How do I run the matches on the day?

Check players in, put matches on courts, and score them from a phone at the court.

The short answer

Add your courts before the day starts. A court belongs to a venue, so add the venue first.

Check players in as they arrive so you know who is actually present.

Assign a match to a court when that court is free.

Scoring happens at the court, on a phone. The first person to score a match claims it.

Scores appear on the public page as they are entered, so nobody has to ask you.

Step by step

  1. Open Courts and add your venue, then add each court in the hall.

  2. Open Matches to see everything that is ready to play.

  3. Check in players as they arrive.

  4. Assign a match to a free court.

    The court board shows what is on each court right now.

  5. Score the match from a phone at that court.

    Whoever scores the first point holds the match. You can reassign it if the wrong person started.

Things that go wrong

A court needs a venue first

Courts belong to a venue. If you cannot add a court, add the venue first.

Only one person can score a match

The first person to enter a point holds that match, so two people cannot double count the same rally. If the wrong person started, reassign it.

Enter scores as they happen, not afterwards

The public page updates as points are entered. Entering a whole match at the end means everyone watching has been looking at a stale score.
