Jury (handball)
The jury for handball games consists of a timekeeper and a secretary .
Duties of the timekeeper
The timekeeper supports the two referees with the timekeeping. In handball, the net playing time counts. The timekeeper must therefore react immediately to the referee's signals and, if necessary, stop playing time. This applies to game interruptions and time-outs (team time-outs [TTO]). The timekeeper also manages the suspension times of punished players.
Duties of the secretary
The secretary supports the two referees with regard to the game management. He keeps the game record, in which, among other things, goals, penalties and time-outs are noted. Changes to the player list are made by him if necessary. Together with the timekeeper, the referees check the number of players and watch out for errors in substitutions and substitutions. You have to inform the referees, who then have sanctions.
Field of activity
The activities of the timekeeper and secretary are described in rule 18 (timekeeper and secretary) as follows:
18: 1 In principle, the timekeeper has the main responsibility for the playing time, the time-out and the suspension time of players who have been suspended. The secretary has primary responsibility for the lists of players, the score sheet, the entry of players arriving after the game has started, and the entry of ineligible players.
Other tasks, such as checking the number of players and team officials in the substitution area and leaving and entering substitutes, are considered joint responsibilities. In general, the timekeeper (and, if present, a technical delegate from the relevant association) should interrupt the game as required. See also note 9 for correct procedures for the timekeeper / secretary to intervene in fulfilling some of their responsibilities described above.
Only valid for the area of the DHB: It is allowed to combine the tasks of secretary and timekeeper to one person.
18: 2 If there is no public timing system, the timekeeper must inform the responsible team officials of each team about the time played or still to be played, especially after a time-out.
If there is no timing system with an automatic signal, the timekeeper takes responsibility for triggering the final signal at halftime and at the end of the game (see rule 2: 3).
Unless the public timing system is also set up to display suspension times (at least three per team for IHF games), the timekeeper places a card on the timekeeper's table on which the time of re-entry and the jersey number of the player who has been suspended are listed for each suspension .
The English name of the timekeeper is time keeper .
