Under Rule 4.2.4 the Official Scorer (with at least one assistant assigned to each game):
- keeps an accurate record of time-outs (team, referee's and broadcast) and notifies the referees if either team exceeds the number allowed;
- records the name and number of each player penalized, the type of penalty, the time in the quarter when it occurred and its duration;
- must notify the referees when any player accumulates two 5-minute penalties (an automatic game misconduct);
- keeps a record of both clubs' in-home players' names and numbers, who serve any bench minor penalty, including illegal substitution penalties.
Recorded game statistics (Rule 4.3) also include goalkeeper saves (a shot stopped or deflected by the goalkeeper's body or stick, or one that hits the post or crossbar), shots, shots on goal, loose balls, technical violations, and all fouls with a time-serving penalty.
