Hi Guys
Our league are starting to use the Play cricket site for adminsistration of results in 2014.
I am looking for any top tips and a forum for people to answer my questions!
First Question: On the members list some players have a * at the end of their name??
Is this because I have registered them as the administrator??
-
no, its because the people themselves have no registered as members of the site.
-
The new play-cricket site is just an unnecessary evolution of the product. Preferred the old one. Much more user friendly.

Cheers Manor
I thought that must be what it was........ The league are wanting people to register them self.
The guidance states an administrator can do this.....
Our league are not very up on IT.
-
got to be honest, I loved the old one to bits - with no IT skills whatsoever I could maintain it in an hour a week and produce something that looked professional.
The new version....I'm sure it will get better in time, but at the moment I'd say "less so"
-
The new site is a major step in the wrong direction. It looks very poor - for me it should've stayed as it was, or at least made more so like a stats only website.
-
Thanks for the Site. I had never heard of this before. Hopefully this is not limited to English cricket and is available for use here in US.
-
'fraid not!
-
Well just saw that they do have a "Non-UK" option in the list of counties and found a "Colorado Cricket League" competition listed there.
So there is hope.
-
Actually your right - as long as you're prepared to pay an ECB affiliation fee you can!

ive got to do this as well its a ball ache.
you have to make them members then add them to the cricket league u need there name address dob etc etc

Pitchero might be a decent site for you. It's free I believe and is quite similar to Play Cricket from what I've seen.

My club curently seem to have both the New Version of Play Cricket and the Old version!
When our club name is Googled, the first Play Cricket option is the new, hideous, site. And a few results down is the old, lovely, warm, cosy, stats filled, haven that we are all used to. Not sure if this is the same for all clubs, but i doubt anything specific has been done by our club to get the old site to run alongside the new one.....

depends if your league demands play cricket use AND if you want the stats to be decent. Pitchero is better for a 'selling' website but not for stats

I use Hittsports for my Clubs one. It takes almost nothing to keep running, connects directly to the clubs social media so all you have to do is input the scores and update the announcements. It also allows for availabilities for matches to be updated on the site as well as producing team sheets and emails. A bit pricey at £70 a year but its so easy to use and maintain.
-
I also looked into a site called cricHQ which has a companion app for smartphones to do the scoring. It looks very good.

Stats are being upgraded all the time and that's the only feature it beats Pitchero on, if you want your mode of dismissal in a pie chart as opposed to a bar graph. Everything else is significantly better and the new payments function is a game changer. In terms of promoting your club and making revenue from the site, Pitchero is way ahead. Even has iphone/android apps. Only thing holding it back is the lack of leagues setup on the platform, a few are and it works very well but they have been slow to embrace league sites.

And you get busted by the league if you use the club postcode and address for players!!
Who Wins the first division Simmy???? Kirkby??

We are about to use CricHQ for the first time this season in our league, its come over from New Zealand. By the sound of it they are signing up quite a few leagues this year.
