The REGIONAL SCOREKEEPER certification is for those individuals who keep score often and who would like to be more of a leader in scorekeeping. Regional scorekeepers generally are very experienced in keeping score and are allowed to rate provisional and other regional scorekeepers. All junior national and national referees must be certified as regional scorekeepers.

REGISTRATION – All certified scorekeepers must be members in good standing with the Region. For now, being “in good standing” simply means that any registration paperwork and information is up-to-date, and all required fees are paid. All new and recertifying scorekeepers must be registered before participating as a scorekeeper in any event and before any ratings. It is recommended that all certified scorekeepers actively keep score on matches throughout the season.

PRIOR CERTIFICATION – New regional scorekeepers must have been certified as a provisional scorekeeper the previous two seasons. Any person recertifying as a regional scorekeeper must have been certified as a regional or higher level scorekeeper the previous season.

AGE – New regional scorekeepers must be 16 years of age or older as of September 1 of the current season.

CLINIC – All new regional scorekeepers must complete the current season on-line scorekeeper clinic. Be sure to complete the entire clinic. Recertifying regional scorekeepers need to complete the clinic only if specifically notified by the scorekeeper chairperson. There will be no “live” Region-run scorekeeper clinics.

EXAM – New and recertifying regional scorekeepers must complete the current season on-line scorekeeper test, corrected to 100% with annotated references. A score of at least 75 is required on the first attempt.

RATINGS – New regional scorekeepers must be rated on two matches with a minimum of 2 sets each, by two different raters. Ideally, matches with a deciding set are preferred, but that is generally not possible to predict. Any regional or higher level scorekeeper may perform ratings. The rating sheets must be attached to your progress form, and the raters must sign your progress form. Recertifying regional scorekeepers need to obtain passing rating(s) only if specifically notified by the scorekeeper chairperson.

SPECIAL – Any provisional scorekeeper seeking to upgrade to a new regional scorekeeper certification must obtain approval from the scorekeeper chairperson before starting the process, email scorekeeper@krva.org.
