Electronic scoring sheet to be tested in NORCECA

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, February 17, 2013 – The volleyball electronic scoring sheet will be tested in several of this year’s competitions of NORCECA as a starting process to a definite adoption of the system in 2014.

The decision was taken by the VIS and Statistics Commission of the confederation during its annual meeting at the confederation’s headquarters in Santo Domingo on Sunday.

Judith Sandino of Nicaragua, president of the commission and a new member of the FIVB Technical Commission, informed that a series of training courses will be conducted through the FIVB Regional Development Centre in order to technically prepare the required personnel.

During the one-day meeting, attended by Cristobal Marte Hoffiz, President of NORCECA and FIVB First Executive Vice President, and Marta Centeno de Sajche, FIVB Executive Vice President, the members of the commission reviewed the volleyball and beach volleyball tournaments held last year.

“We had the opportunity to discuss the positive points achieved last year and the areas where improvement is still needed,” Sandino said.  “In general it was a good year as we increased the number of people with the skills to run the statistics system around the different zones of our confederation.”
