Period Scoring: Track Every Quarter, Half, and Inning

A final score tells you who won. Period scores tell you the story. Rosterlytic now lets you break down every game into its component parts — periods for hockey, quarters for basketball, halves for soccer, innings for softball, and sets for volleyball.

How It Works

When entering or editing a game score (on mobile or the web dashboard), expand the period details section. You'll see rows for each regulation period pre-filled for your sport:

Enter the score for each period. The total score is computed automatically — no mental math.

How Totals Work

For most sports, the total is the sum of all period scores. If your hockey game goes 2-1, 0-0, 1-2, the total is 3-3.

Volleyball is different. The total counts sets won, not total points. If the set scores are 25-20, 18-25, 25-22, the total is 2-1 (your team won 2 sets, opponent won 1).

Overtime and Extra Periods

If a game goes to overtime, tap Add Period (or Add Quarter, Add Half, etc.). The new row is automatically labeled OT instead of a number. If you add a second overtime, it shows OT2.

When you add a period beyond regulation, the result dropdown automatically switches to Overtime. You can change it back to Regulation if you added the row by accident, or switch to Shootout/Penalties for hockey and soccer.

For softball and kickball, extra innings are standard — they're just numbered normally (8th, 9th, etc.) since extra innings aren't "overtime" in those sports.

Where Period Scores Show Up

Period scores appear anywhere the game score is displayed:

• Game detail pages — full period breakdown
• Schedule views — period scores shown alongside the total
• Public embeds — the scores widget shows period detail for completed games
• Score labels — games decided in overtime show (OT), (SO), (ET), or (PK) next to the score

Entering Period Scores

On Mobile (Flutter App)

1. Open a game from your schedule
2. Tap Edit
3. Expand Period Details (or Quarter Details, Half Details, etc.)
4. Enter each period's score
5. The total updates automatically as you type
6. Save

On the Web Dashboard

1. Click the pencil icon on any game
2. Click Add Period Details to expand the section
3. Enter scores for each period
4. Click Save Changes

Tips

• Period scores are optional. You can always just enter the total score without breaking it down.
• You can add period scores later. Enter the total now, come back and add period detail when you have time.
• Volleyball set scores show as "25-20, 18-25, 25-22" in compact views — so you can see the full match story at a glance.
• The OT auto-flip is smart. Adding an extra period beyond regulation switches the result to Overtime. Removing it switches back. You always have manual control.
