Before You Start: Arrive by the rulebook's captain check-in time, discuss machine conditions with the opposing captain, and confirm four eligible players for each side.
- Open the match from Schedule.
- In Setup, confirm the HOME and AWAY teams.
- Review roster and substitute eligibility. Captains coordinate substitutes, but only a Commissioner or Admin can add one to the match in the current app.
- Select Edit for your own team, choose four players, and select Save Lineup. A captain cannot edit the opponent's lineup.
- Confirm both sides show Ready, then select Start Match. Either team captain, a Commissioner, or an Admin can start it.
- Open R1. The AWAY captain uses Pick, selects each Machine, selects P1 and P3, then selects Save Pick.
- The HOME captain selects Respond, chooses P2 and P4, then selects Save Response.
- Confirm both games before anyone starts play.
HOME picks Rounds 2 and 4. AWAY picks Rounds 1 and 3. Singles use P1 for the picking team and P2 for the responding team.
Commissioner Review: Commissioners and Admins can manage match substitutes, force finalization, unlock a Final match, and review the Audit tab. Captains do not receive those controls.
