Recording a match that has already been played

Create the match with the time it was actually played and Scoryboard starts it for you. But only within a day - after that it arrives finished at 0-0.

You do not have to set a match up before you play it. Create it afterwards, set the time it kicked off, and Scoryboard starts it for you.

Before you start

Record the match within a day of the final whistle. After that, Scoryboard creates it already finished, at 0-0. You cannot enter the score.

Record the match

  1. Select Create Match, then fill the details in as usual: both teams, a leaderboard, a venue, a duration and a team size.

    The match details form on a new match, with the Date field outlined among Leaderboard, Location Club, Duration, Start time, Team size and Game type.

  2. Open Date and choose the day it was played. Past days are allowed, and the arrow at the top left takes you back a month.

    The date picker open on the current month, today ringed, an earlier day outlined, and every day in the month selectable.

  3. Set Start time to the time it actually kicked off.

  4. Select Save changes. The match starts itself, and the clock is already running.

    The saved match already live: the clock counting down, outlined, and the score at 0-0.

  5. The feed says what happened, so nobody wonders who started it.

    The feed entry reading "Match was created from the past date", outlined.

  6. Enter the score and the cards the usual way, then select END MATCH at full time.

What you will see

Nothing in the app warns you. The date picker offers every day of every month, including days too old to record.

A match older than a day arrives finished. It is created, it ends itself, and it sits at 0-0 for ever.

A match created with a date more than a day old: already finished, the score at 0-0, and the notice "The match has ended and cannot be edited".

The day runs from full time, not from kick-off. A 90 minute match that kicked off 25 hours ago ended 23 and a half hours ago. You can still record it.

You do not have to enter the score in one sitting. Once the match is running you have a day before it ends itself - the countdown reads Match auto-ends in.

If it does not work

  • The match is finished before you have entered anything. It ended more than a day ago. Cancel it from the gear menu. The result cannot be recorded in Scoryboard.

  • The match will not start. Something is still missing. A match needs both teams, a leaderboard, a venue, a date, a duration and a team size.

  • The clock reads less than the full length. That is correct. It counts from the kick-off time you set.

  • You set the wrong date. Change it before the match starts. Once it is running, the date locks with everything else.
