Manawatū Scorers can teach you the basic fundamentals of our scoring system

Our goal is to show that by taking one step as a time you can get a better understanding of the game as a Team Scorer or a parent, and maybe eventually take that next step to become a qualified scorer.

The 2026 Knowledge Assessments of Scoring Theory (KAST) are open for the Foundation Level, Level One and Level Two for the month of July.

There is no restriction on sitting the Foundation Level, which involves answering a set of questions about scoring in an online assessment. Levels One and Two are for scorers who successfully complete the Foundation Level and involve scoring a game from a video (Level One) and then analysing it (Level Two). There are also some online questions about scoring analysis in the Level Two assessment.

The assessment from Foundation Level to Level One and on to Level Two reflects a move from the Foundation Scorer to the Development Scorer in the SNZ National Scoring Pathway. Not all levels need to be attempted in any one year.

Badge Holder Scorers who have not been actively scoring and want to return to scoring should undertake the assessments from the Foundation Level. This is to ensure their knowledge is up to date.

We have created a clip on our new Softball New Zealand Scorers YouTube Channel which explains our assessment structure and gives a bit of an idea of what to expect in the assessments. https://www.youtube.com/@SNZScorers
