With the Registration System website loaded in Safari, do the following:

When finished, you should see the following icon on one of your home screen pages:

Save the Registration System to Your Home Screen - Android (Chrome)

1) With the Registration System website loaded, open the Google Chrome Browser Menu (the dots or lines on the left of the navigation bar)

2) Select: Add to Home Screen

3) Close the browser and look for the icon on your home page

When finished, you should see the following icon on one of your home screen pages:

Bracket Program SOS – In Case of Emergency

This information can be found inside the bracket program by clicking the SOS Icon:

A match is not appearing on the tablet. What do I do?

This information also appears in the addendum section of the Bracket Program Instructions.

If the tablet does not show the match listing, do the following:

Double-check that board has been assigned in the bracket program
Check that the tablet is successfully connected to Wifi and has an Internet connection, if no Internet, connect tablet and try again to update match list (Open a web browser and go to bing.com or msn.com to confirm you have Internet)
Make sure you have waited at least a few minutes for the match listing to update after clicking “Check for more matches”
Try to resolve these issues before resorting to “Create an Event Match” manual set up

If the match is still missing, create the match manually:

Click “Check for more matches”
Click the new RED button that appears that says “Create an Event Match”
Pick the correct event from menu
Select game from game menu
Select players from roster – there are duplicate player lists on the left and right. Pick one player/team from the list on left, then pick opponent from list on right.
Click green “Cork for Start” button
Pick the # of legs for this match, tap round # at top if applicable (i.e. Top 8, Top 4, etc)
Now play match as usual
You will NOT receive a toast result for this match but can manually advance the winner in the bracket by clicking on the winner’s name

I’ve advanced the wrong player as the winner - how do I fix this?

This information also appears in the addendum section of the Bracket Program Instructions.

How to Undo an Error

If you have advanced the wrong player or recorded an incorrect score:

Click Green Button “Undo (OFF)” in upper-right toolbar to toggle Undo Mode to ON
Click on the name of the player/team who was incorrectly advanced
You will see the player/team name moved back to previous position
Now select the correct winner and re-input correct score if prompted:

If for any reason you need to re-draw your bracket after you have saved it, you can use “Roll Back Event” to reset the event as long as no matches have been started.

To access the Roll Back Event tool, click the SOS Icon inside the bracket program and open these instructions:

Step 1. Select the event you wish to roll back, enter confirmation password and click the red button, “Roll it back”

Step 2. Return to Main Menu by clicking the Home Icon in the upper left corner:

I need to change a player or team after the draw is saved

This information also appears in the addendum section of the Bracket Program Instructions.

You can change any players, teams or Byes in the first round of a bracket for any match that has not yet started. This is commonly used to fill a Bye spot to accommodate a late entry or to add someone that was left out.

Step 1: Click the Player Swap button in the toolbar to open a list of first-round matches:

Step 2: Select the player (or Bye) you wish to replace, then click OK to confirm:

Step 3: Select the new player from the available player list (make sure new player(s) are checked into the Master Roster), then click Ok to confirm:

The bracket page will now auto-refresh to reflect the change.
