Enter / Modify Match Results

Overview

Entering match results are done in screens that are in divided in Tabs design to mimic the layout, look and feel of the score book. Users depending on the preference of their league/ association will enter as much or as little information as is in their score book or their match card. The more information captured and entered from the score sheets the more meaningful and detail reports can be displayed. The onus is on the individuals) entering the data to ensure that they spend the small amount of time (10-20 minutes) per game required to do a proper and complete entry. In addition timely entry of the results is vital to ensure that visitors to the web site are receiving the most up to date, timely and complete information.

Under no circumstances should the captain take the card from the umpire after a game.

Validation Rules

To ensure that the data entered is correct there are several validation rules built in. Violations of some of these rules are visible right away as soon as the conditions exist. These violations are denoted with the colour Red and Yellow. Red means that the error will prevent the results from being approved by the league until it is fix. Yellow means you have an error but it will not prevent the result from being approved.

Red denotes the critical errors that compromises the integrity of the batting and bowling statistical figures, while yellow denotes the lesser but equally important stats such # of catches, partnerships etc.

The batting and bowling figures are validated against the information entered on the summary tab. Example, the number of overs on the bowling tab must equal the total on the summary tab. While catches are validated against the how out options on the bowling tab. Another example is if you have 8 wickets on the summary tab, then you must have 8 players with how out selected on the bowling tab.

There is also a final validation that will be done by the League Statistician. This feature is enabled by clicking on the validate button on the Score Summary tab Once all the violations are cleared the match details can be approved by the League Statistician.

Incomplete (Scores are still being entered by the Clubs)

Approved (Match details are approved and lock by the League Statistician)
