5. Quick Cheatsheet & Frequently Asked Questions

Rules reference, role shortcuts, and common operational questions
How does the Center Pass alternate?

Center Pass alternates after every goal scored. If a quarter ends, the team entitled to the next center pass retains it for the start of the next quarter. The system handles this automatically.

What happens in a Knockout tie?

When regular quarters end in a draw during a Knockout match, click Extra Time on the Scorer console. Two 7-minute halves will be initialized with automated team advance upon completion.

Who can score matches?

Users with Scorer or Staff permissions can log into the Scorer Console. Spectators can follow live scores in read-only mode without logging in.

How do I switch themes & font sizes?

Use the bottom-right footer toolbar to switch between Light, Dark, Ocean, Forest, Purple Night, or Sepia, or adjust text size (A− / A / A+).
