (V) OFFICIALS
Table Area Regulations • Table Area is neutral zone . You are representing the HS League when in table area. • You are a part of the game officials team while in table area. Both table crews work with each other and the referees as one team. • Table crews must be informed, competent, accurate, consistent and as much as is humanly possible, impartial . • Reconcile statistics – home statistician prevails • Keep your eye on the ball and on the refs… you can only record what you observe.
The Scorebook
Scorebook Duties (Home & Visitor) HOME: GET REF’s AUTOGRAPH!
Timekeeper/Clock
Timekeeper Clock Duties • Home team provides the official timekeepers – job dovetails with scorebook. Game and Penalty Timing plus timeouts/halftime • PRACTICE. Familiarize yourself with how the LAX clock scoreboard or stopwatches operate . • Before game, discuss with ref’s when they require time remaining alerts (have a cheat sheet at table). • LOUDLY countdown from 10 seconds at end of HALF so teams and ref’s can hear you then SOUND THE HORN .
Game Timing • Seconds matter… FOCUS. Please do not multi -task. • RUNNING TIME VS STOP TIME RUNNING TIME Time on clock 25:00 thru 2:00 minutes of each half. Stop the clock ONLY for a re- draw, team or official’s time-out. If the 10-goal differential rule is in effect, do NOT stop clock for redraws – stops ONLY for officials or team timeouts. STOP TIME Time on clock 2:00 thru 0:00 of each half. Stop the clock on every whistle unless there is a 10-goal differential. If the 10-goal differential rule is in effect during last 2 minutes, stop clock only for officials or team timeouts until differential is less than 10 goals.
Penalty Administration • Penalty times vary depending on type of CARD : o Yellow Card: 2 minutes o Red Card: 4 minutes • Penalized players must remain in the “special substitution box”, on their knee while serving the penalty. They may not obstruct the view of the scorer/timer. • Non-Releasable. Carry over to 2 nd half/OT.
Penalty Timing • Stop the game clock if official signals a card. • Set the penalty clock for the amount of penalty time. • Penalized players must remain in the “special substitution box”, on their knee while serving the penalty. They may not obstruct the view of the scorer/timer. • Penalty clock starts on official’s next whistle . Inform player the time on the game clock when they will be released. • Synchronize. Penalty clock stops when game clock stops
Penalty Release • When penalty time is expiring, provide a LOUD countdown from 10 seconds so player/coach can hear you. Player may be subbed @ 5 seconds remaining. • If multiple players are in penalty area, be clear on which player is being released - announce “Player # - This is your countdown!” • NO RELEASE DURING DRAW OR DEAD BALL
Penalty Tips • 1 Red Card? – After serving 4 mins in penalty box, player is ejected from game. • 2 Yellow Cards on same player? – After serving 2 mins in penalty box, player is disqualified from game. • 4 or more Y/R Cards per team? – Play man down for each add’l card.
Collaboration & Reconciliation Statistics are mirrored. It’s about team work. Spotters are absolutely critical and PRACTICING prior to season is VITAL.

Subjective Stat ahead… Assists Jerry Price, Princeton University SID - NCAA Men’s Statisticians Manual: “1) you can’t have more than one assist on a goal, unlike hockey ... There are no multiple assist goals 2 ) there is no rule that says you can’t give an assist if the scorer dodges or takes a certain number of steps ... An assist should be given if the pass leads directly to the goal ... When in doubt, err on the side of giving the assist ... Just don’t go nuts about it ...” • IN THE OPINION OF THE TEAM’S STATISTICIAN…
