Tips
• Keep your device plugged in or fully charged — scoring a full basketball Match drains batteries quickly.
• Use a stable internet connection so Match Facts sync in real time with the Control Room.
• Assign a dedicated Live Scorer separate from the Gameday Operator running the Control Room.
• Double-check the Player selection before confirming points, especially for three-pointers.
• If your Competition uses a Data Coverage level higher than Minimum, record as many event types as possible to enrich post-match stats.
Common Issues
