📖 User manual & features
Terrain allocation and the team call, explained from A to Z.
1. What is this tool for?
On the day of a competition, each team must be told which terrain it plays on. This tool numbers the terrains, forms the matches and assigns a terrain to each match, then displays a team call clear, ready to print or project on a big screen.
2. Number of terrains
Enter how many terrains are available (from 1 to 200). They will be numbered Terrain 1, Terrain 2…
3. Entering teams
Paste or type the list of teams into the large text area, one team per line (team or captain name). Empty lines are ignored.
4. Quick fill
Don't have the names yet? Enter a number and click on Generate Team 1, 2, 3… to automatically fill the list with numbered teams.
5. Random draw of matches
If the Random draw of matches box is checked, the teams are shuffled randomly before being paired. Uncheck it to keep theentry order. Re-run the allocation for a new draw.
6. Assigning terrains
The button 🏟️ ASSIGN TERRAINS forms the matches (team A vs team B) and gives each a terrain number.
7. Understanding rounds
If there are more matches than terrains, the matches are split into rounds : round 1 occupies terrains 1 to N, round 2 fills them again, etc.
8. The team call
Each match is displayed in a card "TERRAIN n: Team A vs Team B", readable from afar. Ideal for paper display or projection.
9. The exempt team
If the number of teams is odd number, the last team is marked as on a bye (it doesn't play this round).
