A walk through on the M.C.A scoring exam by recent scoring graduate.

M.C.A (www.mumbaicricket.com) regularly conducts Scoring exams for aspiring scorers which are later absorbed by the M.C.A for their matches. This piece of write up is an effort to help aspiring scorers have a closer look at the over all process. People turning up for the scoring and umpiring exams are usually those who wish to stay close to the game.
The latest scoring classes were conducted by M.C.A around 20th June 2016 at the Wankhade Stadium wherein the first day saw almost 130 participants attend the class. The numbers however declined over the course of time.The scoring exam form is charged a meagerly Rs.260/- and the lectures are conducted over 10 days from Mon- Friday from 6 PM – 8.30 PM. Topics covered in the lectures include rules, laws or cricket, scoring method (box and linear method), difficulties faced by scorers etc.
The scoring exam is split into theory and practical both of 50 marks each. Practical exam for scorers gets interesting wherein the panel does a running commentary of any random game and each scorer is asked to record it on the scoresheets. Students scoring above 80% are marked as passed and others would have to re-appear. And btw- 80% attendance is mandatory, so it cannot be taken lightly and it helps to filter out students serious about scoring.
If the student is marked as passed, he or she would get a call from the M.C.A office to check on the availability for local matches. For the initial matches, the students are accompanied by senior scorers and gradually they are asked to score on their own.
The M.C.A website has published the list of scorers on their website. These scorers appeared in the June 2016 batch. – http://mumbaicricket.com/mca/news.php?PageIndex=1084
