How to add matches and assign scorers on a computer
After this guide, your tournament has its matches, and each match has a scorer.
Who can do this
The tournament owner or a Manager. Only the person who created a match can invite its scorer.
Before you start
A tournament with at least 2 teams. See How to create and set up a tournament.
Your scorer has a CricoScore account and the app on an Android phone.
Part 1: Schedule a match
On the My Cricket page, click your tournament. Example: "Demo Cup 2026".
Click the Fixtures tab.
Choose Team A and Team B. Example: "Shorisa XI" and "Meghna Riders".
Choose the Date. You can also add a Time, a Venue and a Match title.
Check Overs. It comes from your tournament settings.
Leave the switch on Public so fans can see the match.
Part 2: Assign a scorer
The Assign scorer box opens by itself after step 8. For an older match, click the ⋮ button on its row. Then click Assign scorer.
Type the scorer's name, @username, email or phone number.
Click Done.
Ask the scorer to accept the invite in the CricoScore app. The status changes to Accepted.
