What Eggbeater is for
- Spectators do not need to sign in. They can open the app and follow schedule, scores, history, roster, and tournament updates.
- Only the scorer uses scorer mode. The scorer password unlocks live scoring controls for the assigned game.
- Keep the score right first. If anything gets hectic, accurate score and game state matter more than perfect stat detail.
1
Before the game
Open the app, go to Scores, and unlock scorer mode.
- Tap Login to Score
- Enter the scorer password
- Tap Open Scorer on the correct game
- Confirm opponent, time, and cap color
- Confirm roster/player names look right
2
During the game
Use the live controls to track the game as it happens. Every tap is captured at the player level for both teams.
- Tap Sprint Won when each period begins
- Record goals (with 6-on-5 or Counter modifier when relevant), assists, steals (with Forced Ball Under), turnovers, blocks, and 5m attempts
- For exclusions, the picker offers 🚩 Kickout (counts toward 3-strike disqualification) or Common Penalty (does not count). Tick ✓ Earned if the player drew the foul rather than received it
- Use Pause Clock or the iPhone volume button if you need to stop the clock quickly
- 🕐 Clock OFF mode: If the clock adds pressure (casual / parent scorers), tap the 🕐 Clock: ON pill in the scorer header to flip OFF. Auto-clock + sprint/break/reset/timeout buttons disappear. Period bar (Q1–Q4) and all action buttons stay. Events still record by quarter and broadcast in real time. Per-device — once flipped, it sticks for every game until you flip back.
- Use the inline play-by-play under scorer controls to confirm each action recorded
- If unsure, keep the score accurate first — stat detail can be filled in after

After the game

- Set the game state to Final

- Select the correct result
- Share/send the box score if needed
- Lock scorer mode when finished
🚩 Exclusions & Player Ineligibility
Per FINA, a player with 3 personal kickouts is out for the rest of the game. The scorer enforces this automatically:
- Kickout in the Excl picker counts toward the 3-strike rule. Common Penalty does NOT.
- At 2 kickouts, the picker shows the player with an amber ⚠ 2 KO warning.
- On the 3rd kickout, a red banner pops up: "Player Ineligible — Bench Now." The player must be benched for the rest of the game.
- The picker will then show that player as BENCHED (red, strikethrough) so no one accidentally credits them with anything from the bench.
- Earned exclusions (where the player drew the foul rather than received it) are tracked separately as their own stat — they do NOT count toward the 3-strike rule.
- The BENCHED state broadcasts to every spectator's box score in real time, so parents see who has been disqualified.
Best Practices
- Score one game only. Make sure you are in the correct game before entering events.
- Pause if something looks wrong. Refresh and verify before continuing if the score, game, or roster looks off.
- Use the game-state buttons consistently. Quarter and final state changes are part of what spectators rely on.
- Do not share scorer access broadly. Keep the scorer password with designated scorers only.
Fast Troubleshooting
