The Game Scoring Assistant feature allows for a referee or scoring assistant to check players in, enter the game score for a game, and enter infractions. The user is able to scan a QR code on the game card, enter the competition access code (if applicable), and then submit the relevant information. The game scoring assistant does not need to have a PlayMetrics account, they only need the QR code and access code (if applicable).

The article contains the following sections:

Access QR Code on a printed Game Card: Game cards for competitions with the Game Scoring Assistant enabled will include a QR code in the top right for the scoring assistant to use.

Access QR Code on Mobile: A Team Admin can access the QR code on a mobile device by going to the game details, clicking the ellipses in the top right, and then View Game Card.

Note: The Game Scoring Assistant feature cannot be accessed before the day of the game.
