titleNote: Multiple Scorers

Multiple scorers can now score any Play-Cricket game simultaneously.

  • Primary scorer:
    • First user to access a match is the primary scorer
    • Primary scorer has the lock on the match, and therefore the ability to sync scores to Play-Cricket.
    • Primary scorer has the ability to release the lock on the match at any point by pressing Back, and 'Saving and Unlocking' the match
  • Secondary scorer(s):
    • No lock on the match, and therefore no ability to sync scores to Play-Cricket.
    • Secondary scorers are essentially scoring the match in a ‘standalone’ mode.
    • If the primary scorer relinquishes the lock on the match, a secondary scorer can take over the lock by pressing the Lock icon in the toolbar and following the prompts.

NB: Successfully taking over the lock on the match will clear the local version of the match from the user’s device, and replace it with the most up-to-date synced version from the Play-Cricket system.
