Scorebook

How to use the scorebook

Score your league, Cup and Plate matches on your phone as they happen. When you finish, the result goes straight in: no card to fill in and send, and the tables, stats and FSL points update themselves.

Why use it

  • The result is in straight away. Finish the match and it's done.
  • Tables and stats update themselves: league tables, player averages and the highest away scorer.
  • FSL points are worked out for you, straight off the scorebook.
  • Everyone can follow along, with the latest scores from the other games and a result card to share.

Opening the scorebook

  1. Log in as a player for your team.
  2. Go to your team page. The green Scorebook button is at the top, for your next fixture, home or away.
  3. Tap it. If the players are already picked, it takes you straight to the match.

Picking the players

  1. Pick each team's 8 players from the list, in throwing order. Switch between Home and Away at the top.
  2. A player short? Pick L/S at position 7 or 8 and that side's lowest scorer throws again.
  3. When both sides are ticked, tap Continue to Match.

FAQ

Who can open the scorebook?

Any player logged in for one of the two teams, from their own team page. Committee members can open it too.

What if both teams score the match?

That is fine. The first scorebook completed is the official result, and the committee can check any differences.

Someone else on my team already has it open. What now?

Only one person per team can have it open at a time, so it will say "Scorebook in use" with their name. Wait for them to finish, or ask them to close it.

We put a player in the wrong place, or someone changed. Can we fix it?

Yes, for your own team. Tap the pencil next to the player's name while scoring to change who is in that spot.

I typed a wrong score. How do I correct it?

On a phone, tap the player's square or use the arrows to go back to that leg, then type the right score. Once all seven legs are in, tap any leg in the match summary to review it. On a tablet or laptop, just tap the cell.

Can I close it halfway through?

Yes. Scores save as you go. Tap Scorebook on your team page again and it picks up where you left off.
