Quick Start Guide for Teams

The GameSheet digital scoring system replaces traditional paper score sheets and has two primary components:

1. Team App This is where managers and coaches populate their roster, view stats & standings, and manage their games, practices and events.
2. iPad Scoring App This is the digital version of the paper score sheet. Games are scored using this app and are uploaded to the Dashboard website where they can be viewed.

Team Invitation Codes & Scoring Access Key

Your league contact / administrator should have provided you with two different codes / keys:

1. Team Invitation Code: The team invitation code is used to link your GameSheet account with your team. It is also required to create a new account.

   Example Team Invitation Code: HJ8nUrCV3X

2. Scoring Access Key: The scoring access key is used to sign in to the iPad Scoring app which is used exclusively to score games. Everyone in your league will have the same key.

   Example Scoring Access Key: ipad-abcdefg

If you don't already have a Team account, create a new account by following these steps:

1. Go to https://teams.gamesheet.app and click "Sign Up"
2. Paste in your team's Invitation Code, verify that you have the right team, and click "Continue."

1. Click on the roster tab of the Team Dashboard
2. If your team's roster is already loaded, review the roster and make any necessary edits. You can edit a player / coach profile by clicking on the player / coach .
3. If your team's roster has not been loaded, you may add players several different ways using the "Actions" button. You can import your roster from a CSV/Excel file, the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR), or the USA Hockey Registry or add players / coaches one at a time.
