Palmcricket Frequently Asked Questions

How do I correct mistakes immediately?

One can correct immediate errors by a single tap on the left arrow, at the very bottom left of the scoring block. The left arrow works as a back-space deletion, which immediately loses the previous ball or event. This means that the event is deleted completely from the ball-by-ball record and all associated internal tables. The program does not have a re-do facility and all balls or events deleted by the left arrow must be re-scored using the standard scoring buttons.

If the error was made a while back, it's better to use the ball-by-ball edit facility to correct minor scoring errors. The left arrow works for all events: normal scoring, extras, dismissals and stoppages in play, in fact the entire match can be erased backwards, if desired.
