01 / BEFORE THE GAME
Pick up the iPad. Get the game ready.
Plan to arrive 30 minutes before puck drop so there is time for both teams to review their lineups.
2
Load the scheduled game
Select + New Game → Load from Schedule, find the correct teams and date, then select Load Game.
League games should already be scheduled. Confirm the matchup on the official CBHL schedule.
3
Review both rosters
Open Home Roster/Lineup and Visitor Roster/Lineup. Ask the away manager and head coach to review their players and statuses; have our head coach review ours.
Confirm each team’s starting goalie. Tap a player’s name or status to make an authorized correction.
4
Collect signatures and start the game
Select Sign beside each coach. Have each head coach sign with a finger or stylus, then select Save.
Resolve errors and review warnings. Missing starting goalies and coach signatures are common issues. Confirm period lengths in Game Details. On Scoring, enter the actual start time and select Start Game when the puck drops.
GameSheet says warnings should be reviewed, but they do not all need to be cleared to upload the game.
02 / DURING PLAY
Record what happens, when it happens.
Use the time displayed on the rink scoreboard. Do not convert it to elapsed time.
| Event | What to do |
|---|---|
| Shots | Use the + / − controls at the bottom for the correct team. |
| Goal | Select Add Goal, enter the scoreboard time, then choose the scorer and any assists. Leave assists blank for an unassisted goal. |
| Penalty | Select Add Penalty, then enter the scoreboard time, duration, reason, and player. Record the officials’ call. Examples include tripping, hooking, slashing, high-sticking, holding, interference, boarding, and roughing; available labels can vary by league and season. |
| Penalty class | Class is the penalty category by severity. GameSheet’s acceptable Hockey classes are Minor, Misconduct, Major, Game Misconduct, Game Ejection, Match Penalty, Gross Misconduct, and Penalty Shot. The season’s configured list determines which options appear; record the officials’ call. |
| New period | At the start of each period, select the correct period. Otherwise, new events stay under the previous period. |
| Goalie change | Select Change when a different goalie enters. |
| Wrong entry | Swipe the goal or penalty, select Delete, and confirm. Then enter the correct play. |
Optional: use the live game clock
On the Scoring page, open Settings (gear) and select Include Game Clock. Use Play/Pause to run or pause it, and tap the clock to adjust its time.
Keep the app clock aligned with the rink scoreboard. When paused, new goal and penalty entries use the current app-clock time automatically, so check the time before saving.
03 / AFTER THE BUZZER
Sign, lock, upload—then return the iPad.
Signing and locking are not the same as uploading. Finish all three steps before leaving the scorebox.
