# Why can't I enter a result?

> The reasons the result buttons are missing or a save is refused, and what to do about each.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * The most common reason: your league has not turned on participant scoring. The game says **This league records results centrally.** instead of showing buttons.
  * A game can only be recorded from its own day, on the club's clock. Future games have no button.
  * If the club has not set points for that round and division, the save is refused until they do.
</Note>

**No buttons, just "This league records results centrally."** Your convenor or the club office enters the results; on **My Teams** there is no **Record result** button for that league.

**The game hasn't been played yet.** Results open on the day of the game, by the club's clock — so tonight's game can be entered after you come off the ice, even if it is already tomorrow where the server is. Until then the game has no button on **My Teams**, **Game results** or the schedule, and a save is refused with *This game hasn't been played yet — results can be recorded from the day of the game*.

**The game is not in the waiting list.** **Game results** lists at the top only played games with no result on either side. A game that already has a result is further down, under **Recorded results** — see [How do I correct a game result?](/members/leagues-and-games/how-do-i-correct-a-game-result).

**"You are not on either team."** Only a curler on one of the two teams — or the guardian of one — may enter the result. If you were subbing, ask a rostered player.

**"No points have been configured for this game's round/division…"** The club has not set the win/loss/tie points for that round and division yet, so there is nothing to award. Tell your league manager; once the points are in, try again.

**"Scores must be whole numbers or halves from 0 to 99.5"** In a scores league a score like 3.25 is refused; use 3 or 3.5.

**Points leagues have no score boxes.** In a points-mode league only the outcome counts, so the dialog offers **We won**, **They won** and **Tie** and no scores.

**It's a jitney league.** In a jitney league, where teams change every night, results are always entered by the club or your convenor, and the night's games are not offered on **Game results**, **My Teams** or the schedule. Your points update once the result is in.

**"A knockout game cannot end in a tie…"** In a bonspiel bracket, play an extra end and record the winner.
