The training night will be the same one used by the New South Wales Umpires & Scorers Association in their training of scorers across New South Wales and was developed by Test Match scorers.

It will be held at Lake Ginninderra College at Manuka Oval starting at 7pm. The cost of the night will be $20 which covers the cost of the training materials and the manual which will be given out on the night. The training night will be a perfect lead in to undertaking the initial scoring exam run by NSWCU&SA for those wishing to undertake that exam to gain scorers accreditation.
