[MMDL] Help us speed up weekly score reporting...email your match reports

Want to see your scores get updated faster?
See the attached flyer, read further for details or click here.


Submit your regular season weekly match reports via email! 
It's fast and easy as long as you can send a CLEAR image of your report.

PREFERRED METHOD - DOCUMENT SCANNER
Using a scanner is the best way to make sure you take a clear image of your report and do not encounter any glitches or further delays in processing.  If possible, please use this method to avoid any issues.

ALTERNATE METHOD - SMARTPHONE CAMERA - ACCEPTED BUT NOT ADVISED
Using a smartphone camera or document scanning app is accepted but not encouraged as image quality via this method is not as reliable.  If you wish to submit a picture, please make sure the image is very clear and easily readable.  You may wish to do a test picture before the season to ensure image quality will be acceptable, contact your area's statistician listed below to coordinate a test run.

ALWAYS keep a hardcopy of the match report on hand as a backup. Reports submitted later than the Friday following the match are subject to late penalty point deductions.
NOTE: Please also include the final score of your match in the body of your email.

Remember to check the image to make sure it is readable before you email it and then send it to the appropriate area statistician below:
Boston & NS - Donna Millett:
donnam@mmdl.org
