Is this your first Match? Start with the glossary — it explains Squad, Stage, Hit Factor and the other terms in plain language. If something already went wrong, go straight to common questions and problems.

What the system covers

  • Online registration with squad hold and receipt.
  • Range operations: check, PIN-confirmed score entry, DQ and officials.
  • Correct score vs authorize reshoot; attendance (present / no-show); DNF with zero score.
  • CRO (Area Chief) within the area scope; athlete appeals with RM/Stats' answer.
  • Schedule hub, public results and, when enabled, the list of decided appeals.
  • Season championships, when the organization runs them.

Quick view of match day

  1. Entity sets up the match, shares the registration link, and publishes hub/results.
  2. Athlete creates an account, registers, sets the PIN, and checks times on the hub.
  3. RO does the equipment check (if the match requires it), marks attendance, enters the score with the PIN and can mark DNF.
  4. Officials (RM / Stats / CRO) track progress, DQ, authorize corrections/reshoots and decide appeals.
Public match links use the public code (e.g.: /i/CODIGO registration, /p/CODIGO hub, /r/CODIGO results). The staff sets publication on the match. Championships live at /c/CODIGO when the entity enables them. The public match catalog is at /matches. The homepage also has a FAQ with quick answers.
