These notes are specifically for Minor Counties scorers, but may well be useful for others.

They are not intended to be a TCS Manual but are to help those using the TCS/Play-Cricket interface.  Please feel free to comment if you think there are any omissions or errors.

Hi David

If you open my lead message in this topic, you'll be able to download the file from there.

If anyone is unable to open the document, because it's in the latest version of Word, please let me know and I'll try and save a backward compatible copy.

Thanks - will be a great help. Do you know which iPads and versions of iOS are compatible with TCS? John

Just bumping to keep at the top.  Does anyone know whether it's possible to post 'sticky' notes?

Chris,

Unfortunately, only the group administrator can do that, whoever they are - how do you find that out?
Of all the topics, this one ought to be a sticky note.

Your document was to good not to have it pinned. Will be looking to add to your document if you don't mind?

As part of the OSP project I have written a .NET class library (DLL) which connects to the ECB Play-Cricket API for downloading matches, players, uploading results etc and putting the data into a logical (non P-C!) format.
It also reads TCS import files and creates export files to be read by TCS. If anyone would like to use it please let me know.

Richard


It has the following methods:
P-C
GetAuthSites - gets a list of sites for which your login is authorised
GetFixtures  - gets a list of fixtures for the current season
GetHowOut - gets the P-C view of dismissals (Handled the ball still valid!)
GetTeams - gets a list of teams for a particular site
GetMatches - gets a list of matches between two dates
GetClubPlayers - gets a list of players for a particular club/site
GetClubs - gets a list of club sites
GetFixture - gets the full details of a fixture
GetMatch - gets the full details of a match in progress (current score etc)
PutMatch - uploads a match to P-C

TCS
GetMatches - gets a list of matches from the TCS database
CreateMatch - creates a match in the TCS database
GetClubs - gets a list of clubs from the TCS database
GetTeams - gets a list of teams for a club in the database.
GetGrounds - list of grounds
CreateMatchTeam
CreateInnings
CreateMatchPlayer
CreateMatch
CreateClub
GetMatchType
CreatePlayer
CreateGround
GetPlayers
GetCompetition
GetMatchTypes
GetInnings
GetCurrentMatch

TCS ImpEx
CreateMatchXML - creates a TCS import file from a Play-Cricket fixture
ReadMatchXML - reads a TCS export file and converts it to P-C XML for upload.

Hi Richard,

I'd be interested in look.
Do you need a separate/unique API key to make use of it?

Regards

Malcolm

Hello Richard, 

I play for a club within the Cherwell league and sadly it does not have a large support of software scoring. I have managed to get the JSON data out of the website, however, the match JSON is based on that used by the ECB to load scorecards into play-cricket. TCS does not natively support that I suppose. 

I wanted to maintain my clubs personal records and so was wondering if your dll can help convert the json to tcs import files.

Cheers
Vivian

Vivian,

I also play in the Cherwell League, the easiest way I have found for extracting statistics from TCS is to import the .xml file (i.e. the file you directly export to the CCL website from TCS) and import it into Cricket Statistics for Windows (http://www.ggiddings.myzen.co.uk/csfw.htm).  I have been using this for 15 years and have found where necessary it takes me about 10 minutes to manually input games from a scorebook and is pretty instant from the .xml file.

If you have any further questions, my contact details are on the CCL website (under Abingdon Vale).
