ECB Linear Scoring Course - Essex ACO

Linear scoring is a written form of cricket scoring using a different layout to the familiar Box style scoresheet, where entries for batting and bowling are combined into the same scoresheet area, reducing the amount of entries to be made. It is used to support cricket media as the layout shows a timeline of the innings and it can also be used as a manual backup when scoring electronically.

Once mastered, linear scoring is a much quicker and easier way to score. To attend this course, you must be a competent Box style or electronic scorer already, as this session does not include any Laws of Cricket or scoring basics but takes your existing skills and transfers them to a linear style scoresheet.

During the course, you will be doing some linear scoring from a video of a game, so please bring your own pens/pencils. Linear scoresheets will be provided but if you have one of your own that you want to try out, please bring a paper copy of it with you.
