How it works
Who uses what
Section titled “Who uses what”| Who | From where | To do what |
|---|---|---|
| Organiser | Browser, at app.kombatcontrol.com |
Creates the event, approves entries, runs the weigh-ins, starts the competition, follows the mats |
| Referee table | Desktop app for Windows, one per mat | Calls the matches, scores points and penalties, confirms results, projects the scoreboard |
| Athletes | Browser, with an athlete account | Register from the event page, naming their club |
| Audience | Browser, phone included | Follows mats, brackets and podiums from a link, with no account |
The phases of an event
Section titled “The phases of an event”The Stato evento (event status) page shows the progress bar at the top. Its labels match these phases:
- Draft: the event is a draft.
- Published: it is published and visible, but registrations aren’t open yet.
- Registration Open: registrations are open.
- Registration Closed: registrations are closed; time for weigh-ins and the start.
- Running: the competition is under way.
- Completed: all matches are finished.
Registrations open and close on the dates you set on the event page: there is no button to press. The rest is up to you, with three commands in the Gestione Competizione (competition management) section:
| Command | When it appears | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Avvia Evento (start event) | Before the competition | Generates the official brackets and the mat schedule. Done once only |
| Avvia Live (go live) | After Avvia Evento | Starts the competition clock: from here times count from the real start |
| Chiudi Evento (close event) | When all matches are over | Makes the event read-only. It can be reopened with Riapri Evento |
What you need at the venue
Section titled “What you need at the venue”- A Windows computer with the referee table app for every mat.
- An internet connection for the tables and for whoever handles scales and registrations.
- A projector or a second screen for the scoreboard, if you want the hall to see it. It is optional.
If the network drops, clock, score and projected scoreboard carry on on the table’s computer, and the actions go out when the connection is back. Confirming a match result, however, needs the server: without a connection the result window stays open until the connection returns.
