## How the match kiosk works

Scoring software (e.g. Shooting House) sends data to POST /update_match_data; the site persists JSON and displays it in /match/{uuid}. Flags control squads, verify and combined. sync_time indicates last update — pages use Smart Refresh to reload when there is a change.

## What do you see on each screen

Main page of the match: links to division, stages, squads, athlete verification and combined (if enabled). By stage: ranking on stage. Totals: summary with percentage. Charts: Chart.js in the match itself (/match/{id}/graphs).

## Integrations and external screens

GET /match/{id}/json returns gzip snapshot with cache. GET /match/{id}/last_update for lightweight polling. Ideal for club screens and companion apps. Technical documentation on cloud.md §9.

## Imported vs live matches

Live: match kiosk. After the match, many steps also enter the import hub (/list) for historical and comparative analysis — two complementary paths.

## m.scoring.services — matches transmitted on cell phones

Every match configured for live public viewing appears on the kiosk. On smartphone, https://m.scoring.services/ offers scores, divisions and periodic updates. On stream, the same data feeds the OBS overlay — set up at /pages/live-stream-overlay, /pages/overlay-obs-studio or /pages/overlay-obs-studio. With PractiScore, ps-leaderboard syncs tablets and hotsite — see /pages/practiscore-leaderboard.

## From phone scoreboard to stream overlay

Athletes open https://m.scoring.services/, pick the match and follow verify, divisions and combined. The organizer, at /my-account/practiscore, uses Overlay config and Set up overlay to generate the URL for OBS Browser Source. It is the same data layer: every score validated in PractiScore updates the hotsite, mobile kiosk and stream overlay within seconds. Edit manual: /pages/practiscore-edit-match.

## Match hotsite — same source as overlay

## Frequently asked questions

### How often does the scoreboard update?

It depends on the sending of the scoring house; the site checks every ~60s (Smart Refresh) or faster on the overlay APIs (~1s for last shot).

### My match does not appear in https://m.scoring.services/

Must be active and show_front when registering; the organizer configures receiving data.

### Link to a specific match?

/match/{match_id} — substitua pelo UUID da prova.

### Where can I follow the match on my cell phone?

Use https://m.scoring.services/ — mobile version of the kiosk. On your computer, the list is in https://m.scoring.services/.
