Sue Drinkwater (ECB ACO Scorer Education Manager) will be giving a live demonstration of how to operate Duckworth Lewis Stern (DLS) within Play Cricket Scorer Professional (PCS Pro) on YouTube,

How to get see the demonstration

· You can follow along using your own copy of PCS Pro and ask questions via the chat window. If you want to join in, go to the RunsWktsOvers YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tGhlBmwYDU at 7 o’clock on Wednesday. You can just watch the presentation but if you want to follow along, please have your laptop at the ready with PCS Pro already installed.

· If you don’t yet have PCS Pro, download it free-of-charge from the Play Cricket website (http://play-cricket.com/updates3). The demonstration will start with a game that is already in progress and has been scored up to the point that it started raining. The game has been exported from PCS Pro at this point and can be downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/s/nml32bx1bori35n/20200424%20Scratchers%20v%20Notchers%20.cri?dl=0 and imported into PCS Pro as follows:-

1. Download the exported PCS Pro file (with the extension .cri) from the link above.
2. Open PCS Pro on your laptop (no need to login), click on the File menu, then on Import Match(es).
3. Click on the Browse button (top right), navigate to the folder where you stored the downloaded “.cri” file and click on OK to close the Browse window.
4. Select the downloaded in the main Import window and then click on the Import button (bottom right).
5. If asked to confirm that the match was exported from PCS Pro (ECB full version) – click on Yes.
6. When you see the Import Complete message, click on Open Match Now. The match will open with Notchers at 167/9 off 18.5 overs in the first innings of a T20 match.
7. Don’t score anything else in this match until the demonstration starts. You can close PCS Pro with the match still open and re-open it later with the match at the same point.

See you on Wednesday.
