Scoring Basics

Scoring policy is part of the sheet policy, and is edited in the Settings dialog.

Set scoring policy on the Entries sheet prior to initialising pool play or lives play. Go to Settings and then Scoring & Sheet.

Be sure to hit Save Settings.

Valid scoring formats are:

ForAg

Team play format for shots or sets game.

For

Team play format with output as shots for or sets for.

Sides

Sides play format comprising 2 or more game scores.

If Sets play specify the number of sets (minus the tiebreaker) i.e. 2,3,4, or 5. When entering scores include the tiebreaker e.g. 2–0, 2–1, 1.5–0.5 etc.

A standard win (and the corresponding standard loss) can be applied to selected pool play games to handle forfeits, byes, games not played, or rounds not played.

Specify the sheet titles (Title1 and/or Title2) if desired.

Here you can apply Settings from another Chartroom sheet by pasting in the url and hitting Apply.

Team play

Enter a score as "points for-points against" e.g. 21-14, or 14-21, or 19-19, and wait for Chartroom to score both opponents. The opponent is found by the common game number within the group.

You can also enter a secondary score if this applies e.g. 27-11,13-5, or 11-27,5-13. In bowls this would typically be an ends score.

Drawn games and matches

Chartroom will always accept a draw. In pool play a draw is worth half a win, and in lives play both opponents lose half a life.

Deleting a score

To delete a score just delete the score for 1 opponent. Chartroom will delete the other side of the game for you.

Forfeited game (i.e. default or walkover)

These occur when one opponent doesn't show up or otherwise forfeits the game to their opponent. Both opponents must exist in the chart.

Simple forfeit: Enter f as the score for the team losing by forfeit. The forfeiting team gets a loss and their opponent a win.

Scored forfeit in pool play: Enter the score followed by f, e.g. 7-14f, for a team losing by forfeit, or e.g. 14-7f for a team winning by forfeit. Ends are also possible; enter 2 scores e.g. 14-7,5-0f.

Bye in pool play

A bye in pool play can be ignored if the pool is playing a full round-robin, otherwise enter a simple bye win or a scored bye win. A bye does not have an opponent in the chart.

Simple bye win: Enter w as a score.

Scored bye win in pool play: Just enter the score, e.g. 10-0, or 10-0,5-0 to include ends.

Game not played

Enter np as a score for a pool play game that was scheduled but not played, or simply leave it blank.

Result known but score unknown

Sometimes you will know the result but not the exact score. You can enter the result w or l as a score and, in lives play, advance the section if desired. The actual score can be entered later.

Progress scores

Enter a score for an incomplete game by adding a p to the score, e.g. 12-10p.

In sets play an incomplete score like 8-4,3-7 will automatically be treated as a progress score. For lives play you can manually enter ends information in the empty cells to the right, e.g. after 20/25 ends
