Guidelines and Requirements for Scorekeepers

Application for National Scorekeeper

Scorekeeper responsibilities vary from Region to Region.   However,  one important responsibility of the scorekeeper is to check spelling of names.  With the Chief Judges help,   the scorekeeper should attempt to make sure that every name,  dog name and department name is spelled correctly.  National Scorekeepers have a lot more responsibility during National Trials to include confidentiality until the close of trial,  triple checking everything, etc.   Regional and National scorekeepers should never alter, change or guess a entry made by a judge in the field.  All of these should be returned to the judge who completed the scoresheet and that judge should make the appropriate alternation if needed and initial.
