From your cell phone, you can simply text the Key Word, score, cbs, rugby to 32852.

From a PC go to the web site - www.looseheadsoft.com and click on the Download button for the application you're looking for: MobileScore, CBS College Sports, USA Rugby, etc... Enter your cell phone number in the space provide and click the 'Send a link to my phone' button.

In both cases, the application will be sent to your phone - follow the instruction on your phone to finish.

For Verizon users, other carriers and iPhone users, use your mobile browser to connect to www.mobilescore.net/mw and click on Create a New Account. Fill in the blanks and then click Create Account.

The Account Manager is accessed through the www.looseheadsoft.com web site and is the place for the Event Owner to set up and manage her events. The Event Owner is the account that established the event.

In MobileScore, an Event is the key building block. It is as small as a single game or match and can be as large as 64 team league. An Event is the place holder for everything and events can be nested; as an example:

From the Web Site you can:

• Add Events
• Add Teams
• Add Venues
• Add Additional Scorekeepers
• Create & Edit Rosters
• Upload profile photos for players
• Create Team & League Schedules
• Create Tournaments
• Edit Scoring and Commentary
• Upload game photos for distribution on web & Mobiles

Open the Account Manager - and Log In to Owner Account

Add ALL of the Venues you may play at (note: its better to have an extra Venue in the Pull Down Menu and not use it than find that you need to go back to add one)

Add ALL of the Teams you may play (note: in a league you'll most likely play every team, but in a tournament, you may not play every team... better to have them all in an not use one or two than having to add them later)

Add the Event - This could be ASA Metro Championship

Click the ASA Metro Championship

Click Click Here to Add a Match - keep adding matches until the schedule is complete.

TIP - When entering a tournament, it's a good practice to enter all the games you MAY be playing in, even if you don't know who the opponent will be... this saves the scorekeeper time at the field between games.

YES - Click on the Game/Match

The Tabs across the top of the Game/Match enable to do a number of things:

• Update Match
• Update Match Notes
• Update Photos
• Add Photos
• Add/Update Team Stats
• Add/Update Player Stats
• Delete Match

Update Match allow the edit of basic game/match information. You can change any item on the screen and then Click Submit.

A box will appear indicating the match has been updated.

Match Notes are the individual scoring updates created by the scorekeeper.

This tool is provided to enable corrections to game scores and commentary.

Using Add Photos is a way to publish photos from the game to fans on their PCs, Cell Phones, BlackBerries etc... This is only accomplished from a PC using the Account Manager, however LooseHead staff has been able to score a game on the field and take photos and then at half time or immediately following the game, upload photos so fans get action shots... almost like being there.

First upload photos from the camera to the PC

• Click Add Photos - a window opens with spots for Image 1 - 5 and description of each
• Click Browse - Another window opens that lets you find the photos on PC
• Double Click the photo and its placed on the image line
• Enter Description
• Repeat for next photo - 5 photos can be upload at one time
• Click Upload Photo
• When finished, collapse the window by clicking box in upper right corner

TIP - Find and edit the photos you want to upload prior to entering the Add Photo tab and then simply double click the pre-selected photos. You can view thumbnails while Adding Photos, we've just found it quicker to do outside of the Account Manger.

TIP - Upload the photos to the PC as quickly as possible, label the folder something like Game 1 - 1st Half , select/edit photos and start the upload. Now you can erase the photos on your camera, start taking 2nd half photos and scorekeeping as the game proceeds. Fans will have 1st half scores and commentary, 1st half photos (as soon as uploaded) and the beginning of 2nd half scoring... very cool for those that can't make the game and you're a hero.

YES - Click on the Game/Match

Above the Game/Match is a series of Tabs...

Click Delete Match

Click DELETE? ARE YOU SURE?

Click Are you REALLY sure?

The Match will be deleted...

Scorekeeping is pretty straight forward and after entering just a couple of scores, you"ll be an expert! MobileScore is laid out so you"ll go click by click putting the information in:

• Stage in the game - 1st inning, 2nd half, half time, over time, extra innings or Final,
• The Team that scored or that the comment is about - yes, you can include great plays and added commentary,
• Player that made the score or great play (the roster can be load from a PC or from the Mobile),
• "Canned" comments so you don"t have to type every detail,
• The actual score; and
• Final edit before you submit" just in case you want to change something.

The Score Keeping process is like this:

Enter BASIC Update is very similar, there are fewer choices and the roster is not presented" a very quick method to update the score or make a quick comment.

First, get to the game you are going to score as outlined above. At Current Match Summary screen, scroll to Edit Roster and click.

Click on the team you want to update. If no names appear, it indicates that a roster has not been entered. Click on Menu (this may vary from mobile to mobile) and then click on Add Player. You can enter Number, Position and Name.

TIP - depending on the sport, it is sometimes better to simply enter Number and Player as position may change" the roster is meant to reduce typing AND give players recognition.

To edit a player, click on the player, change the information and then Click OK - you may fine OK in the menu or at the lower corners of the screen depending on the mobile device.

Tip - once you"ve made your changes, its best Exit the game you are scoring and then re-enter the game. This allows the changes you"ve made to be re-sent to your mobile. Good things like sorting and making the changes available to everyone in the system result from doing this. Note: Your changes are saved whether you Exit and Re-Enter or not, this just makes it a little easier for you.

To Exit, use your Back key until you are out of the game, you don"t have to exit the application completely. Then Click the game you"re scoring and the exchange between the server and your mobile will be complete.

Tip - One last tip, it is easier to enter Rosters from the PC using the Account Manager - see Account Manager in FAQs.

If you make a mistake, you can use the Enter BASIC Update to change the score or change the player mentioned earlier. This will not erase the mistake, but will bring everyone current. No Big Deal.

Additionally, from the Account Manger edits, removal, additions can me made, but this is done from a PC on the internet and generally will need to be done after the contest has ended.

MobileScore is an interactive platform that enables the exchange and "broadcasting" of events to small groups of people or to the entire world. Information like scores, rosters, line-ups, statistics, commentary, photos, video, trivia games, blogs are all available for individuals, teams, leagues or entire organizations.

MobileScore is the convergence of information available from any device having data connectivity. A member can access information from their cell phone, pda, smartphone or computer wherever connectivity exists.

A scorekeeper, a person attending the game or match, enters scores and commentary on their cell phone (note: if wi-fi is available, a PC can also be used, however the cell phone provides virtually unlimited coverage.) The scorekeeping entry takes approximately 15 - 30 seconds and can be as terse or verbose as desired.

The fan simple opens MobileScore on the cell phone or PC and follows the action.

PCs can access scoring information by pointing the browser to http://www.looseheadsoft.com or very often the team, league, or organization will have a MobileScore Score Board on its own web site.

From a cell phone, pda, Blackberry, etc., a mobile version can also be viewed by pointing the cell device's browser to http://www.mobilescore.net/mw

Please be advised that some MobileScore partners may use a specific url for both mobile and non-mobile web pages. Check with your specific organization or visit www.looseheadsoft.com for partner information.

The MobileScore Application is a small, efficient program that keeps you up to date on your chosen teams, events, leagues, etc. You simply open the application and your stored settings log you in and retrieve all the information you want to see. You never miss the action wherever you find yourself.

From http://www.looseheadsoft.com simply click on the Download button below the application. Instructions tell you to Text "score" to 32852 (other key words may apply to Partners) or enter your mobile number and then click Send a link to my phone.

Current phones from AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are supported; as well as current Blackberrys - phones must have a data plan from the carrier. Verizon, iPhone and other carrier users can access MobileScore using the device's browser http://www.mobilescore.net/mw or a Partner's mobile web pages. Data plans are required.

Scorekeeping is easy and fast. The scorekeeper must have the MobileScore Application or access to http://www.mobilescore.net/mw. The scorekeeper must also be authorized to keep score (this avoids unauthorized score or commentary entries) authorization is done through the account manager on http://www.looseheadsoft.com .

After just a couple of score entries, score keeping will take only 15 seconds or so. You simply click on the stage i.e. 1st Qtr, 2nd inning, 2nd period etc., click the team that scored, select the player (if roster has been entered), select a "canned" comment, verify the score, and then one last chance to verify score and change or add any comments... Submit - you're done.

How to authorize score keepers

That's completely up to the scorekeeper. She can enter every significant play, enter each score, enter the score at the end of stage i.e. 3rd inning, 1st Qtr etc. or simply enter the final score.

You will find that your excitement comes from relating the action to all the people in your community, family, or team that can't make the game. You are now part of the team, part of the action. Scorekeeping is a gift that you provide.

If mobile service is intermittent, MobileScore continues to work; scores are stored on the phone until service is resumed. Once connected your information is submitted... you're current!

PASSION, PASSION, PASSION

Additionally you'll need a mobile device and data connectivity.

Not to worry... MobileScore allows you provide as much or as little coverage as you desire. From play-by-play to just the final score.

If you find that the score has jumped, simply enter the current score and go on from there.

If you didn't give props for a big play or monster score, you can later login to www.looseheadsoft.com and add, update or delete information for that game.

The more the merrier. It's great for redundancy and for providing another point of view. Like having two announcers in the press box - they never see things the same way.

MobileScore is an enabling platform, limited only by what we have time to do...
