game day
The courtside console, and what to do when things move.
Works today
There is a separate screen for the day itself. It is built for one hand, standing up, in bright light — not for a desk.
Four tabs, one job each
- Scores — review what came in, confirm or reject, close the game.
- Schedule — live rounds and where each is being played.
- Check-in — the door scanner.
- Roster — substitute, add or withdraw mid-game.
The rhythm
- Open the control room from the game.
- Check people in as they arrive, so you know your real numbers before you build rounds.
- Run the rounds. Scores come in from whoever you have given the job to.
- Close it once everything is settled.
Common questions
The signal is bad at our court.
Paper for the round, enter it when you have bars. Better than losing a round to a spinning icon.
Someone registered and did not show.
Withdraw them from the Roster tab so rounds build off who is actually there.
I am running two games at once.
Each has its own control room. Give each one its own scorer rather than switching between them.
