ROLE OVERVIEW

Scorekeepers are an essential part of Brodie League’s professional, NBA-level gameday experience. They are responsible for bringing precision and professionalism to every Brodie League game night - managing the scoreboard, shot clock, and live stream to ensure a seamless, fair, and exciting player experience. Their accuracy and focus behind the table directly shape how players and fans experience each game, making the Scorekeeper an essential part of the Brodie standard.

• Reset the shot clock accurately on all applicable plays (full 24-second and 14-second resets)

• Record team fouls, timeouts, and the possession arrow throughout each game

• Track jersey numbers and individual scoring accurately on scoresheets

• Communicate with referees to confirm score accuracy and manage stoppages

• Report any technical issues -- app crashes, stream outages, hardware failures -- to the League Manager immediately

Player Interaction & Atmosphere

• Greet players as they arrive, introduce yourself, and answer questions about schedule, score, or timing

• Acknowledge both teams at the conclusion of each game and contribute to a welcoming, community-driven environment

• Maintain a neutral, composed, and professional presence throughout all gameplay

Setup & Teardown

• Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled shift to complete score table and equipment setup

• Clean your score table area and confirm departure with the League Manager before clocking out
