## Using Player Scoring

Players who Scan in or Pre-register will get alerts during the course of the tournament. Those alerts are on the bell icon on the main page of the app. When a player clicks on the alert there will be a prompt asking if they would like to score the match.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Only players on the court will have access to score the game. Once the game has been submitted they no longer have access to that court.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Players: Make sure your player profile email is verified. Go here to learn how: [Verify your email](/player-profile/account-setup.md)
