Club Scorer:
Club Scorer is the course for anyone wanting scoring on a regular basis and is the only one to comprehensively teach you how to score. This course is suitable for complete beginners and existing scorers who want to improve their skills. On completion of the course, you will receive an ECB ACO Club Scorer attendance certificate.
This is a two-day course run over two consecutive Sundays, and will cover the basics of cricket scoring in a scorebook. It will cover all you need to know about the fundamentals of scoring. Attendance at both days is required.
This course is invaluable for the scorer who wants to score for their club, and as a means to progress within the Scorers Pathway, whether using a book or electronic scoring.

Electronic Scoring:
Scoring electronically has become ever more popular as a method of scoring and this workshop covers the use of Play Cricket Scorer Pro (PSC Pro®), which is a free scoring program for Microsoft Windows ® based computers, developed in conjunction with ECB ACO scorers and with direct links to the Play-Cricket League Management system
Most scoring software is intuitive to use but many of the packages (PCS Pro included) contain advanced features and customisation that may not be so obvious Whilst they are all easy to use, the most important thing to know, is how to correct things when the inevitable mistakes occur.
This one-day workshop will take you through scoring using PCS Pro from setting up a match to printing out a scorecard or a player’s wagon wheel and will give you some handy hints on how to make amendments as quickly as possible, while play continues
