During the game, the Official Scorer records:
- every goal and up to two assists, as the Referee announces them (and has them announced on the PA)
- which players from each team actually participated
- the time any substitute or temporary goalie entered the game
- any goal scored while a team's goalie was pulled
After the game:
- Prepare the Official Scoresheet immediately for the Referee's signature.
- The Referee checks the scoresheet, including rosters and players in uniform, for accuracy before signing.
- Forward the signed scoresheet to the proper authorities (the governing body of the teams, as set by the Affiliate).
Once the Referee has signed the scoresheet, no changes can be made to it.
