What Eggbeater is for

  • Spectators don’t need to sign in. They can open the app and follow the schedule, scores, history, roster and tournament updates.
  • Only the scorer needs score mode. The scoring password unlocks live-scoring controls; the board opens straight onto the live game.
  • Keep the score right first. If anything gets hectic, accurate score and game state matter more than perfect stat detail.

1Before the game

  • Open the app and go to the Scores tab.
  • Tap Login to Score.
  • Choose what you’re 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 / player names to confirm they look right.

2During the game

  • 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; Start / Stop / Reset; or flip to Clock OFF to track by period with no timer. The clock keeps perfect time even when the phone locks or backgrounds.
  • iPhone volume button starts / stops the clock hands-free — no need to look at the screen.
  • Goal → who scored → optional assist, with goal tags 6-on-5, Backhand (BH), and Counter (Counter and 6-on-5 are mutually exclusive).
  • Steals, blocks, GK saves / steals, and 5m attempts.
  • Turnovers → Shot Clock Violation, Team Dump, Inside 2m, Forced Ball Under (FBU), Opp Steal, or Other.
  • Exclusions: the picker offers Kickout (20-second, counts toward the 3-kickout ejection), Common Foul (doesn’t count), or Brutality (ejects immediately, 4-min). Record Opp Excl with Earned if your player drew the foul.
  • Use the inline play log to confirm each action recorded.

3After the game

  • Close the game cleanly so spectators see the correct final result.
  • Tap the red End Game button.
  • Confirm to end — normally the “End the game?” prompt is just a confirm. If the tournament/league admin has turned on referee sign-off (off by default, official feed only), the prompt instead adds a required ✍️ Game referee sign-off field: enter the referee’s name to finalize, 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.
Exclusions & player ineligibility
Per FINA, a player with 3 personal kickouts is out for the rest of the game. The scorer enforces this automatically: only Kickout exclusions count toward the 3-kickout rule — Common Foul does NOT. Brutality ejects a player immediately. Once ejected, the picker shows a BENCHED chip and blocks any further on-field events for them. Earned exclusions (where the player drew the foul) are tracked separately and don’t count toward the 3-kickout rule.
Best practices
Score one game only — pick Tournament / League or My Club at the start, then stay in that game. Use the inline play log to catch mistakes before you advance the quarter or end the game. Quarter end is manual — at 0:00 the app stops and waits for you to start the next phase. Don’t share scorer access broadly — keep the password with designated scorers only.

Fast troubleshooting

If it is working
You should see the correct game, the right cap colors, live-score controls, and the score updating as events are entered.
If something looks off
Refresh the app, then tap Login to Score again and re-choose what you’re scoring. Your unlocked session is remembered per device.
If something breaks
Send what you were trying to do, what happened instead, your device type, and a screenshot if possible.
