When the final innings of a match is completed, NV Play Cricket automatically calculates the match result. Match points are also calculated automatically if the competition's points system has been set up and the match is not a playoff.
If required, you can override both the result and the match points, although this should only be done in rare situations.
Open the Edit Match Results/Points dialogue
- Go to Scoring > Edit Match Result/Points.
-
The Edit Match Result/Points dialogue opens.
Override the match result
If the match result is incorrect:
- Tick the Override Calculated Result checkbox.
- Choose the correct result from the radio button or dropdown list options.
- The Result Display field will update automatically based on your selection. Alternatively, you can type directly into the Result Display field.
Before overriding the result, investigate why the automatic result is incorrect. For example, in a DLS match, incorrect Revised Overs entries might result in a wrong Par Score or Revised Target. Fixing the source of the problem will correct the calculated result automatically.
Override the match points
If the match points are incorrect:
- Tick the Override checkbox.
- Adjust the individual points values for one or both teams as required.
- The Total will update automatically.
This is typically used in cases such as applying a post-match penalty (e.g. for a slow overrate).
Exclude a match from the points table
There may be reasons that a match should be excluded from the points table, such as the match belongs to another competition or is a playoff match.
Tick Exclude from Points Table to prevent the match from affecting the points for both teams on the points table.
Tick Playoff Match if the match is a playoff (e.g. quarter-final, semi-final, or final). This allows Player Stats to be included in the Competition Stats and allows the automated Competition Winner text to be updated from the winner of the table to the latest Playoff winner.
A Playoff match should also have Exclude from Points Table ticked so that the points table is not automatically updated.
