Attendance, court map, calling, live score and closing — the desk routine.
Get in through Open desk, on the round card (Manage → Schedule). At the
top are attendance and the Courts button, which opens the court map.
Below, the round’s matches grouped by turn (“Turn 1”, “Turn 2”…): each card
shows who is playing, the court, the state and the button for the next action.
The desk just opened: attendance at the top and the matches grouped by turn, all still Open.
Each match goes through these states:
State
Means
Open
A player has not arrived yet, or its turn is still far off
Ready
All players present, and it is the current turn (or the next one)
As players arrive, tap their name — tapping again unmarks it. The counter shows
how many are already at the venue. It is only a check-in: it does not change
the bracket, the draw or the standings. With more than 24 players the section
opens collapsed: just the counter, the search (Search athlete) and a
See all button that opens the full attendance screen, organized by turn.
Marking attendance and mapping the courts, in 45 seconds.
Seven of eight at the venue: whoever has arrived is highlighted.
Tap Courts. Each turn has one match per court — “Court 1”, “Court 2”…: say
which club court each one is (in the example, Court 1 is Centre Court and
Court 2 is Covered Court). Without the map, the call goes out with no
location and the player does not know where to go. The map belongs to the
round (and to each category, when the competition has more than one); you can
change it at any time.
Courts for this round: each grid court points to a club court.
With the map done, each card shows its court. What makes a match Ready is
attendance, not the map: the current matches with all players present turn
Ready. You can call an Open match too; if it has
no court yet, Call asks for the court in a menu.
With attendance marked: Ready where all players are present; the match of the player who has not arrived stays Open.
Call, start, follow the score and finish, in 50 seconds.
1
Call
Tap Call. The match’s players get a full-screen alert on their phone,
with the court, the partner and the opponents — and a notification, if the
app is closed. The state becomes Called and the card shows how long
ago. From then until the match finishes, the court shows as In use
when you pick a court for another match.
2
Start
When they are on court, tap Start. The match becomes On court and
the desk starts timing it. If a player still had the alert open, it closes
on its own.
3
Live score (optional)
Keep the running score game by game with the card’s + and −
buttons; New set opens the next set. Players and anyone following the
competition see it live. The score follows the match format (sets, games,
tie-break) and does not let you go past the limit.
4
Finished
Tap Finished. The desk opens the result form already filled in: the
start and end times it recorded and the score you kept. Check it, adjust
what you need and complete it. The match closes, the standings update and
you are back at the desk.
Called: Start, Change court and Undo.
On court: the running score game by game, and the Finished and Change court buttons.
After Finished: the result form arrives with the score kept at the desk.
With one or two courts, the desk is the list by turn you saw above. With three or
four courts, on a wide screen, it widens into a grid: one turn per row,
one court per column. On a narrow screen it goes back to the list.With more than one category (or group), the desk splits the matches by
category, with a filter at the top (All categories, or just one). The
View selector switches to By court: a grid with one column per club
court and all categories together — the view of someone looking at the venue,
not at the table. It depends on the court map; with many courts, the grid
scrolls sideways.In formats without turns (World Cup, Super 12, knockout), the desk lists the
matches by state: On court, Called, Ready, Open and
Finished.
Two operators, one desk. The owner, administrators and assistants can
open the desk at the same time, on different devices — what one does shows
up on the other’s screen. If someone changes the same match before you do,
the desk warns you: “This match was already changed by someone else.”
