My Event

My Event follows your matches for you. Open it once when an event starts and leave it up — it tells you when you're playing, which court to go to, and who you're up against, and it updates on its own as the night goes on.

You never have to hunt through the roster or the schedule to find your own game.

Getting to it

On the event page, tap My Event in the header.

It appears once you're registered and the event is out of draft, so you can open it before things start — you'll see your first match and its court while you're still finding a parking space.

Note

Leave the page open. It updates by itself within a second or two of anything changing, so you don't need to refresh or keep checking back.

What it tells you

When you're up

You're up Head to Court 3. with Marie Against Dave & Sam

Tap Start scoring and you're in the scorer for that match.

On a doubles event it names your partner too, which matters most in Partner Switch, where your partner changes every round.

When you're nearly up

You're up next on Court 3 Another game is on that court first. This opens as soon as it finishes.

If there's more than one game queued in front of you it says so, and the heading changes to Coming up — because you aren't next yet:

Coming up on Court 3 2 games are on that court before yours. This opens once they are done.

You'll also see this if someone in your match is still finishing an earlier game, or — in a knockout — if the matches feeding into yours haven't finished yet.

When you're sitting a round out

If the round being played right now is one you have a bye in, the card says so rather than skipping ahead to your next match:

Round 2 · Bye You're sitting this round out Your next match is Round 3 on Court 1.

It moves on as soon as your next match is actually ready — your court clear and nobody in your match still playing — rather than waiting for every game in the bye round to finish.

When you're waiting in a queue

On a queued event there's no fixed schedule, so instead you get your place in line:

Waiting for a game You're #4 in the queue. You've played 2 of 6 games. You'll be told which court when you're drawn.

The court isn't known in advance on a queued event — it's decided at the moment your game is drawn, so that's when you'll see it.

Your other matches

Under your current match is a list of everything else you're playing in this event, split into Upcoming and Past. The Past tab only appears once you've finished a match.

Your current match at the top says which round it is too.

Upcoming shows everything you still have to play — the round, the court, who you're playing and who you're playing with. Whatever is happening right now — your current match, or a bye you're sitting out — is marked Now in the list, so the list is always the full picture. A round you're sitting out is listed as a Bye, so a gap in the rounds is never left unexplained:

R2 · Court 1 with Echo T. -vs- Kilo T. & Juliett T.

R3 · Bye You sit this round out

A bye stays listed while that round is still being played, and drops off once the round finishes.

Past is your history for the event — each match you've finished, with who you played, the score (yours first) and whether you won, plus any round you sat out, marked Bye. A bye carries no score and no result, because nobody played it, but it's still part of your event.

On a queued event there are no rounds to number, so those rows just show the court.

In a knockout nothing is listed beyond your current match — you're only ever in one at a time, and the next one depends on who wins. The page says so rather than leaving a gap.

Taking a break

On a queued event you can step out of the draw without leaving. Nobody will pick you for a new game until you're back.

There are two places to do it, because they answer different moments:

  • While you're playing — the ⏸ Sit out button in the top row of the scorer, next to 🆘 Need help?. Use this when you know you need to disappear as soon as this game ends.
  • While you're waiting — Sit this one out at the bottom of My Event.

Either way you stay checked in and stay in the event; you're just not in the draw. Tap ↩ Back in or I'm back in when you're ready, and you rejoin the queue.

Note

Coming back doesn't jump you onto a court. It means "include me in the next draw", so you'll be picked when a court next frees up.

Your organizer can also do this for you — just tell them.

Getting a nudge on your phone

Organizers can switch on notifications for an event, so you get a push when your match is ready, and optionally a heads-up shortly before.

Both are off unless the organizer turns them on, and you can always turn them off for yourself in your own notification settings.

Heads up

On an iPhone or iPad, notifications only work if you've added Skoryd to your Home Screen. See installing the app.

Asking for help

The scorer's top row has a 🆘 Need help? button. Tap it and the organizers running the event get an alert — useful for a scoring disagreement, a rules question, or anything you'd otherwise go looking for someone about.

Why can't I score yet?

If My Event shows your match but no Start scoring button, it will tell you which of these it is:

  • Another game is on that court first — yours opens the moment that one finishes.
  • You have an earlier match still to finish — play that one first.
  • Someone in this match is still finishing an earlier game — you're waiting on them, not the other way round.
  • Your opponents are still being decided — the matches feeding into yours haven't finished.
  • The organizer has set this match aside — it's been postponed or called off.

Scoring also doesn't open until the organizer starts the event, even if the schedule is already up.
