Can anyone recommend a software package in use or a Free download for Scoring thanks, or indeed any experiences using such a programme.

I have used Willow Scorebook since 1997. I find it very reliable & easy to use & set up. www.eddson.com/ |

see www.pitchpad.comFull licence for the laptop version (call Pavillion) was just £25 Used it a few times now - very impressive - demo version available that is restricted to just 4 overs - enough to give you the gist. |

I have been using Willow Scorebook for 8 years & I find it very user friendly. The print outs of the match are excellent.  |

Have you tried anything else apart from Willow, such as Total Cricket Scorer?
Willow was something I used before TCS came out. Whilst it seemed quite good at the time, TCS is so much better.
I mean for example on Willow if you make a mistake the process of undoing it (say if the mistake only comes to light a few balls later) is very complex, and not user friendly at all. Whereas, on TCS you can simply click the Undo button to undo the last action, or edit the Ball Data at any time during the match.
The developer of Willow gave a talk at one of the ACU&S's Seminars for Scorers, and was asked the question about mistakes and why it was so hard and complex in the programme to correct them, and he came out with the immortal line "Scorers don't make mistakes, do they?". That sort of attitude, on top of the fact that there has been no support for the programme for about 3/4 years, means I no longer use it.
If I were to recommend a programme it would be Total Cricket Scorer, although also worth looking at is the Indian programme Scorite.

Take a look at Cricket Scorer - its a mature product with plenty of features and very easy to use. The reporting capability is superb. www.cricketsoft.game-host.org |

We mostly score for school and junior club games where names need to be entered on the fly or altered, we may not be told who won the toss until after commencement, and more such unstructured situations. Please comment on how programs cater for such situations.

Another alternative is Crick Kit. It is cricket scoring software for mobile phones. It will automatically work out the statistics, both team and for the scorecard. Scoring is done innings by innings, so it won't make much difference which team starts first. There is not the option to export it by email, sms etc so it does require copying the final stats off afterwards. However it can be more convenient to use a phone than a laptop or paper at a match. As for changing team lineups, there is an option to edit the line up while creating scorecards, as long as the person has been added to the team file beforehand. Information and links to buy the cricket software is at www.crickkit.co.uk |
