  • Checked 6 November 2026

Who can do this

Members of the group only. CricoScore adds the members for you.

Before you start

  • You are signed in.

  • Your phone has internet.

  • You are in a team squad. Or you are a captain, vice-captain or organiser in a tournament.

Who is in each group

Nobody makes these groups. CricoScore makes them automatically. You can't add or remove people yourself.

GroupMembers
Team group (shows Team)The person who made the team, and every squad player with a CricoScore account
Tournament group (shows Org)The organiser, co-organisers, and the captain and vice-captain of each team

To join a team group, ask the team owner to add you to the squad. See How to manage a team and squad.

Players added only by name (with no account) are not in the group.
