Scorer page¶
Used in: 4. Register and build the site · 8. Run the day · Scorer handout
The scorer page is for the staff who enter match scores on tournament day. It does one thing: it lists a venue's matches and lets you type in a match's score. It has no standings, no schedule board and nothing to sign into. The operator gives you a scorer link, from Control Center's Mission Control, and the link is all you need. The one-page brief to send with the link is the scorer handout.
Opening it¶
Open the link on your phone. The page keeps the link for next time, so you can close the tab and come back to the same page later without the link, until it expires. A newer link replaces an older one.
- A scorer link works for one day, at every venue of that day, for 24 hours from when the operator issued it.
- "Ask the operator for a scorer link." There is no link on this device, or it is not a scorer link.
- "This scorer link has expired. Ask the operator for a new one." It has run past its 24 hours. Open a newer link.
- "Scorer links are stopped for this event. Ask the operator." The operator has stopped scorer links. Nothing can be saved until they accept them again, and the page checks every time it loads, so reload once they have.
If the operator issued the link to someone, the line under the page name ends with
who: · Day 1 · Ana (Courts 3–4). It is the label that goes on every score saved with
this link, so it shows who the link was given to. It is shown only when the link has a
name or a note.
Picking a venue¶
If the day has several venues, the page asks Which venue are you at? and shows no matches until you pick one. A day with one venue picks it for you.
The venue buttons stay at the top of the page the whole time. Tap another venue whenever you need to, and you see that venue's matches straight away, with no new link and no confirmation. The page remembers your venue on this device, and the title line under the page name always says which venue you are scoring.
Finding a match¶
Below the venues:
- a search box: a match number (
42or#42), a team code, a team name or a player's name - court buttons: All courts, or one court
- Hide scored, on by default, which leaves out matches that already have a score so you only see what is left
Each venue keeps its own search, court and Hide scored choices, so switching away and back finds them as you left them. Above the list, a line reads 7 of 24 scored for the venue.
Each match is a card: its number, time and court, both sides in the order the sheet has them, and the score on the right, or a dash while it has none. A card that says To be decided has players that aren't known yet and opens read-only. In a team event the cards show team names and Lineup not set where a lineup is missing. A playoff side whose team isn't known yet reads Seed 1 · TBD. The score dialog names the stage and the pair under the title, for example Semifinal · Men's Doubles.
Entering a score¶
Tap a match. The dialog is the same one Control Center uses: Score entry. In short: type both scores, check the Winner line and the score on the Review step, then Save. You can correct a score that is already there, or clear it with Clear score.
If the sheet changed while you had the match open (someone typed into the sheet, or another scorer saved), you are shown what it reads now and can Keep the sheet's score or Replace with yours.
If saving is refused you are told why, for example that the link is for another day, or that scorer links have been stopped. If the score reached the sheet but could not be published, the page says so and to tell the operator so they can resync.
