ultimately we were tired of the confusion.The developers of SmartScorer, quarreled after each local cricket match about who did best. Who hit more sixes? Who bowled the best spell? Who should be named Man of the Match? We realised that cricket is pointless without stats if we have no basis for discussion or recognition, then we have nothing. In the end, we just asked ourselves, "Why don't we start scoring our matches properly?" That one small idea grew into something bigger. When we were discussing the idea further, we realised that thousands upon thousands of local cricketers felt the same way, and that was the inception of SmartScorer.
Probably. At this stage, SmartScorer uses a free to end-user business model.

Basic match scoring and tournament management will not come with a cost to anyone. Stay with us; smartscorer will grow and so will you!
