STUMPED vs Manual Scoring
Paper scorebooks still show up at weekend tape-ball cups — until wind, rain, or a disputed wide ruins the page. STUMPED keeps the same discipline as a book, with automation where humans usually err.
Feature comparison
Side-by-side look at offline mode, speed, ads, battery, and sharing.
| Feature | STUMPED | Paper scorebook | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offline Mode | Works with zero signal — data stays on device | Works offline, but pages tear, blur, or get lost | Tie |
| Speed | One-tap runs, extras, wickets, and undo | Writing + tallying slows the over on busy nights | STUMPED |
| Ads | No ads interrupting the scoring flow | No ads — but no automation either | Tie |
| Battery Usage | Phone battery required (keep a power bank for finals) | No battery — until you need a calculator and torch | Paper scorebook |
| Ease of Sharing | Instant digital scorecards ready for WhatsApp when online | Photo of a book — hard to read, easy to dispute | STUMPED |
STUMPED wins on accuracy, chase math, and sharing. Keep a paper backup if you like — but run the official score on device so standings and NRR are not rebuilt from memory on Monday.
