How to enter scores

The Scores page lists every game of your event by day and start time, each ready for its score. A saved score is final: the standings count it straight away and, once a division’s pool play is over, its teams are placed in the playoffs.

Before you start

• You need to manage the event, or have a role on it that keeps scores.
• The event has a schedule. See how to generate your schedule.

Enter a game’s score

1. In your event’s planner, click Scores in the sidebar, under Event day.

   

2. Type each team’s Score. The game shows In Progress until you save it, and the bar at the bottom of the window counts your unsaved changes.

   

3. Under each team, pick its MVPs from its roster in MVP 1 and MVP 2. In a mixed division they’re Female MVP and Male MVP. A player who still owes their fee isn’t offered.

   

4. Click Force Save to save this game now. It’s saved as final, and a score left empty counts as 0.

   

5. The game reads Completed, with its final score in its header.

   

Record a forfeit or a game that doesn’t count

1. Under Forfeit, pick the team that forfeited. The division’s forfeit score fills in, and you can still change it. The team that forfeited needs the lower score.

   

2. For a game that shouldn’t count, such as a friendly, type its score and turn off Counts for standings. Only pool games have this switch.

   

3. Click Save Changes in the bar at the bottom of the window. It saves every game you changed at once, each as final.

   

4. The games read Completed, and the bar says No unsaved changes.

   

What a score updates

• Standings: they count every final score, except games that don’t count for standings. See how to read and adjust the standings, and how to set up standings for the forfeit score and the points for a win.
• Playoffs: when the last pool game of a division is final, its teams are placed in their playoff games by their standing, unless you hold the playoffs until you release them or the playoffs are locked. Once a playoff game of the division has started, a corrected pool score no longer moves them. See how to release the playoffs and sync seeds. A playoff game only takes a score once both its teams are known; until then it says Complete previous round first. When it’s final, its winner, and its loser where a game waits on it, move on to their next game.
• Schedule: the game’s card shows the score, and a team that forfeited is marked Forfeited. A game that doesn’t count says so in its details. See how to open a game’s details.
• MVPs: the players you pick add up under MVP votes. See how to see MVP votes.

If a score changes so that the team that forfeited no longer has the lower score, the forfeit is dropped. Scorekeepers can also enter scores live from a tablet at the court: see how to set up scoreboards and pair tablets.
