Every option explained

Every setting a competition has, what it starts on and what it does. Everything starts on a sensible answer, so most days change very little of this.

Creating the competition

Asked when a competition is made, and changeable afterwards on the Details step.

JudgesDefault: three: How many judge seats the panel has, from 1 to 5. Three is the ICF panel; a club night is often one. Each judge seat gets a code, and the console draws a column per seat.
Run timerDefault: off: Shows a countdown to the judges and the big screen. The chief judge starts and stops one clock and every screen follows it. With it off nobody sees a clock.
Rule setDefault: this device's own: Surface boats or squirt boats, or a rule set of your own. It decides the tricks, their values and the rounds' starting answers. It can be changed until the first score is locked.
Date from and Date to: The days the competition runs. A round is set to one of them on the Sessions step.

Advanced settings

On the Details step, under Advanced settings · optional. None of them are needed to run the day; each row says what it is set to and is marked Changed when it is not the app's own answer.

Scoring

The trick gridDefault: By family: How the tiles are laid out on the judges' grid: grouped the way the rule book groups the moves, or A to Z.
A trick called twiceDefault: Log duplicate tricks, score highest only: Do not log duplicate tricks is the ICF rule: the grid refuses a second call of a trick the same way. Log duplicate tricks, score highest only lets the judge log it again and counts the best one, with every extra it earned. Log duplicate tricks, score all counts every one.

Squirt

Only for a squirt rule set.

The mystery move's secondsDefault: Judges time it on the grid: Whether judges time the mystery with a stopwatch on the grid, or add the seconds in review after the run.
Base score until the lock: The graphics show the score without the multiplier during the run, then apply it when you lock.

Stream graphics

For a big screen or a live stream.

The score on the platesDefault: Live, then green at the lock: Live: the score moves as the judges score and turns green when you lock it. Freeze near the end: it stops moving near the end, so the result lands when you lock it.
