The LiveScore App lets you capture live Match Facts for cricket matches, feeding real-time data into LIGR Live so your overlays, scorebug, and Match Centre stay up to date throughout the innings.

Recording Match Facts Ball by Ball
Each ball is recorded as a Match Fact. Use the main scoring screen to log what happened.

2. The score, over count, and strike rotation will update automatically.

• Wide
• No ball
• Bye
• Leg bye
If runs are scored in addition to the extra, enter the run value when prompted.
Wickets

Boundaries
Boundaries are recorded automatically when you tap 4 or 6. These Match Facts can trigger boundary graphics via your Automated Game Plan.
Managing Overs and Bowlers
At the end of each over, the LiveScore App will prompt you to:
1. Confirm the over is complete.
2. Select the next bowler from the bowling Team.
3. Strike will rotate automatically.
Handling End of Innings
When an innings ends (all out, overs complete, or declared):
1. Tap the menu and select End Innings.
2. Confirm the final score.
3. Set up the second innings by selecting the new batting side, opening batters, and opening bowler.
Correcting Mistakes
If you tap the wrong button, use the Undo option to remove the last Match Fact. You can also edit earlier events from the Match timeline within the app.

Tips
• Keep your device plugged in or fully charged — scoring a full cricket match takes time.
• Use a stable internet connection. Match Facts sync to LIGR Live in real time, which drives your Scorebug and other graphics.
• Double-check the opening batters and bowler before the first ball to avoid timeline corrections later.
• Coordinate with the Gameday Operator in the Control Room so they know when big moments (wickets, boundaries, milestones) are coming.
• If your Match uses an Automated Game Plan, recorded Match Facts will trigger graphics automatically — so accuracy matters.
Common Issues
Match not appearing in the app Check that the Match has been created in LIGR Live, that it is scheduled for today, and that your account has Live Scorer access to the Organisation.
Match Facts not updating the Scorebug Confirm your device has internet connectivity. If a graphic does not play as expected, check with the operator that the Automated Game Plan includes triggers for that event type.
Wrong batter on strike Use the strike-swap option on the scoring screen to correct it before the next ball.
Accidentally ended the innings Contact your Admin or Gameday Operator — they can help correct the Match state from LIGR Live.
