Student board member asks why JV games don’t use home scoreboard; Board to explore options
Summary
Student board member Logan asked why the home scoreboard isn't used for junior varsity games; board and staff said Section 2 refereeing rules and cost of an additional official to run the scoreboard are the main barriers and staff will check for practical options.
Student board member Logan asked why the scoreboard cannot be used for JV home football games when other teams in the division use one. Logan said families and players would like to see the score displayed at JV games.
Board members and staff explained that Section 2 refereeing rules require an official to run the scoreboard and JV contests typically do not pay for that additional official. Speaker 6 explained, "It's a section 2 reffing issue. They have to have a ref on... JV does not pay for an additional ref to run the scoreboard. That's why." The Board asked District official (Speaker 4) and staff (Speaker Ticelli referenced) to check whether an alternative could provide score display without violating officiating rules.
