Tournament day, then the results

Tournament · Match day · Scoring table mode

Run the table, full screen

On match day, the tournament opens full screen, on a laptop as on a phone: one card per court, and five tabs at the bottom — Courts, Schedule, Matches, Brackets, Check-in. The number on Check-in counts those not here yet.

At the top, the day on one line: players checked in, courts in play, delay. A court running over its slot gets a red outline. Choose “Court 2” to follow only yours: one volunteer per court, each with their phone.

Keep an eye on the day

The match day overview counts the players checked in, the courts in play, the matches on the programme and the average delay. The delay is there for information: published times do not move, and the delay is made up.

The “Next action” names the court waiting for its match. On the right, those already playing without being checked in: “Check in the 6 players on court” ticks them in one go. Then those not here yet, in the order of their first match: those are the ones to call first.

Check arrivals

Each player is ticked on arrival, once only, even if they play two events. The two players of a pair are ticked separately.

Search for a name, or tick “Only those not here yet” to narrow the list to those missing. The day roster prints from here too.

Start the matches and enter the scores

One card per court: the match in progress, for how long, and who is playing. “Start” when the players walk on, “Finish” when they walk off, then the score, game by game.

The cursor is already in the first box: 11, Tab, 7, Enter. The winner is only announced once they have their games; until then, Enter moves to the next box. A retirement or a match stopped on time is saved with “Save as it stands”. The winner then takes their place in the rest of the bracket.

“All matches” gives the same as a list, filtered by court or by event, with “Correct” for a score entered wrongly.

Tournament · Match day · TV screen

Show the tournament on the hall’s TV

The simplest is “The tournament’s common link”: open it once on the TV, it shows the courts, the pools and the brackets, and keeps itself up to date.

To control one screen in particular — pause it, move to the next view — create it with “+ New screen” and open its link on the TV: it obeys within three seconds.

“What turns on the screen” chooses the views, their duration, their order and their language: court calendar, matches in progress, pools, brackets, sponsors. The screen only shows the current day.

Tournament · Results

Publish the results

A final played decides the winner, but nothing appears on the public page until you publish: time to check a score, to hand out the cups.

The counter says how many podiums are announced out of how many. “Publish the podium” announces them. A score corrected afterwards marks the podium “to announce again”: what is online no longer says the same thing.

Close, then prepare the next edition

“Close the tournament” marks it “Finished”: entries close, and its invoice goes out straight away, without waiting for the end date. A tournament can be closed once it has started, and reopened if needed; the invoice already issued stays.

For next year, “Duplicate”, under “Settings”, recreates the tournament with its events, prices, courts and text, without a single entrant. All that is left is to change the dates.
