What you will do
Open the live session fast
Use the live banner or app bar shortcut instead of hunting through menus when you arrive at the venue.
Track games and standings
Stay on top of your court assignment, match progress, and where you sit in the session without waiting for verbal updates.
Review the finished summary
When the session ends, the completed record moves into the group's Sessions history so you can revisit the final standings later.
Step 1
Open the live session as soon as you are marked active
When the session starts and you are included, Ladders surfaces a live entry point. That is the best place to check whether you are on court now, coming up next, or sitting this round.
- If you were selected from RSVP, expect the live entry point to appear close to game time.
- Use it instead of relying on hearsay around the courts.
- If you are sitting, check the standings tab too. It helps the whole room understand the rotation.
Step 2
Use the Games tab for court assignments and score entry
The Games tab shows the round filter, the active court, and the score state for each game. If score entry is part of your live flow, this is where your match card exposes the entry action after play.
- Submit only final non-tie scores.
- If the sheet shows a validation message, correct it there before leaving.
- After sync, the manager and other players should see the result too.
Step 3
Watch the standings tab during play and revisit the summary later
Standings are part of the live session view, so you can follow wins, losses, point differential, and placement as the room evolves. After the manager ends the session, the completed summary moves into the group history.
- Use the live standings tab for in-the-moment context.
- Use the completed session page for the finished record, podium, and saved AI recap.
- If your group uses AI insights, expect the post-session narrative to show up after closeout.
