Background

PlayHQ Electronic Scoring (E-scoring) runs in your web browser and can be used from a mobile, tablet or laptop computer. Generally, the larger the screen, the better.

Your club contact for all things scoring, including adding E-scoring access, is [email protected]. To get E-scoring access please email the name of the parent and the team.

Note: Results for non-competition matches (U9 to U11) do not need to be entered into PlayHQ. There are no competition points or ladders in these age groups.

E-Scoring

Manual results entry

If you scored in a scorebook, results can be manually added to PlayHQ:

Manual or Online Scoring?

The clubs and association recommends that at least one manual scorebook is used, along with e-scoring (if it is to be used). This will ensure a backup in case of malfunction.

If you are fully confident with using PlayHQ Electronic Scoring both scorers can use it provided your devices are charged. The second scorer is the "Secondary Scorer" in this case.

Do I need to score in non-competition age groups ?

U9 to U11 matches are non-competition and no score or result needs to be recorded. No individual player scores are to be entered into PlayHQ. The focus in non-comp is enjoyment of the game and not the result.

What you need to score

  • A fully charged laptop or device with at least 4 hours battery life (6 for Senior matches)
  • 2x USB cable for phone/tablet - for both the USB-C and Apple types.
  • Recommended: a portable battery pack to power a laptop, phone or tablet

Recommended devices

E-Scoring runs in a web browser, so any device can run it. PlayHQ E-Scoring works better on larger screens

Senior (open age) competition match scoring

As the batting team generally scores their innings, if both teams are live scoring the session can be shared and downloaded to the new device between innings changes. 

This requires both teams to be using the e-scoring system. If this is not the case, the match should be scored via the paper scorebooks.

Both captains should agree to the scoring method before the start of the match, to avoid matches being half scored online and locked in PlayHQ.

Permissions

All coaches and managers will be given electronic scoring permissions.

Volunteers who are not coaches and managers can also be nominated.

Please email [email protected] with name, mobile phone number and email address if you do not have this access.
