Run a test with your staff

A dry run before the night. Test scores are kept apart and cleared with one click.

Try the whole thing with your staff before climbers do: scanning, scoring, partner ticks, the TV, sign-off and paper entry.

Start

Your league or comp, Overview tab, Test mode, Start test mode.
Every phone, the TV, the admin and printouts show a TEST banner.
Rounds: open the round you want to try.
Staff scan the poster and join. Everyone who joins now is a test entrant.
Score a few problems, tick each other’s tops, and watch the TV.
Try the paper fallback: print a scoresheet, fill it in, type it in at Score entry, then look at the Change log.

Press Clear test data and go live. It deletes the test entrants, their scores and their change-log lines, and turns test mode off.

Rounds go back to how they were before the test. If the event starts straight away, tick “Keep the rounds as they are now” first.

Test scores never appear in real results, on the TV or in the league table.
During a test only test entrants can score. In a league, climbers who joined in earlier rounds cannot score until you go live.
You cannot start a test while a round is live with real results.
Staff phones that joined as test entrants are asked to join again once you are live.
