The LiveScore App lets you capture live Match Facts for an AFL match — including goals, behinds, and other key events — so they feed directly into LIGR Live graphics, the Match Centre, and the Review Page.
Before You Start
Before scoring an AFL match, make sure the following are in place:
• The Match has been created in LIGR Live under the correct Competition
• Both Teams are assigned to the Match
• You have been given the Live Scorer role (or higher) for the Organisation
• You have the LiveScore App installed on your mobile device and are signed in
• The Match has the appropriate Data Coverage level set

Starting the Match
1. Confirm the two Teams shown are correct.
2. Tap Start Match to begin the first quarter.

Managing Periods
AFL matches are played across four quarters. Use the period controls to:
• End the current quarter

• Mark half time and full time
Each period change is recorded as a Match Fact and can be used to trigger graphics through an Automated Game Plan.
Recording Scoring Events
AFL scoring is captured through two primary Match Facts: Goals and Behinds.

1. Tap the scoring Team's panel.
2. Select Goal.

Recording Other Match Facts
Depending on the Data Coverage set for the Match, you may also be able to record additional events such as:
• Substitutions
• Period start and end
• Other tagged events used for Moments and Highlights
Tap the relevant Team or event button, then follow the prompts to select the Player and confirm.
Editing or Deleting a Match Fact
If you record an event incorrectly:
1. Open the match event list or timeline in the LiveScore App.
2. Tap the Match Fact you want to change.

Tips
• Keep your device on charge and connected to reliable internet — Match Facts sync in real time.
• Assign a dedicated Live Scorer for the match so the Gameday Operator in the Control Room can focus on overlays.
• Double-check the scoring Team before tapping Goal or Behind — it is the most common source of errors.
• Coordinate with the Control Room before making edits to past Match Facts, as corrections may trigger graphics to update on the live stream.
Common Issues
Match Facts are not appearing in the Control Room
• Check your device's internet connection.
• Confirm you opened the correct Match in the LiveScore App.
• Ask an Admin to verify your Live Scorer permissions.
The player list is empty for a Team
• Players must be added to the Team in LIGR Live before the Match starts.
• Return to the Team's asset page and add the missing Players, then reopen the Match in the LiveScore App.
The score is incorrect after editing an event
• Open the event timeline and review each Match Fact for the affected Team.
• Delete any duplicate or incorrect entries and re-enter them if needed.
I can't start the next quarter
