COMPUSPORT will automatically give both teams 0.5 points for tied rounds and 0.5 points for tied scores at the end of a match. You do not have to play an extra game for the round point anymore. LOTS OF TEAMS USING APP.ALREADY FINDING IT VERY USER FRIENDLY.

After you have your app launched, simply go to:

• Events: Select "Big Country Amusements".
• Divisions: Select your league (e.g., "Sundre, Drum Wed Fun, Drum Tues, Olds Tues").
• Select the match you want to play.
• Touch the scoresheet icon to launch the scoresheet.

For the Home Team:

• Fill out the scoresheet using the touchscreen on your phone by touching the blank dropdown selections.
• Averages will load automatically, so there's no need to look them up.
• After completing and accepting the scoresheet, it gets sent to all players on the visiting team.

For the Visiting Team:

• Monitor the scoresheet on the app while the home team is filling it out.
• After the home team completes the scoresheet, simply view it, confirm it's correct, and you're done!
