Creating Players

Players can be created by pressing the '+' icon in the app bar.  This will open the New Player  screen that will allow you to set the player name and properties.   

Properties include:

• Favorite - favorite players are always listed first when starting a new game.  It helps to create games faster when you play with the same group of people.

• Color - pressing the color button will open a dialog that will allow you set the player's color.

Editing Players

Created players will be displayed on the main Players screen.  To edit the player, swipe left on the list item to reveal the Edit and Delete buttons.  The Edit button will bring up a screen that allows you to edit the player name and properties.

Archiving and Deleting Players

Players that have participated in at least one game cannot be deleted.  Instead, they are archived until all the game instances they participated in have been deleted.  This helps maintain integrity with the scoring and medal counts.

To archive or delete a player, swipe left on the list item to reveal the Edit and Archived or Delete buttons.  Press the Archive button to archive the player and Delete button to delete the player.  Don't worry, it's not an immediate action.  A dialog will be shown to allow you to confirm the deletion or cancel out of it.

Unarchiving Players

To unarchive players (ie make them active again), press the Archive button in the upper left of the app bar.  This will bring up a screen that list all Archived Players.  To unarchive the player, toggle the radio button to the right of their name.  A dialog will be presented to confirm your actions.

Sorting Players

Games can be sorted by using the Sort icon located just below the '+' icon.

• A to Z - sorts players alphabetically by name

• Z to A - sorts players reverse alphabetically by name

• Favorites - sorts players by Favorites alphabetically then alphabetically by name

• Most Medals - sorts players by overall medal count

• Most Golds - sorts players by gold medal count

• Most Silvers - sorts players by silver medal count

• Most Bronzes - sorts players by bronze medal count

A game instance is simply an instance in time when you played the game.  The game instances can be accessed by clicking on the game in the main Game screen.

The game instances are organized in tabs and are color coated:

• Active tab, white background - the game is still active

• Completed tab, darker background - the game has been ended and the winner has been declared

Creating a Game Instance

Game Instances can be created by pressing the '+' icon in the app bar.  This will open a series of screens that allow you to select players and then order the players based on their position.

• Select Players - all active players will be listed.  Use the checkbox control to include the player in the game scoring

• Order Players - once players have been selected, order the players from top to bottom based on their position relative to the scorekeeper

Leaderboard

The Leaderboard tab displays the best scores for this game.  The scores are determined by all of the completed games.

Playing Again

If you are playing a game again with the same people, swipe left on the list item that includes the players that will be playing with you.  This will reveal the Play Again button.  Press this button to start the game with the same players.  You will still be able to order the players before scoring.

Deleting Game Instances

To delete a game instance, swipe left on the list item to reveal the Play Again and Delete buttons.  Press the Delete button to delete the game instance.  Don't worry, it's not an immediate action.  A dialog will be shown to allow you to confirm the deletion or cancel out of it.

NOTE:  Deleting a game that has ended will not impact the overall medal count for the players and the Leaderboard.

Notes

Custom notes can be added to a Game Instance as needed by clicking the Add Note text.  This allows you to capture notes associated with the game.

To access the Scoreboard, navigate from the Game to the Game Instance.  This will reveal the Scoreboard screen.  The Scoreboard screen will display different views based on the game settings

• Player name - the name of the player

• DEALER - tag to indicate the dealer for the round, if Track Dealer is enabled.  To set the dealer for round 1, tap the player who will be dealing first

• Score - the current overall score

• Progression - shows the progression value for the round

Adding Scores

Scores can be created by pressing the '+' icon in the app bar.  This will open a screen that allows you to enter the score for that round as well as change the progression value.

A custom keyboard allows you to enter complex mathematical equations.  To submit the value, click on the green arrow.

Editing Scores

Score for a round can be edited by pressing on the row that represents the round.  This will display the Score screen and allow you adjust scores for that round.

Deleting Scores

At this time, scores cannot be deleted.  If this is requested in the future, it will be added at that time. 

Ending a Game

When the game is complete, press the End Game button.  This will assign medals to the first, second, and third place winners and present a small summary of the game that can be shared with your players, friends, or family.

The Scoreboard History screen is useful for looking back at the game events including scores, who dealt, and the progressions (not shown here).

The Scoreboard Chart provides a visual representation of the accumulated scores.
