We will be using a tournament software called SCOREHOLIO. Please go to the App Store for your phone and download the Scoreholio app. You can FOLLOW your team and subscribe to match updates and notifications. Watch this video to learn how - https://youtu.be/MeSCEJc-suQ. At least ONE player from each team MUST have the app installed and get notifications. We will be limiting the amount of games we call over the PA system.
When Your Game is Assigned
We will NOT be calling each game over the PA system. Instead, you will receive a notification through the Scoreholio app. It's mandatory that at least one player from each team have the app installed on their device and set to receive notifications.
Once your game is assigned, you will receive a notification telling you which court to go to along with your opponent. Proceed to that court and verify your opponents. If your opponent does not show up within 5 minutes then please come up to the director's table so that we can give them a warning to get to the court.
At the conclusion of the game, the WINNING team should come up and report the exact score on one of the kiosks assigned to their group. Once the game has been submitted, a new game will be automatically assigned.
