The 2025 Knowledge of Scoring Assessments (KAST) is from 1 to 15 September. There is no restriction for sitting the Foundation Level which involves answering scoring questions and 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). The Level Two assessment has some questions about scoring analysis.
The assessment for Foundation Level, to Levels One and Two reflects moving from the Foundation Scorer to Development Scorer in the SNZ National Scoring Pathway. Not all levels need to be attempted in any one year.
We will be trialling reopening the Foundation Level in October and expect to reopen Level One and Two during the playing season in 2026.
There is a video on the Softball New Zealand Scorers You Tube channel that explains our assessment structure and gives a bit of an idea of what to expect in the assessments. https://www.youtube.com/@SNZScorers
