Before you start

  • Use a tablet. The Scorebook is made for a tablet held sideways; on a phone, keep score with the score controller instead.
  • Start the game first, in its score controller. See Keep score live.
  • The Scorebook is on the Pro plan, for basketball. Each team needs players on its roster.

Steps

Common questions

Can I use the Scorebook on a phone?
No. Game day offers Open Scorebook on a tablet or larger. On a phone, keep score with the score controller: see Keep score live.
How do I make a substitution?
Drag a player from the bench onto the court. If the court is full, drop them onto the player they replace to swap the two.
Which stats can I record?
The ones your season tracks. An admin chooses them in Settings › Scorebook & stats. When shots are tracked, points are recorded through SHOT (made or missed 2, 3 and free throws).
How do I fix an older play?
Open Plays and tap or swipe the play to undo it. An undone play can be redone the same way.
Can I change the score without crediting a player?
Yes. Tap a team’s score at the top of the Scorebook: those buttons adjust the scoreboard only, not tied to a player.
