Using Scoring Tokens to Score Games​

Scoring tokens are sent to all teams and organizations at the beginning of the season.

Types of Scoring Tokens​

  • Organization scoring tokens can be used to score all games within an organization
    • A game is considered within an organization if the game's home or away team is part of the organization
    • These scoring tokens always start with an O
    • This makes it easier if you manage multiple teams and don't want to keep track of multiple team scoring tokens
  • Team scoring tokens can be used to score all games for a specific team
    • A game is for a specific team if the game's home or away team is the team
    • A team is specific to a season + division
    • These scoring tokens always start with a T

Team Scorekeepers​
