The short answer

Create or verify an authorized scorekeeper, assign the correct game, and have the device open that game's browser console while online before leaving reliable Wi-Fi. Confirm the ready or synced state, then reconnect after the game and verify every queued event before finalizing.

Before you start

An authorized scorekeeper account in the same organization.
A scheduled game and scoring assignment or authorized link.
A supported phone or tablet browser.
A brief period of reliable internet before and after the game.

Step-by-step instructions

Verify the account

Confirm the user belongs to the active organization and has the required scorekeeper or administrator role.

Assign the game

Open the intended game and confirm the scorekeeper can reach its console. Do not share a console for a different game.

Load while online

On the device that will be used, open the game console once while connected and wait for its ready or synced indication.

Run a short rehearsal

Enter and remove a test event before game day when policy allows, or use a practice game, so the scorekeeper understands periods, corrections, and finalization.

Score without closing the page

During an outage, keep the console open and avoid clearing browser storage. Watch the local sync state rather than assuming an event reached the server.

Reconnect and reconcile

Restore connectivity, wait for queued events to sync, compare totals with the official sheet, and only then mark the game Final.

What success looks like

The scorekeeper can capture game events through the browser workflow during intermittent connectivity and validate synchronization before finalization.

Common errors and fixes

Access is denied

Check the user's organization, role, game assignment, and the exact authorized link before game time.

The console was never loaded

Move to a connection and open the correct game; offline readiness cannot be established after the device has no cached game context.

Events remain queued

Keep the page open on a stable connection, wait for sync, and compare against the paper record before entering duplicates.
