Ten minutes before the toss
Load both squads, confirm overs and playing conditions, and check the batting order. Almost every mid-match panic traces back to something skipped in this window.
Scoring on a bad connection
Rural grounds rarely have reliable data. Scoring continues offline and syncs the moment signal returns, so followers see a catch-up burst rather than a blank scorecard.
- Keep the device charged — scoring runs the screen hot
- Don't refresh the page to 'fix' a lag; let it sync
- One scorer per match, with a named backup
The innings break checklist
Verify extras, confirm the total, and check the wicket log against the fielding side's memory. Fixing a discrepancy at the break takes a minute; fixing it after the result takes an appeal.
After the final ball
Submit for confirmation, get the official sign-off, and the scorecard locks. From that point it feeds standings, player stats and leaderboards automatically — no second data entry anywhere.
