What is Online Scoring and what is Offline scoring?

Using Online Scoring, users could score or record a match ball by ball. Either users could score a match live from the ground, watch match from a television and score or use a ball by ball script and score a match. While doing Online Scoring, users need to have details of all the balls being bowled in the match. However in cases when users do not have complete information of all the balls and have only summarized information provided at the end of the match, users could use the Offline Scoring option where the entire proceedings of the match are updated in the form of batting card, bowling card, fall of wickets, partnership, over summaries, landmarks, etc. Using Online Scoring all that the user would do is to score every ball as and when it is bowler. The application in turn would summarize the above mentioned information.

If I start scoring in one method can I switch over to another method in the middle?

Yes. Once the user decides to start a match by scoring or recording ball by ball, he or she could always stop recording the same and continue to update all the batting card, bowling card, fall of wickets, partnership, over summaries, landmarks, etc at an logical end that which is left to the user to decide (eg. at the end of a session, end of the days play, completion of an innings, or at the end of the match). However at this stage, user must have the complete compiled summary of the match and needs to update the same.

After updating the compiled data using the Offline Scoring module, and if the user feels that the compiled information is upto date till the current proceedings of the match, he / she could still switch to score the match Online.

Is it necessary to create all the master details before I start scoring?

No. Users could always create masters as and when they need to create data while setting up information for the match (creating masters on the fly). While setting up the data for a new match, or selecting players for the match, Scorite provides a feature to add new data. This is automatically updated to the database also.

Can I exchange Scoresheets from another scorer?

Yes. Different Scorite users could exchanges scoresheets of matches scored by them with others.  To exchange scoresheets with other users, all that the user would need to do is to copy the scoresheet file, stored as *.scd, to other users. User could copy this file from their system to others using the regular windows method of copying files.

If users are receiving scoresheets from other users, they need to do an import. By doing so, users would be ensured that the master data created by other users are mapped to master data created by the current user. New master data can also be added if user finds no relevant master data.

I made a mistake while scoring. How do I correct the scores?

In case of any human errors made during a live recording which are noticed or errors noticed during scorecard compilation in the post match scenario, a provision is always required to correct such errors. Mistakes could be wrong batsman selected, wrong bowler selected, number of runs credited to a batsman incorrectly, wrong fielder being selected, a ball information being totally missed out, or an additional ball information being updated while recording, etc a option is always required to quickly correct the same and go ahead with recording to provide perfect scores.

In a manual process of maintaining scoresheets, this becomes a messy job and involves a lot of overwriting. Scorite provides a module exclusively to handle such delicate scenarios with a very easy to correct data Data Correction module.

To correct data use the Correct Scoresheet option available in the Tools menu. This will allow the user to correct the innings currently selected.

How do I correct the Scores while I am mid way through entering a Score card?

In cases when errors are noticed in scores of batters or bowling figures, etc., users could always use the Offline Scoring module to correct the figures.

Top

How do I correct the Scores after I complete entering the Score Card?

Users can correct scores following the same procedure mentioned in the previous scenario.

Why do I have to transfer data from Scoresheets to database?

Once a scoring of a match is complete in all respects, the user could choose to archive the scored match (or transfer the match data to the database). Archiving a match would help the user generate statistical reports. Archiving would mean that the entire match information is summarized and updated into a database. In no means that the information archived could be retrieved to create a scoresheet.

To transfer the match data from scoresheets to database use the Send Data to Database option from the Tools menu. This would transfer the scoresheet that is currently open.

I have created a Scoresheet. But I forgot where I have created. Where do I go and search for that?

Scorite does not help users find scoresheets. First of all browse the default folder that you have specified in the Preferences options. This is the folder where Scorite prompts users to Save scoresheets or to Open scoresheets. Otherwise if you remember the name given while saving the scoresheet, use the Windows Find option to search for the scoresheet. All scoresheets will have a default extension of *.scd.

I have by mistake overwritten a Score Sheet. Can I recover that back?

No.

Why do I need to install Stump Sentry?

Stump Sentry is a small hardware device that would easily fit into your system externally. This device would enable the Scorite application to function. By this device we can protect illegal use of the application.
