Overview

These answers match the in-app Help button on the related admin page. Use them while you work, or share this article with co-organizers.

1.How do players find My Schedule and the court board?

On phones, My Schedule is a primary tab in the event ribbon (labeled Schedule). Court Schedule is under More on mobile and Courts on desktop when the event has courts configured. From My Schedule, tapping a court number opens that court’s queue so players can see how many games are ahead.

2.Court Assignments vs Update Scores — when to use which?

Court Assignments is the venue-facing view: group by court, assign court/time, export PDF. Update Scores is optimized for bulk score entry and unscheduled matches. Same underlying match data. Players can open Court Assignments (Court Schedule) read-only to check the queue on their next court.

3.How are courts defined?

From Edit Tournament: number of courts and starting court number (e.g. courts 1–8). Assign court and optional time on each match from Court Assignments.

4.Can I auto-schedule matches?

Yes. Schedule Matches from the dashboard runs scheduling that respects daily time windows, court count, and division start times.

5.What is the Tournament Day control panel?

An admin live dashboard: check-in %, match counts (active/upcoming/completed/delayed), auto-refresh, and quick links to check-in, schedule, scores, TV display, and admin.

6.How does TV display fit in?

Tournament Day links to TV Display for venue screens. TV display is a paid Event/Club feature alongside QR check-in and SMS. Use Dark for dim lobbies or Light for bright rooms — toggle in the TV header (or add ?theme=light to the URL). The choice is remembered on that browser/TV.

7.What timezone is used?

The event timezone from Edit Tournament drives display formatting and scheduling windows — important for multi-location or travel events.
