Scorers Courses

Introduction to Scoring Courses

This is an ideal course for complete beginners or as a refresher for anyone returning to scoring. It covers the very basics of scoring. The aim of this course is to identify and practise the basic skills with which to record a cricket match. It doesn’t cover everything, but it will give you the tools to get started, including:

  • Scoring record (scoresheet)
  • Umpire’s signals
  • Scoring symbols
  • Recording wickets and extras
  • Scoresheet balancing.

In the afternoon we will focus on using either of the two electronic scoring Apps. Play cricket app (tablet) or PCS Pro (laptop).

PCS Pro – Electronic Scoring Course

Scoring electronically has become ever more popular as a method of scoring and this workshop covers the use of Play Cricket Scorer Pro (PSC Pro®), which is a free scoring program for Microsoft Windows ® based computers, developed in conjunction with ECB ACO scorers and with direct links to the Play-Cricket League Management system

Most scoring software is intuitive to use but many of the packages (PCS Pro included) contain advanced features and customisation that may not be so obvious Whilst they are all easy to use, the most important thing to know, is how to correct things when the inevitable mistakes occur.

This one-day workshop will take you through scoring using PCS Pro from setting up a match to printing out a scorecard or a player’s wagon wheel and will give you some handy hints on how to make amendments as quickly as possible, while play continues.
