The End of Over Score Check feature helps collaborative scorers quickly identify and fix scoring discrepancies at the end of each over.
This feature compares the entries made by each scorer for batsman, bowler, number and type of runs scored on each ball, and any fielders involved in a catch or run out.
If any mismatches are identified, scorers can quickly jump into Edit mode to correct them. Once updated, the score check reloads to verify that the new data matches.
This guide explains how to enable and use score checks with one, two, or three connected users.
Enable score checks
To turn on this feature:
- Go to Tools > Configuration. The Configuration dialogue box opens.
- Click the Network tab on the Configuration dialogue box.
- Under the Collaborative Scoring section, tick Show end of over score check when other scorers are connected.
- Click OK. Do this on all laptops used for scoring or analysis.
When the score check appears
At the end of each over, the score check appears automatically on all users' screens.
- Each user sees their own data first (on the left).
- If another user hasn't finished entering the over yet, the system shows a loading symbol until their data is ready.
If the scores match
If there are no scoring discrepancies:
- A tick and the message Scores Identical appears in black in the bottom left corner, along with a tick.
- All users should click Close and continue scoring when the next over commences.
If the scores don't match
If there’s a scoring discrepancy:
- An exclamation mark and the message Scores Differ appears in red in the bottom left corner.
- The score check panel highlights the differences between scorers.
- Users with correct scoring data (no red warnings in the left section) should click Close, but users with incorrect data should click Go to Edit Mode to make corrections.
- Once a user exits Edit mode, the score check panel will recalculate and reopen. If all errors have been corrected, Scores Identical will display in the bottom left corner. Click Close and continue scoring when the next over commences.
Notes on score check behaviour
- In a full collaborative setup with a Live Scorer, Support Scorer, and Video Analyst, the score check compares all three sets of data
- If only two roles are in use (e.g., Live Scorer and Support Scorer), the comparison only includes those users
