Check your scoreboard before the season

Check your scoreboard before the 24/25 season - PLUS some free tips...


Hi there, here's how to check your Solid scoreboard (OR, your non-Solid scoreboard).
(1.) Turn everything on,
(2.) Start scoring a mock game,
(3.) Make sure your new Sponsor Ads are running.
That's it!!
If there are any issues at all, then please call Solid (03 9708 2992) ASAP.
We are already busy, so get in quick
Note that you wont be able to test a live PlayHQ game until the 1st game starts (if you have reasons for concern, call us, we'll setup a live PlayHQ test remotely).

A very sneaky little surprise is waiting for you

Watch out for Billy and his bunch of pranksters.
Windows LOVES to download the next updates (in the background).
Then, carry out the VERY SLOW UPDATE during NON-business hours.
Hmm.. like a 
Saturday arvo.




Let your NEW scorers know Solid's "2 rules"
  1. Make sure the scoreboard is turned on as EARLY as possible.
    If there is an issue we can guide them through options (calmly).
  2. CALL US - 03 9708 2992
    New scorers might not know that Solid are taking calls on weekends. The easiest time to diagnose a problem is when it is occurring (not the following Tuesday).


Is your PlayHQ integration ready?

If you are unsure on whether your subscription is up-to-date then please contact us to confirm.
If you are planning on 
subscribing for the first time then don't leave it too late. The process is quite involved and takes a few days. FYI - these systems are locked to your specific "oval". We need to confirm these codes and then carry out live testing at our end to confirm a working subscription.
The last week before round 1 is super busy and we cannot guarantee connection for R1 if you are late.

What do the latest scoreboard controls look like?

Is your Solid system OLD? Is it time for a system upgrade?
Check out the YouTube (shown is for footy, but Simple-Cricket works similar, just different buttons).
We've been working hard to make scoring easier for you!
