The ECB ACO offers an Introductory level course and details are available on the ECB ACO web site.
A Standard level equivalent course, open to anyone wishing to learn more about cricket scoring, is independently run to the high standards formerly set by ACU&S. The course fee is £15 and details are available from cathy.rawson@btopenworld.com.
The two Powerpoint presentations have been prepared to give novice scorers a basic understanding of the entries to be made in the scoring record. It cannot teach all you need to know to become about cricket scoring – you will need to attend a scorer training course or access a scorer correspondence course to help you to achieve this.
Before using this presentation you should:
The first presentation records the match information in the recorded scoring record. The second presentation displays, ball by ball, the scoring record entries for the 6 overs described in the guide. If you don't have Powerpoint or Microsoft Office installed, you can download the Powerpoint viewer here.
The A3 scoring record originally designed by members of the ACU&S Scorers' Board is available. Contact cathy.rawson@btopenworld.com for more details.
Profits from the sale of the records go to maintaining the Milstead Cricket Club and ground.
