2026 PRE-SEASON BRIEFINGS
PCS Pro Update: Make sure you have the latest version of PCS Pro installed. The latest version is v9.11.0.
Laptop Ready: Due to Windows updates, PCS Pro will no longer be supported on Windows 10 laptops. Laptops used to score will need to either be updated or new ones purchased which have Windows 11 (not S mode) and recommended with at least 4GB RAM. (non-live streaming matches)
Safeguarding: DBS is still not required for scorers at club level but all scorers over the age of 18 are reminded to complete the Safeguarding Level 2 (SGL2) online training via the e-learning hub at https://booking.ecb.co.uk/event/05db6e4c-ed4c-4ff6-9ec1-f8768bf312cb/regProcessStep1 Club safeguarding officers will need to know about their completion.
Join the YPLN Scorers Association: This is a free resource for all YPLN scorers. Joining allows the league to provide you with updates as necessary, such as league rule changes, ECB law changes and scoring opportunities. It also gives access to the WhatsApp Group that the league runs for scorers which is a great place to ask questions and get information: https://www.yplncricket.co.uk/umpires-scorers/scorers-association/
