ScoreCric user guide

Account and sign-in

Sign up with email and password, or use Google. You need to be signed in to host tournaments, save matches to your account, and use live sharing.

If you are asked to verify your email, complete that step so every feature stays available to you.

Your KraftedLogic UserId

Sometimes a tournament host needs your account ID — for example to add you as a tournament co-admin, or when staff assign scoring duties. Open your profile menu (avatar or name, top right) and tap Copy next to Your KraftedLogic UserId, then send that text to the host. This is not the same as your cricket player ID (the short name used on scorecards and stats).

Dashboard

After you sign in, open Dashboard from the user menu. You will see summary counts and tabs for:

• Quick matches — one-off games you started.
• My tournaments — tournaments you host (and similar).
• Team admin — tournaments where you are a team admin.
• My stats — your cricket profile, batting and bowling summaries, and recent games.

Lists update as things change, so you often do not need to refresh the page.

Quick match

A quick match is a single game: set up teams and players, choose format and overs, then score ball by ball. Use it for friendlies without running a full tournament.

Starting and resuming

• From the home screen or dashboard, tap Quick match.
• Finish team setup; you can pick up an in-progress setup from its card on the dashboard.
• When a match is live or finished, the card may show Open, View, Lock result, or Abandon, depending on the situation.

Tournaments

New tournament walks you through name, format, overs, structure (for example league only, or league plus finals), and squads. As host, you can change settings later where the app allows.

Spectator link (tournaments)

The host copies a spectator link from the tournament screen (it includes ?room= in the address). Fans open that link, or use Join as spectator and paste the same link. The short code in the URL is still what the app uses behind the scenes to find the event — you do not need a separate “code” box on the host’s share card.

Player registration link (not the same as spectators)

To build squads from people who want to play, the host shares a registration link (from the Teams tab and in the post-create summary). That flow collects interested players into the tournament pool. The spectator link is for watching only — it does not replace registration for people who want to be in a team.

Matches

Fixtures appear on the tournament screen. When you are ready, tap Start match: you will set the toss, optional playing XIs, openers, and bowler — then you move into scoring for that game.

Points and standings

Points (wins, ties, net run rate, head-to-head, and so on) follow what the host chose in tournament settings. Check those settings if you need the exact rules for your competition.

Team admins

The tournament host can name team admins for a side. They are not the same as staff who run the whole app — they help their own team and can score when it is their team’s match and the rules allow it. Use the Team admin tab on the dashboard to see tournaments where you have that role.

Co-admins

The host can add tournament co-admins in Settings. The host enters each person’s KraftedLogic UserId (that person copies it from their profile menu and sends it — see Account and sign-in). Co-admins can help with fixtures, squads, and scoring like the host, but cannot remove the host or delete the tournament.

Scoring and match flow

The scoring screen is where you record balls, extras, wickets, and substitutions. In short:

• Innings — who is batting and bowling, the current over, batters, and bowler.
• Undo — when supported, you can step back the last ball. Quick matches may keep a short history so you can recover if needed.
• Match officials — you can record scorers and umpires for the match.
• Match rules for this game — in tournaments, things like overs and wide/no-ball options are set when the match starts so a half-finished game is not affected if the host changes defaults later.

When the result is final, use Lock result so the scorecard is not changed by mistake. If something must be reopened, the tournament host (or support, if your league uses it) can unlock it when that option exists.

Sharing and spectators

In scoring, open Share to get a spectator link (and a short code that appears in the URL as ?watch=…). People with the link can watch the live score in read-only mode while you keep scoring. While you are hosting with sharing on, the header may show simple viewer counts (watching now and total opens) — useful feedback that fans are connected.

• Links usually include something like ?watch=CODE at the end of the address.
• Quick match / shared link: open the spectator link in any browser. If the visitor is not logged in, ScoreCric signs them in as a guest viewer (anonymous Firebase Auth), same idea as KL Auction, so live viewer counts work without creating an account. Guests can still sign in later from the header if they want.
• Tournament — follow the event: open the spectator link your host shares, or use Join as spectator and paste that link (or type the short code if you only have that). That opens the spectator dashboard (fixtures, progress). If you are not logged in, the app signs you in as a guest viewer (anonymous auth), same as quick-match spectator links.
• Tournament — one match only: if the host shares a deep link that includes the room code and a match id (URL form like ?room=XXXX&match=MATCHID), you land on that match’s live scorecard in read-only mode. That is separate from the quick-match ?watch= link.

Profile and player identity

Your account can link to a cricket player profile used for your stats and name across matches. Use My stats or Claim past stats in the user menu to set that up or connect an existing profile.

When you add players in quick match, search may suggest people you have used recently or public profiles so you pick the right name faster.

Deleting matches and tournaments

Quick match: on the dashboard, use the delete action on the match card and confirm. That removes the game from your list and clears its scoring data and live share for that match.

Tournament: open the tournament and use Delete tournament when you are the host. That removes the whole event and related scoring and share data for its matches.
