Coach Guide

The coach dashboard is organized around one team in one tournament. After signing in, select Coach on the MockScores home screen, then choose your team and tournament.

If no tournament appears, confirm that your account uses the same email address the organizer invited. See Getting Started for access troubleshooting.

Recommended preparation workflow

1. Add your coaches and complete the roster.
2. On Roster, save default role assignments and witness call orders for each side.
3. When pairings are published, open Schedule and review the pairing-specific roles and call order.
4. Make all changes before the organizer locks the round.
5. After results are released, review results, ballots, and standings.

What locking means for coaches

The organizer locks a round to open scorer ballots. After locking, role assignments and call orders can no longer be edited.

If your team left a pairing-specific item unset, MockScores copies the team’s saved default roles or default call order when the organizer locks the round. Keep those defaults current even when no pairing has been published yet.

Caution

Do not wait until the scheduled start time to prepare. A round can be locked by an organizer, and any unsaved pairing-specific preparation will be replaced with the saved defaults.
