On tournament day

1. Varsity and JVA regular-season day is two tournaments at once. Switch between them at the top of Courts and Standings.
2. CourtsIn varsity duals, A, B and C each play a best-of-three match and take the next free court, so a dual's three matches usually start together. Courts shows what's on every court, what's next, and about how long until it starts. Your players get a notification when their court is called.
3. ReffingWhen one of your pairs is the ref, Start Scoring shows up on their phone. Big buttons, one point per tap, and it keeps working with weak signal.
4. Team announcementsOn My Team, send your players and their families a note, like "Team meeting at the tent at 8:15".
5. StandingsPools update with every point. Varsity days are pool play only; tap A, B or C to see how each school's pairs are doing. JV pools lead to a bracket, and If Pools Ended Now shows who you'd play.
