How do I record goals and missed shots?

Question

Accepted Answer

From the World Netball Technical Officials Manual (2024). Scorer 1 keeps the official score sheet and records every shot, goals and misses, as they happen (Rule 5.5 b): Goals are numbered in sequence for each shooter, with GS and GA recorded separately for each team (1, 2, 3...). Misses are shown as a dot in that shooter's column, on the line of the current centre pass. As each goal goes in, also cross through the next number in that team's progressive score. Special cases: A shot deflected or intercepted by a defender that doesn't score is a miss. If a defender's deflection goes through the ring, it's a goal (Rule 9.3). Don't record a missed attempt if a sanction is then awarded for it (for example a defender moves the post, or the infringer at a penalty pass takes part early). Only the shot from the new penalty pass counts. A disallowed goal (the shooter infringed while shooting) isn't recorded as an attempt. A penalty pass shot is recorded against the shooter who took it. Shooter changes: when a GS or GA is replaced, draw a red box around their last action (an X in a box if they hadn't shot), and leave room for the new shooter's record. Cross-check the score with Scorer 2 regularly, and at every break.
