LMS Feature Announcement

FargoRate is excited to announce our newest enhancements to LMS. New scoresheet layout, support for scotch doubles matches, new help system. We think you will find the scoresheet changes make entering scores and accounting for substitute players much more straightforward, and everyone has been asking for scotch doubles support.

Scoresheet Changes

Until now, LMS has used horizontal scoresheets. These are scoresheets that are laid out left-to-right and scored as such. These work well when printed as it reduces the amount of writing on league night. They do not work well for operators when entering them into LMS. For example, adding subs is a particular pain.

We have now changed our scoresheets to a vertical layout. This new format makes building custom scoresheets effortless, entering subs a breeze and allows us to support scotch doubles matches.

Note: This change only affects newly created divisions. Existing divisions will continue to use the old scoresheet layout until the division is complete.

As we mentioned, scoresheets in LMS are now oriented vertically, and you fill them in from top to bottom. The first round of the match is at the top, with games in that round following directly beneath it. Each round contains its matches with the Home team on the left and the away team on the right. To enter a sub, set the sub's name in the game they first play, and the scoresheet will fill them in the remaining slots. If the original player comes back in, change that particular game, and the scoresheet will start using that player.

Scoresheet Builder

With the scoresheet builder, you can build scoresheet layouts that work the way your specific league works. You can have as many rounds, games, and players as you need, including scotch-doubles matches--and by simply dragging-and-dropping you can specify exactly how your scoresheet works. Refer to the following link for more information on the new scoresheet builder.
