Common questions

Is there a quicker way on game night?
Yes. On Today, a game that needs a result has an Enter final button that opens the same score boxes.
I typed the wrong score. How do I fix it?
Click Undo straight away, or open the game again: the boxes show the saved score and the button reads Update final. Change a number and click it.
Can stat keepers enter final scores?
Not here: final scores in the Schedule are for league admins and editors. Stat keepers keep score live from Game day. See Keep score live.
Do I also need a box score?
No, the final score is enough for results and standings. Player stats need a box score: see Enter a box score after the game.
