How to control courts from the dashboard

Each court with a paired tablet has a card on the Painel de Placar. 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 Painel de Placar in the sidebar, under Dia do 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 1º tempo, and its status: Pronto, Ao vivo, Pausado or Tempo Limite.

   

3. Click Assumir Controle. The card opens its controls, and the tablet shows Controlado pelo Organizador until you hand it back.

   

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

   

5. Under Tempo do relógio 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 Pausar.

   

When you’re done, click Liberar Controle 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 Jogo 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.
• Trocar Lados to switch the side each team is shown on.
• Penalidades: +1 adds a penalty to a team and -1 removes one. A running penalty counts down next to the team’s name.
• Linha do tempo do jogo: the stages of the game, such as the halves and Sem bloqueio. Click one to move the game to it.
• With a set timer or the cloth ruleset, the set clock’s buttons, such as Novo Conjunto, and Definir tempo do cronômetro to adjust it. See how to set scoreboard timer rules.

Start every court at the same time

1. Click Sincronização: DESLIGADA at the top of the dashboard, so it reads Sincronização: LIGADA. Instead of starting their own clock, the tablets now show O organizador iniciará and a Marcar Pronto button.
2. As each court’s tablet is marked ready, its card shows Pronto para Começar, and the count on Sincronizar Início de Quadras Prontas goes up.
3. Click Sincronizar Início de Quadras Prontas 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 Ajuda, or which team is missing. Once you’ve dealt with it, click the badge to clear it.

Reset a stuck court

Redefinir Dados do 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.
