Practical guides for precision shooting Matches. Pick your area:

Is this your first Match here? Start with the glossary — it explains series, target, ring, X and relay in two lines each. If something has already gone wrong, go straight to questions and problems.

Club and front desk

Create the Match, set up modalities, series and relays, open registration and publish the results.

Judge in the field

Score target by target on the phone, collect the PIN and sign the series — even with no signal.

Athlete

Modalities

The course of fire: targets, shots, series and times — and why the Match keeps a copy of it.

Scoreboard and standings

How points are added up, what the X is worth and what goes public.

Ties and tie-breaks

The three rules in the module, what each one settles and which to pick before the Match.

Questions and problems

What to do when something turns out differently than expected — a direct answer, situation by situation.

Integration and API

Connect your club system to Orbit: Matches, registrations and results over the API.

Glossary

Series, target, ring, X, relay, PIN: the terms of the Match in plain language.

The idea in one paragraph

The judge's screen is the scoresheet as always: one row per target, one column per ring. The judge taps the ring of each shot, the athlete checks their own series and signs with a PIN — when the Match asks for one — and the judge signs the series. From then on the result is signed and the scoreboard updates on its own: nobody types anything again afterwards.

How a match day happens

The club creates the Match, picks the modalities it is going to offer, sets up series and relays and opens registration.
The athlete registers through the link — one registration for each modality they are going to shoot — and picks the relay.
The judge scores target by target on the phone, one athlete per screen, with the rings at hand.
At the end of the series each athlete checks their scorecard and signs with the PIN, if the Match requires it; the judge signs and the series becomes a result.
The scoreboard adds up the signed series and shows on the public screen, if the club publishes it.

What this module guarantees

The maths is always the server's. The judge's device sends the shots per ring; the points, the X count and the ranking are worked out here — there is no way for a total to arrive "ready-made" from outside.
A result only exists once it is signed. While the series is not signed, what is on the screen is a draft and does not count on the scoreboard.
A closed Match does not change. The structure freezes and the published result is still the same a year from now.
Every change is recorded — who changed what and when — including those made through the integration.

It works without signal too. The judge's screen keeps the marks on the device itself and sends them when the network comes back. Close the Match only after the bottom bar shows that nothing is pending.
