A couple of yesterday's scrimmages were notably short on officials, so I got the chance to test run a theory on how to concentrate as many NSO tasks into a single person. Under normal circumstances we'd just have the one NSO tracking penalties and have the refs JT and have the skaters do some other task for their penalties. The theory of operation is that a single person, during a scrimmage, can handle multiple positions with the ultimate goal of having all tasks covered enough that any eligible skating refs can stay on skates.
My guess is that this is not a new thing and that other folks have made similar efforts, and I'm interested to hear how others have done this. But before getting into that deeper question, I'd like to see if anyone actually assembled a worksheet to use for this. I'll probably have my own version completed within the month, but if anyone else has something to work from, that'd be awesome.
Oh, and the hope is that the single sheet can cover for the following positions:
- Penalty Track
- Jam Time
- Penalty Box
- Scorekeeping
Thank you!
