The basics you need when scoring is:

A score book

• Fine width blue, red and green pens, mechanical pencils
• Narrow twink type white out
• Eraser if using a pencil
• A ruler (plastic protractors work well and don't break as easily)
• One of the above manuals for quick reference
• Post it notes for jotting down queries or game plays when things happen quickly
• A hard shell clip board box for keeping your gear in and for a hard writing surface.
• Not essential but useful is the Softball NZ Rule Book available from Harbour Softball or the Home Plate gear shop on Saturdays

Where you sit in the NZ Scorers’ scheme of things

• Level 1 = actively scoring (most team scorers)
• Level 2 = passed the NZ Scorers theory exam
• Level 3 = passed the NZ Scorers practical exam
• Level 4 = passed the NZ Scorers badge practical exam
• Levels 5 - 7 = promotion to and retainment is based upon assessments
• You can go as far as you want and most are quite happy at Level 1.
