To enable DLS, update the Over Limit, and select the DLS toggle which will automatically update the target score to a score calculated by Duckworth-Lewis-Stern V4.0.
If you want to enter your own target, you can revert to the custom toggle.
The new target score will be displayed on the eScoring application. It also will also provide a real-time indication of which team is winning the match. This is referred to as the par score.
To end a game early, select Actions and then End Innings. If you are have toggled DLS on, it will calculate the game outcome based on DLS methodology, if you have not yet toggled it on, select Actions and Parameters and update the toggle to DLS, otherwise it will use the existing target.
