19:1
The scorekeeper checks the team rosters; only the players listed are entitled
to participate. The scorekeeper, together with the timekeeper, checks the
entering of players who have arrived after the game started or are re-entering
after a suspension.
The scorekeeper is in charge of the scoresheet and makes the necessary notations (goals, warnings, suspensions, disqualifications, and exclusions).
19:2
The timekeeper controls:
a. the playing time
(2:1, 2:2, 2:4, 2:7); the referees decide when the clock is to be stopped
and restarted (2:4);
b. the number of players and officials in the substitution area (4:1);
c. together with the scorekeeper, the entering of players who have arrived
after the game started (4:3);
d. the exit and entry of the substituting players (4:4-5);
e. the entering of players who are not entitled to participate (4:6);
f. the suspension time of suspended players (17:4);
It is the task of the timekeeper to give a loud signal to stop the game
at the end of a half, if there is no public clock with automatic final signal
available.
19:3
When there has been an interruption of the playing time (time-out), the
timekeeper must inform the responsible team official for each team about
how much time has been played or how much time is left (except when there
is a public clock).
19:4
If the timekeeping equipment is not capable of displaying also the suspension
time (at least three per team during IHF games), the timekeeper shall display
a card on the timekeeper's table, showing the expiration time of each suspension,
together with the number on the player's jersey.
Should this display
not be feasible, the card shall be handed to the responsible team official.
