IHF Game
Supervisors...
updated Jan. 2008 In its supervisory capacity for IHF roller hockey games, experienced
IHF volunteers are present to watch Varsity and Junior Varsity (JVA, JVB
and JVC) games at all rink locations. While rulings made on the rink are
the responsibility of the referees, the IHF supervises games for adherence
to IHF rules by players and spectators alike. Following each game, a report
of the game is submitted by the volunteer to the IHF Board and maintained
on file. The function of game supervision is critical to maintaining the
high quality of play in the IHF League. In accordance to IHF
RULES, SECTION I, The IHF has recently appended this rule to allow for schools
(teams) to appoint a qualified individual(s) who may elect to become a Game Supervisor (a.k.a. Game
Watcher) in lieu of serving on the IHF Board. However, it should also be
noted that all members of the IHF Board also actively serve in the capacity
of game supervisor. On November 27 2007, the IHF Board of Directors instituted a
new Game Supervisor Schedule effective with all IHF games as of December 3,
2007. Instead of making it
(volunteering for game supervision of games each week) an option, which has
been unsuccessful thus far, we have decided the best way to handle this
responsibility is to divide the League, the divisions, and the schedules up
on an equitable basis. Then assign schools to specific days and weeks so
everyone will be accounted for and, if they serve, will provide the proper
share of responsibility and volunteerism to qualify their school and team
for the playoffs, if they are eligible! (read
the announcement). On January 5 2008, the IHF Board of Directors once again
updated the Game Supervisor program, guidelines, reporting form and
schedule (read
the announcement) for the remainder of the 2008 season. This update addresses the Point System
associated with Game Supervision and Playoff Eligibility, Communications
and Scheduling, a Standardized Report format, and a Board-designated
chairperson for supervising the game Supervisor program. Included with the new guidelines is a new game Report form (download
the form) for use by all Supervisors effective immediately – please delete
all prior forms! IHF Game Supervisors should prepare and submit a game
report for each game supervised.
Supervisors should use this report form only and complete all
details included in the form. This
form may be submitted in Word.doc format as an attachment or copied into
the body of an email. Game report(s)
are to be emailed to the IHF Board of Directors within 24 hours of game
time. Game Supervisor
schedules will be emailed with weekly updates in 2008. The page that follows describes the primary duties and
procedures of the IHF Game Supervisor. Please read!
