3 ways to Start Refereeing a Match
Before someone can begin to referee a match using the app, the tournament director must first assign the match to a live court. This tells the software it is ok to all the match to be officiated.
3 ways to Start Refereeing in the app once it is assigned to a live court:
1) Director starts match by scanning the QR code from the time grid. The match ID will also be listed underneath the QR code to use in option 3.
2) Printed scorecards have QR code to scan, and also have match ID in order to use option 3 below.
3) Visit scorecard.r2sports.com in a web browser and type in the match ID. |

Select First Server
Once the match details are loaded in the app, choose who has the first serve. Once those occurs, it triggers the match to be loaded into the live scoreboard explained towards the bottom of this page.
It also changes the director’s time grid which will display the live scores as it is being refereed. The time grid does not refresh scores automatically for the director like the scoreboard does. |

Live Scorecard App Interface
The design of the app interface make it very simple and easy for the referee to use. The scoring is shown on the top half of the screen and the person or team serving is always bolded.
There are 2 very large main buttons, push one each time a point is scored, the other for when a side-out occurs. When a button is pressed, it will highlight and change colors to give the referee a visual indication. There is also an option to hear a sound each time a main button is pressed, but the sound option doesn’t work on all devices.
Up to 4 sub buttons can appear on the home screen, each with a different task. Timeout, Injury, Technical, and Appeals when using line judges

Scorecard Live for Doubles
The scorecard app allows you to referee both singles and doubles matches. The user interface to referee a doubles match is very similar to a singles match but there are a few exceptions.
Differences with doubles:
1)Team winning the serve gets only 1 server before the first sideout.
2) After a sideout, Handout button shows up instead of sideout. Once handout is pressed, it is the other partners serve and the button name will change to Sideout
3) When pressing hand out, the team serving will stay bolded

Live Scoreboard for 1 Match
When a crowd of spectators is watching a live match, one of the most frustrating things for the fans is when they don’t know what the current score is. When a referee or spectator uses the scorecard app to keep the score of a live match, the scoreboard will display the real time results from the scorecard app that the referee is using.
One option is to only display 1 match very large on the scoreboard. This option is best if people will be looking from far away so you want it as large and easy to ready as possible.
At the top of the live score, option to display the tournament logo at the top left, the sport organization’s at the top right, with the tournament name in the middle.

Multi Matches on scoreboard
Sometimes directors may have other areas like a VIP lounge, or may be using multiple venues to run their event. In this case, you can display a live scoreboard with multi matches.
Based on the size of your projector or TV for the scoreboard, the maximum number of live matches will vary.
On the home page of the tournament website, all live matches will also appear and show the live score at the time the page was loaded.

|
|
Scoreboard Display Options
Directors can get to the live scoreboard page in the tournament software by going to the live event section and clicking the Live Scoreboard link. Once clicked, the scoreboard options page will come up. The director can set up multiple scoreboards in different locations using different options on this page.
If your tournament is hosted at more than one club, option to select which club’s live matches to display on the scoreboard.
Decide how many live matches to display. If you have a display for 1 specific match, set it to 1, otherwise select maximum number base on your screen size.
Option to have recent results either scroll across the bottom or appear in a table. Select number of recent results to scroll. It is usually good to choose the same number as you have courts. So if you have 10 courts, select 10, so all results within that time frame will be displayed.
Ability to display sponsors at the bottom of the scoreboard.
Change the display size if you have a very large projector, or when you only have 1 match to display
