Captains, players, and friends: quick reminder to keep league nights fair and running smoothly.
When you add a new player, Scorekeeper will always default them to a skill level 3. But if you know they shoot higher, please contact the league office at least one hour before your match so we can set their correct starting skill level. This protects your team and keeps matches fair for everyone.
We’re also seeing returning players from years ago popping back in with an old skill level that no longer reflects their ability. If you recognize that a player has clearly improved since their last time in the system, reach out before they play so we can adjust them appropriately.
If you’re ever stuck and can’t reach us fast enough, no problem. Score the match on paper, snap a picture, and text it to us. We’ll make sure everything gets entered correctly.
Bottom line, if a captain knowingly starts someone at an SL below their true ability - new or returning - the league office will step in and make the correction. Not to punish, but to keep the playing field fair and protect your team from penalties down the road.
We’re always here to help. When in doubt, reach out. Getting it right up front keeps everything running smoothly for you and your players. Thanks for keeping things running the right way every week. You’re the backbone of this league.
