Scoring with PlayHQ E-Score

To live score you need to use the PlayHQ interface. This is a web-based product that is similar in use to the MyCricket Live Score app. The advantage of using PlayHQ is that you can use a browser with any device when you have an internet connection. To score you do need to have administrative access with your PlayHQ account and to get that you need to contact the club to either be given the appropriate login for PlayHQ for your grade or competition, or have your personal account assigned the ability to use PlayHQ to score.

If you ever have any enquiries about the use of PlayHQ E-Score when scoring for CHICC please contact the club or webmaster@chicc.net.

How to update score card after match completion without E-Scoring ?

You can edit a match after you have finished with E-Scoring or after a match has been completed where E-Scoring was not used. You can do this by accessing PlayHQ with your team’s designated scoring log in. The details of the email address and associated password are found on the front of your team’s score book.

The quick breakdown is:

Log into https://www.playhq.com using the scorer’s log in.
Select ‘My Account’.
Select ‘My Teams’.
Click on team you wish to edit.
Go to the match you wish to edit. You can put a team list in for a future match or edit a match that has been completed in the past 5 days.
If you need to edit a match that is either older than five days ago or the system is simply not letting you, please contact the club (webmaster@chicc.net) to get access to your desired match.

How to use the PlayHQ scoring system to score ?

The PlayHQ E-Scoring system is similar to MyCricket Live Score so if you have used that before you should find the transition relatively easy. The main things are that when you log in with your administrative email and password, you need to create a session that allows you to lock the scoring of a match to your login. Once you are finished with scoring you need to unlock that session from the match. This also means that if for some reason the person who is scoring a match becomes unavailable and the scoring needs to switch devices, the current live session needs to be logged out of before the new session on the other device can become active.

There are quite a few online sources that explain how to use the PlayHQ E-Scoring system. Since PlayHQ E-Score is used by various sports, most of the general documentation mentions ‘court’ but that should be translated to ‘ground’. Some of the documents that you may find useful are:
