The **Tournament Desk** is the screen the organizer runs **on the day** of the competition: attendance, calling players to the court, "on court", live score and closing each match — all in Matchely, with no other app on the side. It was designed for the one-afternoon event run by a single person, and that is where it works best: a laptop (or tablet) on the desk, the players on their phones. Before the day, three things need to be ready. ## 1. The venue's courts The desk sends each match to a **club court**, and it only knows the courts registered in your **organization**. Under **Menu → My Organizations → your organization → Settings**, **Courts** tab, each court has a name and sports, and can be active or inactive. Only an **active** court with the competition's sport shows up on the desk. How to register them is in [Your venue's courts](/en/courts/manage). Courts tab of the organization settings, with the 2/30 counter and two cards, Centre Court and Covered Court, both padel (doubles), only the second with the Covered chip, and the Add court button Courts tab of the organization settings, with the 2/30 counter and two cards, Centre Court and Covered Court, both padel (doubles), only the second with the Covered chip, and the Add court button The competition must have been **published under the organization** — you choose that on the last screen of creation, the [Review](/en/competitions/create). The link does not change after publishing: a competition published under your personal name opens the desk, but does not let you pick a court. If the stage takes place at **more than one club**, add the **venues**: under **Manage → Schedule**, on the round card, **Edit stage → Stage venues**. The desk then offers the courts of all of them, and a court shows as "Club · Court". For a club to be a venue, it must have authorized your organization under **Settings → Event partners**. ## 2. Who runs the desk with you The owner and administrators can do everything. For someone to run **only the desk**, go to **Manage → Information → Administrators**, tap **Add Administrator**, pick the person and the **Assistant** role. An assistant starts with the **Tournament desk** and **Results** areas: they call, start, change courts and enter results — and do **not** touch entries, rounds, money or settings. Row of the administrators list with the player's name and the Assistant label Row of the administrators list with the player's name and the Assistant label The **Add Administrator** search only finds people who are already members of the competition. ## 3. The open round The desk works on the **open round**. When you open the round (the matches are generated), its card, under **Manage → Schedule**, gets the **Open desk** button — only on the current round, and only while it is open. With no open round, the desk says "No round open right now."

On the day, **Open desk** is how you get in — see [On the day](/en/competitions/desk/on-the-day).
