The Australian acknowledged the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic and believed that the webinars are great opportunities for the basketball world to connect and learn from each other.

"With the world a very different place than what we are used to at the moment, I see these webinars as a chance to connect to the wider basketball community," she said.

The score table webinar will consist of four sessions that will cover the beforementioned Introduction, Basics on Score Sheets, Basic Statistic Definition and, FIBA Live stats program.

Nicholas will present the "Introduction to Score Table" to give a basic overview of the role of a table official during games.

"I hope these webinars will give the participants a bit of an understanding of score table and once we have the opportunity to return to the game that we all love that they will get to put this into practice," she said.
