Quick Start Guide for Teams

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

1. The Dashboard Website. This is where schedules are input, score sheets are accessed and where you can manage your team’s roster.
2. The 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 & League 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 register a GameSheet account to access score sheets and team management features on our Dashboard website.
   Example Team Invitation Code: HJ8nUrCV3X
2. League Access Key. The league 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 League Access Key: ipad-abcdefg

2. If your team's roster is already loaded, review the roster and make any necessary edits. You can edit the basic player / coach information displayed by clicking on it. You can edit a player's full profile by clicking the Actions button and then Extended Player Attributes.
3. If your team's roster has not been loaded, you may add players one at a time using the + New Player button, you can import your roster from a CSV/Excel file, the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR), or the USA Hockey Registry. 

View Your Team's Schedule

Your schedule may or may not be loaded yet, but it's a good idea to take a look and bookmark the page for future reference. To view your team's schedule:

View Completed Score Sheets

If you've successfully set up your GameSheet Dashboard account and have accepted the invitation for key for your team, you'll automatically receive a post game email from GameSheet that includes a summary of the game along with links to view the score sheet and the box score. If you are not receiving these emails, check your junk mail and confirm that you've accepted the correct invitation code.
