Before you can run a scorebug you need a ScoreCastr account. Signing up takes a username, an email address and a password. This guide covers the sign-up form, the plan page you see right after, verifying your email and what to do if something goes wrong.
Open the sign-up form
On the ScoreCastr website, click Start free or Log in at the top of the page. Both open the same sign-in page. It has two tabs:
- Login: for an account you already have.
- Register: for a new account.
Click Register.
Fill in the form
The Register tab has three fields:
- Username: the name shown at the top right of the app once you're signed in. It has to be unique, so a common name may already be taken.
- Email: the address you'll sign in with. Your verification and password reset emails go here, so use one you check.
- Password: use at least 6 characters.
Click Create account. By creating an account you agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy linked under the form.
ScoreCastr accounts use an email and password. There's no "sign in with Google" or other social sign-in.
Choose your plan
After you create the account you see "Registration successful" and land on Choose your plan. There are four cards:
| Plan | Price | Button |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Start Free |
| Starter | $10/month | Get Starter |
| Pro | $25/month | Get Pro |
| Enterprise | $50/month | Get Enterprise |
- Start Free takes you straight into the app. No card needed.
- A paid plan opens a secure checkout page. Once you've paid, you return to ScoreCastr on the Billing & Subscription page.
Not sure yet? Start on Free. You can upgrade any time, and the upgrade takes effect right away. See Free, Starter, Pro and Enterprise for what each plan adds.
Verify your email
When the account is created, ScoreCastr sends a verification email. Open it and click the link. You'll land on the Email Verification page, which says your email has been verified. Click Go to My Matches to carry on.
If the page says "Your email is not verified yet":
- Click Check Again. If you clicked the link a moment ago, it can take a few seconds to register.
- Click Resend Verification Email to get a new link.
You can sign in and use ScoreCastr before you verify. Until you do, the Manage my account page shows an Email Not Verified notice with a Resend Verification Email button and a Refresh Status button. Verify early so password resets and billing emails reach you.
Where you land
Once you're in, you're on your match list, a page called Match Management. It's empty until you create a match. From here:
- Create New Match starts a new game. Follow Create your first match.
- Your username at the top right opens the account menu: Manage my account, My Matches, My Teams, Billing & Plan and Logout.
Fix common problems
The verification email didn't arrive. Check your spam or junk folder first. Then resend it from Manage my account. You can only send one every 2 minutes, so if the button is greyed out, wait and try again.
"This username is already taken." Pick a different username. Adding your school, club or team name usually works.
The form says the email is already in use or already registered. There's already an account with that email. Use the Login tab instead. If you don't remember the password, click Forgot Password? on the Login tab. See Your account, profile and password.
The password is rejected. Use at least 6 characters.
You went to checkout but didn't finish. Nothing is charged. You can choose a plan again from the pricing page, or pick Free.
