Overview
When a team hands in a paper card, you can skip the typing. The scanner reads each row, matches it to a team, and fills in the scores for you to check.
Who this is for
Organizers and staff with Scramble AI turned on. If you don't use Scramble AI, enter paper scores with Enter a team score by hand on the Scoreboard.
Scan a card

Tips
- Write clearly in the boxes and avoid crossing out. Neat cards read best.
- If a row is hard to read, type that team's score by hand instead.
