Scoring How-To Guides

Select your season from the GameSheet app by using your league’s season code. You may have to logout of a previous season.

Your game should appear within the season. If not, click “+ New Game” to select a game. Select “Load from schedule” to find a scheduled game. If your game does not appear in the schedule, check you are in the correct season. If you are in the correct season, reach out to scoring@coloradohockey.org to get the game added ASAP! 

Select your game and click "Load Game."

BEFORE scoring your game (generally during warmup), have the head coach of both teams verify their starting lineup, and sign the game sheet. Make sure a starting goalie is selected, and that players who are sitting out are marked as sitting out. This is especially important for high school games, which carry more than 20 players on the roster.

Note: 10U+ games must have a coach's signature for the 25/26 season.

After coaches have signed and rosters are set, click "Scoring" on the left hand rail. 

Game details:

Verify the period length and game details are correct. The period length is defaulted by the league settings, if your period length is incorrect, you can click to change and select the correct time.

Select the time the game has started. Once you click "Start Game" you should see a green light at the top of the screen which indicates the game is now being live scored.

Click the wheel in the upper-right hand corner to select the game clock. This will enable people watching at home to know where the game is. It will also auto-populate the time for goals and penalties! Remember to pause the clock at whistles.

When a team scores, click "+Add Goal." If you have the game clock added, and remembered to pause, the time the goal was scored will be automatically added. If not, add the time scored. Select the player who scored the goal. Another screen will pop up for assists. If unassisted, just tap outside of the menu to close it.

If you add a goal by mistake, simply press and swipe left to remove.

Remember to count shots on your goalies! When a team takes a shot, click the yellow "+" on that team's side to count shots.

When a penalty occurs, click "+ Add Penalty." If you have the game clock added, and remembered to pause, the time the penalty occurred will be automatically added. If not, add the time.

Select the time of the penalty, 2, 5, or 10 minutes.

Select the penalty. If it's a checking penalty, it's quickest to type "check" into the search box to see all of the checking penalties available. Pay attention to "Minor," "Major" or "Match." Select the correct penalty.

Select the player who had the penalty, and the player serving the penalty. Generally this is one in the same.

If you add a penalty by mistake, simply select the penalty and swipe left to delete.

At the end of the game select "End Game" from the upper-right corner. Select the time the game ended.

Flag a referee over and have them select "+ Add Referee." The ref should be able to search for their name, and add themselves to the game.

If a ref has not been added to the season, they may have to enter their information in. They will need their first and last name, and their referee #.

The referee will then verify the penalties and final score, sign the iPad and click "Save."

Some referees may add a game note.

Once the referee has verified game details, they will either click "Lock & Upload" or ask you to do so. Click "Lock & Upload" and wait for the "Upload Succeeded" screen.

Note: Games exist solely on the iPad on which they are being scored. If you do not receive the "Upload Succeeded" screen, the game cannot be accessed via the backend.
