Scoring, Editing, and Deleting Penalty Runs

To award penalty runs to a team:

1. Go to Scoring > Penalty Runs or click the Pen button on the Scoring panel. The Penalties dialogue opens.
   

   

2. Open the Penalty dropdown and select the relevant Law.
   

   

3. If required, tick Add to Previous Ball to attribute the penalty to the last scored ball.
   

   

4. If applicable, leave the Set as Illegal Ball checkbox ticked. This is automatically selected for Laws 24.4, 28.2, 41.15, and 41.4.
   

   

5. Click Add to confirm the penalty.

This will:

• Add the penalty to the list in the dialogue
• Award the penalty runs to the appropriate team
• Automatically create an Innings Note

If other runs (or a dot ball) were scored on the same illegal delivery, enter them immediately after adding the penalty.

Use an alternative penalty (other than 5 runs) if:

• The Law is not known, or
• A penalty other than 5 runs is required

Change the penalty by selecting one of the following options from the bottom of the Law list:

• Other penalty – awarded to batting side
• Other penalty – awarded to bowling side

Update the Penalty Runs Awarded value as required.
