Score Bench
At Moreton Bay Basketball Incorporation, we highly value our scorers and recognise the vital role they play in every game. Scorers are essential to ensuring matches run smoothly and fairly, and we are committed to supporting them through education, guidance, and opportunities to develop their skills.
As a club that relies largely on volunteer scorers, we aim to create a welcoming and supportive environment where individuals feel confident, appreciated, and empowered to grow within the game.

Parent Score Bench Model
To help games run smoothly and fairly, Moreton Bay Basketball Inc. operates a Parent Scorebench Model across all junior competitions. Each team is rostered to provide one parent or caregiver to perform scorebench duties at each game. The club coordinates and issues season-long scorebench rosters, taking the administration burden away from Team Managers and ensuring responsibilities are shared fairly across all families. This approach allows the club to provide a consistent and reliable game-day experience for players, coaches, referees, and spectators.
​
No previous scoring experience is required. Parents simply follow referee signals and record game information, with training and support available on game nights. If a rostered parent is unable to attend or prefers not to undertake score bench duties, they can arrange a swap with another family or organise a paid fill-in scorer through the club office. The club also provides on-site support, including Score Educators and experienced game officials, to help parents feel confident in the role.
