One of the most common support questions we receive is that aspects of PlayHQ aren't operating like it should. With PlayHQ system updates happening regularly, combined with cached browser history (preloaded versions of websites you've visited), this is often the root of the issue.

Fortunately, the solution to this common question is quite easy to action. Simply refresh the browser and clear your cache. The below will guide you on how to do just that with each of PlayHQ's supported browsers.

It is correct that there can only be one live scorer. This is intentional to ensure that there is only a single primary version of the game available to watch online removing any confusion of there being multiple versions of the same game.

This is similar to what you would normally see when consuming live scoring of many sports online. There is the ability to score on a second device, but that device should not be connected to the internet.

Alternatively if there is an issue with the device, there is also the ability to take over a game from a new device and continue scoring where the first user left off.

The Primary Scorer is the main scorer of the game. This can be online or offline. When online, the Primary scorer updates the PlayHQ Public website - www.playhq.com.

This will update LIVE as the game as long as their is internet connection. As the secondary scorer, you can now score the game, however NO EVENTS WILL SYNC BACK TO PLAYHQ.COM.

The purpose of the secondary scorer is to give support to another scorer, and to hold a copy of the scorecard, to ensure if any device issues occur on the Primary device, the data from the game can be manually uploaded using the information gathered on the Secondary device. 

There are instances at games when the device that is used to score a game becomes unavailable due to low battery, software updates or other unexpected reasons. In these instances the scorer may wish to continue scoring the game from a separate device, without losing any data.

Before switching devices, the scorer should ensure that the original device is connected to the internet by checking their device wifi or 4G symbols and checking scores are syncing to playhq.com. This will mean that no data will be lost when switching. The scores on the new scoring device will be from when the device was last connected to the internet.

IMPORTANT -  When a device takes over as primary scorer, the scorecard is synched to the LAST LIVE EVENT RECORDED BY THE ORIGINAL DEVICE.

Ensure when taking over as Primary you are aware of when the game was last LIVE. If connection has dropped off whilst the game has been progressing unbeknown to the scorers, the suggested action is to continue to score as a secondary scorer, take pictures/screenshots of all the scorecards before submission of the game. The scorecards can then be manually uploaded by your club administrator. 

There is no scoring app for PlayHQ. Scoring is completed through your browser. This means that the experience for the scorer is the same if they are on a phone, tablet or computer.

You can add a shortcut to your home screen for easy access to each of the PlayHQ portals.

You can select multiple Wicketkeepers when selecting the line-up. Every person who has been selected as a wicketkeeper will show with (wk) next to their name on the scorecard.

Scoring does not require an internet connection. You can download the game when you have a connection and then score it offline. Then when you reconnect to the internet it will upload into PlayHQ.

E-scoring access is given to a scorer - this is can be specific to the club or association. It enables any scoring to be completed of any games within the specific club or association. 

Yes it can be transferred. There are instances at games when the device that is used to score a game becomes unavailable due to low battery, software updates or other unexpected reasons.

In these instances the scorer may wish to continue scoring the game from a separate device without losing any data. To do this, the scorer needs to ensure that the current device is connected to the internet and is being live scored (LIVE icon will appear in the top right corner). This means the new device will continue the scoring from the last point the original device was connected to the internet.

From there, log in to the Electronic Scoring portal with the new device and navigate to the correct game. Select Download & Score Game. This will enable you to resume scoring on the new device.

'Friendly' / 'Pre-season' games can be quickly set up in PlayHQ. Once set up, these games can be scored using electronic scoring, and game outcomes and statistics recorded.

Games can also be scored in a way that statistics are not loaded against a players profile. Associations and NZC can assist with this.

After the match has been finalised a Fill-In player can be removed from the team and replaced with a registered player, your club or association admins can make this swap to correct the scorecard.

However, the statistics for the registered player will need to be updated in the game as they won’t automatically populate.

Support can be found for adding a 'Fill In' player when E-scoring at the button below.

Administrators can ammend the scorecards and change 'Fill In' players to players with profiles, as long as they are correctly registered and allocated to the team, even if this is after the game. Support is available for administrators with this in the FAQ Administrators section.

At the end of each over the bowler for the following over needs to be selected.
