Score Reporting
57
A KEY part of NCHBC is our immediate score updates to brackets. In order for this to happen coaches (or whomever they appoint)
MUST report the game scores right after the game is over.
REPORT SCORES by Text to 1 (417) 203-7447 (this is an online text number & cannot receive calls)

PLEASE you this format when Texting scores:
1. List the Gender w/ Age and Division
2. Then BRACKET Title (ex. B18u D1 Pool C)
3. Lastly, Team name w/ score vs Team name w/ score
Example: Boys 16u D2 Bronze San Juan Rams 66 vs HECHA 59
Everyday we have around 200 games playing, so the Age group, Division and Bracket title (think of it as your street address) is KEY.
It makes finding your game and recording the scores quickly possible.

As soon as your game is over:
1. Text scores
2. Clear the scoreboard
3. Set 6 minutes on the clock for the next team's warm up.
