titleI don’t have an account, or my account doesn’t have scoring access. What can I do?

If you don’t have an account, you should ask your MyCricket club contact to set you up with one.

If you already have an account but don’t have scoring rights or access to score a match, please contact the Principal Administrator at your club to request access.

titleIs there a test option where I can try out all the app’s features?

titleHow can I download a match from MyCricket to score?

If you are already logged in, and you are on the Matches page, simply swipe down. Matches that have just been setup should populate in the list - providing they have been made active by the administrator on MyCricket.

titleCan I score a match that isn’t available on MyCricket?

Yes – it’s called a Custom match. You can create a custom match — with custom teams and players — by tapping the ‘Other Matches’ tab on the Matches screen, or by tapping ‘Continue without logging in’ from the Login screen. However, keep in mind that custom matches cannot be synced to MyCricket — they will only exist on your device.

titleCan multiple scorers be scoring the same game simultaneously?

Yes, multiple scorers can score the same game but only the first scorer to access the match, known as the Primary Scorer, will sync the score to MyCricket. Any subsequent scorers are known as Secondary scorers, and their scoring will remain on their device only, unless they take over scoring from the Primary scorer.

To switch scoring from a Primary scorer to a Secondary scorer:

  1. the Primary scorer must first save and unlock the match.  The match then becomes available for a Secondary scorer to take over scoring. 
  2. The new scorer will need to select the match and then download the latest scores (uploaded by the Primary scorer when the match was saved on Play-Cricket)
  3. The new scorer must then lock the match so they can become the Primary scorer.  To lock the match, tap the Lock icon on the top of the Scoresheet.

titleIf I make a mistake while scoring, how can I fix it?

You have four different options for fixing a mistake:
• You can undo any number of balls (in reverse order) by tapping the Undo icon on the Scoresheet.
• You can edit an individual ball or an entire over by tapping the Edit icon next to any ball or over in the Ball-by-Ball list. If you are using MyCricket LiveScore on a phone, the Ball-by-Ball list is available by tapping the ‘Edit’ tab on the Scoresheet.
• If you missed a delivery, you can insert it into an existing over. Simply tap the Insert icon next to any over, compose the ball, and then press Done.
• You can alter batting and bowling figures, as well as the total scores and wickets lost for any Innings, via the Scorecard. The Scorecard is available by tapping on the Menu icon on the Scoresheet, and selecting ‘View/Edit Scorecard’.

titleCan I score a MyCricket match offline?

Yes, you can. You will first need to download the match from MyCricket when you have have access to the Internet.  To do this, tap any MyCricket match on the Matches screen and select ‘Download’. This will save the match — as well as the player lists for both competing teams — to your device.

Then, when you wish to score offline, you can access your Downloaded matches either from the menu on the Matches screen, or by pressing ‘Continue without logging in’ from the Login screen.

titleI can never access the help content offline. What can I do?

titleHow can I make the most of my battery while scoring?

To extend the battery life of your device when using the app, use these tips:

  • Reduce Screen Brightness.
  • To stop your phone turning up the brightness every time it deems it necessary, turn Auto-Brightness off.
  • While the screen is on, you're consuming power, so make sure that your device isn't awake when you don't need it to be.
  • Disable Background App Refresh.
  • Use Low Power/Battery Saver Mode.
  • Turn off unnecessary radios such as GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi (The app will not use Bluetooth at any stage and, if you are using cellular data to connect, the WiFi can also be safely switched off).
  • Turn off non-essential notifications such as those of email and messaging apps.
  • To ensure that the battery doesn’t deplete during a game, charge device at every opportunity, for e.g. lunch break between two innings.

titleHow does the TV Scoreboard Display work?

Scorers will have the ability to display a scoreboard via an external TV providing they are using an iOS device.

 

When connected, the scoreboard will automatically update based on the live score input during an innings.

 

Scoreboard Display:


Image Added

 

Connection methods

 

The scoreboard display is compatible with all iOS devices using an HDMI cable or Apple TV.

 

The connection will need to be setup before the External Scoreboard (TV) function can be used.

 

Notes

  • If you wish to use AirPlay to broadcast to an Apple TV, ensure AirPlay Mirroring is switched ‘on’ in the iOS control centre.

 

  • Once the iPhone/iPad is plugged into a TV using HDMI, the display of the device will be mirrored to that TV, meaning the TV will display what is on the device. When the “External Scoreboard (TV)” option is set to ‘ON’, the display on the TV will change to the scoreboard display.

 

  • Please ensure the TV’s AV/Input channel is set to the HDMI port the device is plugged into

 

 

Sizing and Display

 

The sizing and display is proportional meaning the display will be adjusted for any size screen to suit – big or small. It has also been optimized for a 16:9 (widescreen) format.

 

Note

  • For a clearer display, use a TV that has a resolution of 720p or higher.
