Live scoring, without the extra noise.

• Never scored before? Tap “Practice with the scorer” on the Games tab (in the iPhone app: Try the scoring board, under Scorer tools). It opens the real board against a practice opponent, on this device only. Nothing is sent, shared or saved to a real game.
• On iPhone, first turn on Scorer tools: Settings (gear), then Clubs, then Scorer tools. A Score button then appears on live and upcoming games. You do this once, and it also switches itself on after your first accepted score.
• Open the game from Scores or Schedule, then tap Score this game.
• Choose what you are scoring: Tournament / League or My Club. Both broadcast live.
• Enter the scoring password.
• The board opens straight on the live game. Period, clock, both teams and cap colors (white / dark) are set automatically.
• Glance at the roster and player names to confirm they look right.

• Use the live controls to track the game as it happens. Every tap is captured at the player level for both teams.
• Sprint Won starts the clock when each period begins.
• Clock: tap the big clock to set an exact M:SS, use Start / Stop, and hold Reset Clock to put the period’s full time back. The clock keeps perfect time even when the phone locks or the app is in the background.
• A phone’s volume button starts and stops the clock hands-free. No need to look at the screen.
• Goal, then who scored, then an optional assist. Counter is a chip in the picker, and on the web so is Backhand; the iPhone app asks Shot type first (Regular goal, Backhand or Lob). 6-on-5 is tagged for you on a power play. Counter and 6-on-5 are mutually exclusive.
• Goalie saves live inside the opponent’s Attempt. There is no separate Save or Block button. Tap the orange Attempt, then pick Block / GK Save / Miss. A save credits whoever holds the goalie spot on the In the Water card.
• After any missed shot a Rebound? prompt asks who came up with the ball: your player, the opponent, or No rebound.
• Turnover, then Team Dump, Shot Clock Violation, Inside 2m, Forced Ball Under (FBU), Steal, Offensive Foul, or Other.
• Excl, then who, then Kickout (20 seconds, counts toward the three-exclusion ejection), Misconduct (out for the game) or Brutality (ejects immediately, 4 minutes). Common Foul is its own button in the middle row and never counts toward the three. Record Opp Excl with Earned if your player drew the foul.
• 5m, GK Steal and each team’s timeouts have their own buttons. A 5m asks who earned it, then who took it. Use the inline play log to confirm each action recorded.

• Close the game cleanly so spectators see the correct final result.
• Tied at Full Time? The board never guesses. Club games go to a Shootout: tap the SO chip, and each shootout goal adds a decimal to the tied score (4.4 to 4.3). High school boards prompt you and follow NFHS: two 3-minute overtimes, both always played, then unlimited 3-minute Sudden Victory periods that end the instant someone scores. Never a shootout. That prompt offers End as a tie where tournament rules allow it.
• Tap the red End Game button.
• Confirm to end. Normally the “End the game?” prompt is only a confirm. If the tournament or league admin has turned on referee sign-off (off by default, official feed only), the prompt adds a required Game referee sign-off field: enter the referee’s name to finalize (a second referee’s name is optional), then tap End game.
• Wait for the final save status to confirm before closing out.
• The game moves to History automatically. When sign-off is enabled, the final shows “Signed off by [referee]” for spectators.
• Exit Scorer when finished.

• Seven spots, goalie first. The In the Water card sits right on the scoring board, in the iPhone app and on the Desk. Tap a spot, then pick the player in the water. When a sub happens, tap that spot and pick the new player. Two taps per substitution.
• Real minutes played. The app crosses who is in the water with the running game clock (it accounts for exclusions), so every player gets true playing-time numbers, not a guess.
• Goalie credit follows the swap. The goalie spot drives GK save and steal attribution by name. Swap keepers mid-game and the stats credit the right player automatically.
• Team chat (GroupMe). “Send lineup” posts the current in-water seven to the team’s GroupMe, and the Play-by-play toggle on the same card broadcasts each play there. Both need GroupMe connected to the team first (a club admin sets that up). Without it, minutes and goalie credit still work fully.
• Score first, lineup second. If the game gets hectic, nothing breaks when you miss a sub. Untracked stretches simply do not accrue minutes.

• Eggbeater Desk on a Windows PC or a Mac. The adapter needs a USB serial port, so this cable runs on Windows and Mac. On an iPad, use the console bridge instead (below). Install the Desk in step 0.
• There is no clock to run. The game clock, the period, start and stop, and the shot clock all follow the console. You still tap shots, saves, turnovers, timeouts and cards on the Desk, the same as always.
• Goals and exclusions arrive as prompts. When the table enters a goal or an exclusion on the console, it appears on the Desk as a COLORADO prompt with the cap. Nothing counts twice. Nothing is ever recorded by itself. Every prompt waits for your tap.
