Before you can begin scoring, you will need to configure the bout matchups (see previous guide 5)

If the bout is not the currently active bout, you'll be prompted to set it that way.

This is the main scoring view. At the top of the screen, you will see a Running Score for each wrestler. This score will update live as the bout progresses.

In the top middle, you'll see the Current Period Clock, which can be started and stopped (while a period is in progress) using the button below the time. The time can be adjusted by clicking on it.

Below the clock is the Current Bout Position. The position can be adjusted by clicking on it.

To the right and left of the clock are each team's Basic Scoring Controls. The

scoring controls are used to record basic points for either team and will activate and deactivate depending on the bout position (for instance, a takedown cannot be scored when either wrestler is in the referee's position; a near fall cannot be scored when a wrestler is in the defensive position, etc.)

Below each team's basic scoring are the team's Advanced Scoring Controls (when advanced statistics are activated for the match).These can be used to record advanced statistics in the match and also function as scoring controls when necessary (for instance, the Cut button will also insert an escape for the opponent).

Below that on each side are each team's Riding Time Clock. Riding Time clocks automatically start when a wrestler is in the offensive position and the period clock is running. To start/stop manually, click the button below the clock. To adjust the riding time, click directly on it.

In the lower middle are the Match Controls. Match/Period controls appear in the top row in light blue; match stoppages, including cautions and violations, appear in the middle two rows in white; and Editor functions appear in the bottom row in dark blue.

At the bottom is the Last Entered Action, which tracks the last event that occuring (and its time). It is also the action that will be undone by clicking the 'Undo Last' button.

When a match begins or a period has ended, the green Start Period button will appear.

Whenever a period is pending, you must click on Start Period and set the period number, type and duration to begin scoring.

Click on the green Start button below the period clock to begin the Period Clock. The Period Clock will automatically count down and will be recorded for each action that is entered.

While the clock is running, the start button will turn to a red Stop button.

To adjust the time of the period, click directly on the clock. You can click/touch the numbers to set the clock.

To record a score for a wrestler, click the wrestler's corresponding score button, such as the visitor's Takedown 3 button pictured here.

Please note that buttons will enable and disable themselves depending on the current position of the wrestlers to fit the context of the match.

To record one of the above actions, click the corresponding white button in the middle of the screen.

Each of these actions has a prompt popup that will allow you to adjust the time the action occurred, specify which wrestler was responsible and select further details.

For violations and penalties, the specified one- or two-point penalty will be awarded to the opposite team that is being penalized.

When specifying a team dual match point penalty, you will be prompted to specify the total number of points that will be deducted from the team's dual match score.

The bout's net riding time clock is displayed in the center of the screen. The Riding Time clock will automatically enable/disable depending on which wrestler is in the top position and will automatically start if a wrestler gains the top position when the period clock is running. You can manually control their start and stop with the buttons below the time.

The wrestler with the current time advantage is indicated by the color of the top 'Riding Time' heading.

To adjust the riding time, click directly on the time to bring up the popup.

Select which wrestler currently has the riding time advantage

Then, adjust the clock as necessary.

To quickly make a correction or fix an error, you can undo the last action entered into the bout. Click the 'Undo Last' button in the lower middle to reverse the last entered action (which is described below in the gray box). You'll be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the most recent entry.

If an undo affects the position of the match, the position will be automatically reset to the position before the action took place. The Period Clock will also be reset to the time of the last entered action. Important Note: Riding Time clocks are not affected by Undo Last and may need to be adjusted after undoing an action.

To adjust the wrestler's position, click directly on the position. The Change Position prompt will appear.

Select the wrestler whose choice it is or the reason for the position adjustment.

To make a position adjustment without recording an official position change, select the Correction option.

Before the 2nd and 3rd Periods, you will automatically be prompted with the Change Position popup to record the wrestler's choice of starting position and begin the period.

To end the current period, click the End Period button.

If there is time remaining in the period, you will be prompted to set the clock to 0:00.

If a wrestler currently has the advantage, you will be prompted to choose if you would like to automatically add the remaining period time to the wrestler's riding time clock.

At the beginning of the second, third and TB overtime periods, you will also be prompted to select the starting position for the period. To mark that a wrestler has deferred their choice to the next period, first select the wrestler that is choosing the position and then toggle the 'Opponent deferred choice' switch.

To select the position choice at a later time, click Cancel and click on the Current Position indicator when you are ready to make a position selection.

When available, click the Start Period button to create a new period. In the resulting popup, specify the period type, number and duration.

To intiate a Video Review, click the VidReview button and confirm that a review has started.

Select whether the review is an official review or the result of a team challenge. Then select the action that was reviewed from the drop down list.

Select the review outcome. If the review is confirmed or stands and is the result of a team challenge, you can also specify whether that team has been charged with their official review.

If an action is overturned, you will be prompted on the next screen to complete the review.

Specify the match time on resume and select any actions that need to be marked as dead time.

Once marked as dead time, actions will not be calculated in the bout score and will not appear in the official play-by-play. However you can still edit these actions and remove the deadtime flag from the action editor.

To end a match at any time, press the light blue 'End Match' button in the middle of the screen. (Note: using either wrestler's Fall button will have the same effect if recording a pinfall victory)

Note that elapsed match time is automatically calculated

If applicable, you'll be prompted to confirm the final net riding time for the bout.

To award a riding time point, select the wrestler and click 'Enter'.

To mark no riding time point in the match, click 'No Point'.

If riding time does not apply to the situation, click 'Cancel' and riding time will be skipped.

When using timing, enter the Time of the period when the end of the match occurred; total elapsed match time will be automatically calculated. If you are not using timing, you will be prompted to enter the elapsed match time. Then select the winner and the type of match decision.

For falls, you have the option of specifying the pinning combination/move that was used. If a specific move is not listed, you can type a custom move directly into the dropdown menu.

Click Enter to confirm the match end

Click on Update Records to update each wrestler's individual record (this button is only available after the match has been ended)
