The objectives of the PAVO Scorer Certification programs are to:
• Increase the knowledge and competency of scorers, including assistant scorers.
• Increase recognition of scorers as professional members of the officiating team.
• Advocate for reasonable scorer compensation.
• Build a database of certified scorers.
To be PAVO-certified, scorers must join WBVO as either a STANDARD MEMBER or an ASSOCIATE MEMBER. All PAVO members, including Scorer members, must accept the terms of the PAVO Code of Professional and Ethical Conduct, Conditions of Membership, General Waiver, and Media Release. These documents are electronically signed and submitted during the online, annual registration and dues-payment process.
