COACHES: How to Report Scores


Along with our new scheduling web site, we will be reporting scores a bit differently this year.  You will now be phoning them in directly to the web site.  It is easy to do and shortly after you phone in the score, it will appear on the web site on the page where your team schedule is.

The winning coach is responsible for reporting the scores.  In the case of a tie, the home team coach should report the score.
 
Complete PHONE IT IN directions are below:

1. Dial the toll free number: 1-866-334-6294
2. When asked, say or enter the pin number, and the code of the game.  (The game codes are the # in the first left hand column on the web site page where your team schedule is, titled Game #).
3. You will then be told the division, teams playing, and field location - if this is the correct game, confirm by saying yes.
4. When asked, say or enter the score for each team, then confirm.

You can do more games in the same call, or just say goodbye when done.
 
The pin number will NOT be posted on the web site for security reasons.  If you do forget it or lose it, contact pcoleman@southorange.org.
