Questions
Why does the score page ask for my location?
You need to be at the ground to keep the score, so the score page asks where you are.
Can I keep the score from home?
No. Scores come from people at the game. From home, you can follow the match live.
What if I lose signal while scoring?
Check whether the score page says Sent or queued. Reconnect and reopen the match so queued reports can send, then check the result before entering it again.
Someone else is scoring the same match. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Everyone at the game can score. Keep scoring what you see.
The score I’m keeping says Disputed. What now?
Keep scoring as normal. Disputed means it’s being checked. A clear photo of the scoreboard helps if you’re asked for one.
Why do I need to give my date of birth?
We need it to know which rules apply to your account. It’s never shown to anyone.
