How to control courts from the dashboard

Each court with a paired tablet has a card on the Panel de marcadores. The card follows the tablet live: the teams, the score, the clock and where the game is at. When a court needs a hand, you can take over its tablet from the card and run the game from your own screen.

Before you start

• You need to manage the event or its scoreboards.
• The court has a paired tablet, and the tablet is on. The card’s controls act through the tablet, so a tablet that’s off or offline doesn’t respond. See how to set up scoreboards and pair tablets.

Steps

1. In your event’s planner, click Panel de marcadores in the sidebar, under Día del evento. The dashboard opens in a new tab.

   

2. Find the court’s card. It shows the two teams with their scores, the clock, the stage of the game, such as 1.ª mitad, and its status: Listo, En vivo, Pausado or Tiempo muerto.

   

3. Click Tomar Control. The card opens its controls, and the tablet shows Controlado por el organizador until you hand it back.

   

4. Under Controles del Juego, pick a game in the list beside Reiniciar juego, such as the court’s next game. The tablet loads it with its teams, and the clock starts over.

   

5. Under Tiempo del reloj principal, click a button to take time off the clock or put it back, by the minute, 15 seconds or the second.

   

6. Click Iniciar to start the clock. While it runs, the button reads Pausa.

   

When you’re done, click Liberar control to hand the court back to its tablet.

The other controls

While you have control, the card also offers:

• +1 and -1 beside each team’s score. A change is saved to the game, just like a point scored on the tablet.
• Reiniciar juego to start the game over: the clock goes back to the start and the scoreboard to 0–0. A score already saved to the game stays; correct it on the Resultados page if you need to. See how to enter scores.
• Cambiar de lado to switch the side each team is shown on.
• Penales: +1 adds a penalty to a team and -1 removes one. A running penalty counts down next to the team’s name.
• Cronología del juego: the stages of the game, such as the halves and No hay bloqueo. Click one to move the game to it.
• With a set timer or the cloth ruleset, the set clock’s buttons, such as Nuevo set, and Establecer tiempo del temporizador to adjust it. See how to set scoreboard timer rules.

Start every court at the same time

1. Click Sincronización: DESACTIVADA at the top of the dashboard, so it reads Sincronización: ACTIVADA. Instead of starting their own clock, the tablets now show El organizador iniciará and a Marcar como Listo button.
2. As each court’s tablet is marked ready, its card shows Listo para comenzar, and the count on Sincronizar Inicio de Canchas Listas goes up.
3. Click Sincronizar Inicio de Canchas Listas and confirm. Every court marked ready starts at once.

When a court asks for help

The scorekeeper can flag a court from the tablet. Its card then shows Ayuda, or which team is missing. Once you’ve dealt with it, click the badge to clear it.

Reset a stuck court

Restablecer datos de socket clears the court’s live game and starts its tablet over, with no game loaded. Use it only when the card and the tablet stop agreeing. It asks you to confirm first.
