Scroll to the bottom of the page to view a video summary of the functions described in this guide.
Overview
Par Scores tables can only be generated in the second innings of a match. If the first innings was reduced, a revised target will be automatically calculated when you move into the second innings.
Accessing and Printing the Par Scores Table
To access or print a Par Scores table in the second innings of a match:
- Click the DLS Par text link on the Score Summary panel. The Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Par Score Table dialogue opens. The table displays automatically generated Par Scores that reflect the reduced number of overs.
- Check that the Auto-update using DLS box is ticked.
- Open the dropdown beside the Auto-update using DLS checkbox and check that the appropriate version of DLS is selected (e.g. DLS Professional or Standard).
- Choose the format for your table. These are:
- Over by Over: This is the recommended format for general use.
- Ball by Ball: Use this format only if specifically requested.
- Click the arrow on the Print button and choose Print, Save to PDF, or Email as PDF.
