Guide to Inputting Scores in the DC.USSSA Scheduling System
Introduction: This tutorial from USSSA University focuses on inputting game scores into the DC.USSSA event scheduling system. This process is essential for updating the outcomes of games post-event, ensuring accurate records and standings.
Accessing the Scheduling System:
Log in to your DC account and navigate to the specific event you're managing.
Access the scheduling module of your chosen event to begin inputting scores.
Inputting Pool Play Scores:
Select the 'Scores' tab within your pool flight.
Enter the scores for each team, ensuring accuracy. The team on the left corresponds to the first score box, and the team on the right to the second.
Update the game status to reflect the outcome (e.g., with score, winner only, loser only, tie, etc.).
Important Notes:
Do not modify team names within the score input area. Use the 'Game Manager' tab for any adjustments to the game setup.
Game designations (e.g., Game 1, Game 2) correspond to specific matches in the schedule, not the chronological order of games played.
The 'Game Manager' tab also provides tools for adjusting game times and locations, as needed.
Bracket Play Scores:
Follow a similar process for bracket play, inputting scores and updating game statuses.
Some bracket formats may automatically advance teams based on input scores, while others may require manual advancement.
Adjusting Scores:
Scores can be updated or corrected by simply changing the score values and saving the changes.
Be aware that adjusting scores after setting pool-to-bracket placements may require manual updates to the bracket placements.
Utilizing Game Status Options:
Various game status options allow for detailed record-keeping, including designations for forfeits, coin toss outcomes, and games that count for only one team in standings.
Conclusion: Inputting scores accurately in the DC.USSSA scheduling system is crucial for maintaining the integrity of event standings and outcomes.
