Sporting Scorecards

Hockey Scorecard

Overview

The Hockey Scorecard is a Pocket PC application designed to replace the referee's notepad.

Match details, including home and away team players and substitutes can be set up before the game begins.

The installation file also includes Desktop Players, a Desktop PC application that can be used to create player listings on a desktop PC (before copying to the pocket PC). During the game, using buttons and drop-down boxes, the following decisions can be easily and quickly recorded:

Goals
Bookings/Cautions
Substitutions
Penalty Corners

Hockey Scorecard monitors the time, and decisions, and notifies the referee when certain actions are required. For example, when cautioned (yellow card), players are placed in the 'sin-bin' and the Hockey Scorecard notifies the referee when the player should be released. All decisions recorded are automatically logged to a Referee's Report. All changes are automatically backed up to a backup file every minute. The most recent change can always be undone!

The match result and match details, set up before the match, are automatically inserted into the Referee's Report. The Referee's Report can be saved to Web or Word format.
