Start the competition

Before the start

Before the start, the Tatami Live page shows the provisional schedule: brackets and times worked out from the entries at that moment. It’s for checking how the mats are filled and giving clubs and athletes an idea of the times.

Avvia Evento — start event

From Stato evento, in the Gestione Competizione section, press Avvia Evento. KombatControl:

1. generates the official brackets of every category with entries, in the format the rulebook sets for their number;
2. spreads the categories across the mats, balancing the load and respecting each mat’s disciplines; a category stays entirely on the same mat;
3. gives every match a time, respecting every athlete’s rest even across different mats.

Valid entries	Bracket format
1	No match
2	Best of three
3 to 5	Round robin
More	Single elimination

Some rulebooks set their own thresholds: in Duo, for example, up to twelve couples fight two pools and the semi-finals.

It starts once only

A started event can’t be restarted: redoing brackets and schedule would overwrite times and matches. Close the weigh-ins and check the provisional schedule before you press.

Avvia Live — go live

When the competition really begins, press Avvia Live. From that moment the mat times count from the real start, and the schedule recalculates after every finished match.
