If a player is sent to the sin
bin, he is in the charge of his coach, who is responsible for his
behaviour until he is readmitted to the game. The timing for the
sin bin is to be carried out by the official timekeepers. |

Each school is to supply one time
keeper/scorer and one linesman for each match. The time keepers
will be responsible for signalling both half time and full time by
use of a bell, horn or siren, as well as keeping the time for sin

the game and one for timing the sin bin. |
