When you log in, the first screen that comes up is the ‘Matches’ screen. The Settings icon at the top left corner gives access to match settings.
Matches screen is separated into 3 sections:
Completed: Matches whose scoring is complete and saved, but hasn’t been submitted i.e. match data not synced with ResultsVault yet.
In Progress: Matches that are partially scored, either on the current device or elsewhere. The app won't allow you to score a match that is already being scored by another user.
Upcoming: Matches that are scheduled and available for scoring in the next 48 hours.
To Clear the saved Local Data of the match on the device that you're scoring or Clear All Data and reset the match on the Play-Cricket server, swipe to the left on the match and select Abandon for access to deleting synced scoring information. |
