🔐

Step 1 — Open the App & Sign In

▼

The app on first open — tap Log in to get started

1

Open K6PSM in your browser or app

Navigate to k6psm.com or open the K6PSM app. You'll see the Players screen with a "Welcome to K6PSM" prompt.
2

Tap "Log in" in the top-right header

The login panel slides up showing two tabs: Sign In and Sign Up.
3

New user? Tap Sign Up

Enter your Full Name, Email Address, and a Password (minimum 8 characters, must include upper and lower case letters and a number). Re-enter your password to confirm it. Tap Create Account.

A password strength meter shows as you type — aim for Good or Strong.
4

Returning user? Sign In

Enter your email and password then tap Sign In. If you've forgotten your password, tap Forgot password? below the password field — a reset link is sent to your email instantly.
5

You're signed in

Your name and role badge appear in the header. New accounts start as Member. Admin is a paid tier with a free 21-day trial — see Admin Guide for how to start your trial and upgrade.

The Sign In form — email and password fields with white background

Email already registered? If you try to Sign Up with an email that already has an account, the app will prompt you to Sign In instead rather than creating a duplicate account.

📁

Step 2 — Create a Session

Admin

▼

A session is a named container for a set of players and rounds — one session per playing day is the usual approach. Admins create and manage sessions; members and guests can view them.

The new session wizard — name, courts, mode and format in one step

1

The wizard opens automatically on first use

When you sign in as an Admin with no existing session, the Set Up Your Session wizard appears automatically. On subsequent uses, tap the session name in the header or the + Create New Session button on the Players screen.
2

Enter a session name

The name is pre-filled with today's date (e.g. "Tuesday 10 June Session"). Change it to anything meaningful — "Club Night", "Tournament Day 1", etc.
3

Set the number of courts

Use the − and + buttons to set how many courts are available. The app uses this to calculate how many players sit out each round.
4

Choose Play Mode and Format

Mode: 🏸 Doubles (4 players per court) or 🎾 Singles (2 players per court).

Format:
• 🎲 Random Partner — partners and opponents change each round. Best for social sessions.
• 🏔 Summit Rumble — winners move up courts, losers move down. Skill levels naturally separate.
• 🪜 Ladder Climb — seeded by DUPR rating from Round 1. Best-vs-best from the start.
5

Tap "Create Session & Add Players"

The session is created and saved to Firebase. You land on the Matches tab where the Session Setup panel is open — confirm your settings look right, then tap Players in the bottom nav to add players.

Returning sessions: Tap the session name in the header at any time to open the Sessions picker. Previous sessions are listed with their last-updated time — tap any to reload it, or use the + Create row at the top to start a new one.

👥

Step 3 — Add Players

Admin

▼

Players tab — Playing/Sitting out count bar, player cards with toggle icons

1

Tap the blue + button (bottom right)

The Add Player sheet slides up. Enter the player's name and optionally their DUPR rating. Tap Add Player. Repeat for each player.
2

Or use Player Management for bulk add

Tap Player Management in the top-right of the Players tab. This shows all club members — tick the ones present today and tap Add Selected to Session. Much faster for regular players.
3

Watch the count bar update

The Playing / Sitting out bar above the player list updates in real time. Green check = active; grey minus = not included in the next generated round.
4

Mark players as sitting out

Tap the green circle icon on any player card to toggle them between Playing and Not playing in the next generated round. The count bar updates instantly. Sitting-out players are completely excluded from match generation until you re-include them.
5

Ready to generate

When enough players are active (at least 4 for doubles, 2 for singles), the ⚡ Generate Matches banner appears at the top of the Players tab. Tap it to go straight to the Matches tab and generate your first round.

Minimum players: You need at least 4 active players for Doubles (fills 1 court) and at least 2 for Singles. The amber hint bar below the count shows exactly how many more you need.

🎯

Step 4 — Generate Matches

Admin

▼

Matches tab after Round 1 — court cards with score inputs, generate button at bottom

1

Tap "Matches" in the bottom navigation

The Matches tab opens with the Session Setup panel. Confirm the courts, mode and format are correct — if not, tap the panel header to expand it and adjust.
2

Tap "⚡ Generate Round" at the bottom

The button briefly shows ⏳ Generating… then the round appears. Court cards show team matchups with colour-coded court numbers.
3

Check the Sitting Out and Not Included rows

Below each round header you'll see:
• 🪑 Sitting Out — players the algorithm rotated off this round (fair rotation across rounds).
• 🚫 Not Included — players you manually excluded (unchecked) from all rounds until re-included.
4

Not happy with the matchups? Tap ↺ Regenerate

The refresh button (next to the Generate button) regenerates the current round with a new random draw — same constraints, new assignments.

Sit-out rotation: The algorithm tracks who has sat out across all rounds and prioritises players who have sat out the most to play next. The rotation is automatic and fair.

🏆

Step 5 — Enter Scores

▼

A completed court card — winning team in green, score saved automatically

1

Tap a score input field on a court card

Each court card has two score fields — one per team. Tap either field to open the number keyboard. Any logged-in user (Member or Admin) can enter scores.
2

Type the score and move to the next field

Enter the score (e.g. 11) and tap the next field. Scores save to Firebase as soon as you leave the field — no extra Save button needed. The winning team's card turns green and shows a WIN badge.
3

Check the forecast (optional)

If players have DUPR ratings, a 📈 Forecast shows below the match — a predicted score based on average team ratings. This is informational only.

Guests cannot enter scores. If someone taps a score input without being signed in, they'll see a "Sign in to enter scores" prompt.

Let players enter their own scores. On the Sessions tab, tap 📱 Player Scoreboard QR Code — players scan it with their phone and can enter scores for their own court straight from the K6 Player Scorecard, no login required. If you ever enter or correct a score yourself in K6PSM, that always overrides what a player entered. See the Player Scorecard tab above for the full rundown.

📊

Step 6 — View Standings & End Session

▼

Standings Results tab — 🥇🥈🥉 medals for the top 3, ranked by Win %

1

Tap "Standings" in the bottom navigation

The Results sub-tab shows all players ranked by Win %, with 🥇🥈🥉 medals for the top three. Each row shows Wins/Losses, Win %, and Points Difference.
2

View the Head 2 Head matrix

Tap the Head 2 Head sub-tab to see who has played with and against whom. Tap any player row to see their full partner and opponent history across all rounds.
3
Download results
Tap the Downloads sub-tab. Available exports:
- Match Schedule — all rounds, courts and scores as CSV
- Player Results — final standings with Win % and points
- Results Share Card — a branded leaderboard image to share
- Session Wrap-up — highlights card (top player, best partnership, etc.)
4

End the session (Admin)

When the day is done, tap 🏁 End Session in the Matches tab header. A modal lets you download all results before choosing to either view Final Standings or start a new session. Session data is never deleted from this flow — it stays saved in Firebase.

Sessions

Admin

▼

A session is a named container for players and rounds. All data is saved to Firebase in real time and scoped to your club.

Creating a Session

1
Tap "Create New Session" on the Players tab empty state — or tap the session name in the header
The Session Wizard opens. It also opens automatically when you sign in as an Admin with no existing session.
2
Enter a name, courts, mode and format
See Step 2 in the Quick Start guide for full details on each setting.
3
Tap Create Session
You land on the Matches tab with the Session Setup panel open to confirm your settings. All settings can be changed at any time before generating a round by tapping the Session Setup panel header.

Switching & Managing Sessions

1
Open the Session Picker
Tap the session name in the header (Admins only — members see the name as plain text). The picker shows all sessions with the active session pinned at top with a ● Active badge and last-updated timestamp.
2
Create a new session from the picker
The + Create row is always visible at the top of the picker — type a name and tap Create without needing to scroll.
3
Rename or delete a session
Each session row has a ✏️ rename button and a 🗑 delete button. Deleting permanently removes the session from Firebase.

Session Setup panel: On the Matches tab, the Session Setup card (with a yellow left border when unconfigured) controls courts, mode and format. It auto-opens when you switch to the Matches tab with no rounds yet. Collapse it by tapping the header.

Display Board & Player Scorecard QR Codes

Once a session is active, its bar on the Sessions tab shows two buttons (Admins only): 📺 Display Board QR Code and 📱 Player Scoreboard QR Code. Tap either to bring up a large QR code for that destination — scan the Display Board one on a clubhouse TV or tablet, and share the Player Scoreboard one for players to scan on their own phones. See the Display Board and Player Scorecard tabs above for what each side sees once connected.

Player Cards

Each player has a card showing their name, rating, and status.

	Element	Meaning / Action
✅	Green toggle icon	Player is active — included in the next generated round. Tap to toggle.
➖	Grey toggle icon	Player is excluded — Not playing in the next generated round. Card is greyed out with a dashed border. Tap to re-include.
›	Chevron button	Opens the player action sheet (Admin only) — edit name/rating, remove player, set forced partnerships.

Count Bar & Threshold Hint

Above the player list:

Amber hint — appears when fewer than the minimum players are active. Shows exactly how many more are needed (e.g. "Need 2 more active players to generate a round (4 minimum for doubles).")
⚡ Generate Matches banner — appears above the sort row once enough players are active. Tap it to jump to the Matches tab.

Sorting Players

Use the sort buttons to reorder the list. Options: Order Added (default), Name (A→Z / Z→A toggle), Rating (high→low / low→high toggle).

Forced Pairs & Opponents

Open the player action sheet
Tap the › on a player card to open their action sheet (Admin only).
2
Set "Must Partner With"
Choose a partner — they will always be on the same team in the next generated round. The dropdown appears only after tapping the option.
3
Set "Must Play Against"
Choose an opponent — the algorithm places them on opposing teams in the next round.

Forced pairs apply to the next generated round only — they are not carried forward automatically.

Removing Players

Open the player action sheet → Remove Player. Or use Player Management → select multiple → Remove Selected for bulk removal. Removing a player who has played in previous rounds removes them from the player list but keeps the historical round data intact.

Entering Scores

See Quick Start Step 5. Any logged-in user can enter scores. Scores save automatically on field exit. The winning team's card turns green; standings update in real time on the Standings tab.

Player Scorecard & QR Codes

On the Sessions tab, the active session bar has a dedicated 📱 Player Scoreboard QR Code button alongside the Display Board one. Players scan it to open the K6 Player Scorecard — a mobile-first view of their own rounds where they can enter scores without signing in.

When a player submits a score for the currently open round, a green "Player entered X-Y — tap to accept" badge appears on that court's card here in K6PSM. Tap the badge to pull the value straight into your own score field.

Host entries always win. Whatever you enter or edit directly in K6PSM overwrites any score a player submitted from their scorecard — before or after the fact, locked round or not. See the Player Scorecard tab for the full player-side workflow.

Game Timer

1
Tap the ⏱ timer button on the Matches tab
The timer panel slides in. Set minutes and seconds, then tap ▶ Start.

🎛️

Kiosk Dashboard Mode

▼

Turn it on from Settings → Kiosk Dashboard → On. Whenever there's no live round to display — before a session connects, between rounds, or with no session at all — the board shows an ambient screen instead of the plain waiting spinner: club announcements, the court layout, a game timer, and other sessions you run, all rotating on tiles.

The moment a real round comes through from K6PSM, the board always snaps straight back to the normal live scoreboard — Kiosk mode never hides an actual match in progress.

Tile	What it shows
📢 Club Announcements	Rotates through announcements managed in Settings → Session Displayboard → Manage Club Info & Announcements.
⏱ Game Timer	Runs and displays the round timer even with no phone connected — see below.
🏆 Court Allocation	Shows your configured courts and groups; doubles as the Court Draw panel when Draw Mode is active — see below.
📍 Other Sessions	Rotates through other sessions/venues your club runs, managed in the same tab.

Court Draw Mode

A digital "pick a card" court draw. Set up your session groups (Competitive, Social, etc.) in Settings → Kiosk Dashboard → Court Allocation first, each with its own courts.

Tap the 🃏 Court Draw button in the corner of the Court Allocation tile to switch it on. Players then tap a panel for their group and get randomly handed an open court — capped at 4 players per court. The Club Announcements and Other Sessions tiles temporarily become the draw panels while this is active (1–2 groups use one tile each; 3–4 groups split a tile into two).

Don't want a group in the draw? Untick "Include in Court Draw" next to that group in the Court Allocation editor — handy for Skills & Drills or Come 'n' Try sessions where players just head straight to their courts. New Round (bottom-right of the tile, once Draw Mode is on) clears every court back to empty, and also resets automatically the moment the Game Timer is started.

Game Timer

Works two ways at once: start/pause/stop it from K6PSM on your phone, or directly from the board itself — either device reflects what the other one does, so the board can run the whole timer, sounds included, with no phone connected at all. Board-side buttons need a second tap to confirm (they'll pulse red) so a stray tap can't stop or reset a game clock by accident. Sounds — game start, the 5-second countdown, and the end alarm — are configurable from Settings → Kiosk Dashboard → Timer → Timer Sound, including which alarm plays.

🧰

Customising & Securing the Kiosk

▼

1
Per-tile settings
In Settings → Kiosk Dashboard, each tile — Club Announcements, Game Timer, Court Allocation, Other Sessions — has its own button. Tap one to open that tile's own settings: tile title, font size, text alignment, and (where relevant) how long each item stays on screen before rotating. Tapping the small ⚙ gear icon directly on a tile jumps straight to that tile's settings.
2
Settings PIN
The ⚙ gear asks for a 4-digit PIN before Settings opens, to stop casual taps on a public tablet from changing anything. The default PIN is 0000 — change it any time from Settings → General → Change Settings PIN. There's no recovery flow if you forget a custom PIN, so jot it down somewhere safe.
3
CSV import & export
Both Club Info & Announcements and Other Sessions & Venues support bulk editing via CSV. Export downloads a CSV with each item's ID included; importing that file back updates any row with a matching ID, adds any row with a blank ID as new, and deletes any existing item whose ID isn't in the file anymore. Every import shows a confirmation first.
4
Undo
Deleting a Club Info entry, an Other Session, a Court Allocation template, or running a CSV import all show a brief "Undo" banner at the bottom of the screen afterwards. Tap it within about 10 seconds to reverse exactly what just happened.

⚙️

Settings & Options

▼

1
Open Settings

4
Fullscreen
Tap the ⛶ fullscreen button in the toolbar. Recommended for TVs and projectors to eliminate the browser chrome.
5
Screen wake lock
The Display Board requests a wake lock automatically to keep the screen on. If the device dims, tap anywhere to re-activate it.

🔧

Troubleshooting

▼

Problem	Solution
Board not updating	Check the connection dot is green. Confirm K6PSM is connected to a Firebase session and the Display ID matches.
Camera says "can't ask for permission"	Chrome Settings → Site Settings → Camera → find the Display Board URL → change to Allow. Or: Android Settings → Apps → Chrome → Permissions → Camera → Allow.
Screen keeps sleeping	Tap to re-activate the wake lock. On Android, enable "Screen stays on while charging" in Developer Options.
Player names truncated	Switch to the 2-column or landscape view for more space, or shorten names in K6PSM.
Timer not showing	Confirm the Display Board is connected to the same session running the timer in K6PSM.
Not Included banner missing	This only appears if players are unchecked in K6PSM before the round is generated. Check the Players tab toggles.

K6 Player Scorecard

Every player can view their own rounds and enter their own scores on their phone — no login, no app to install. Just scan a QR code shown by the host.

Getting Players Connected

▼

1
Host taps 📱 Player Scoreboard QR Code on the Sessions tab
It sits right next to the 📺 Display Board QR Code button on the active session bar — a separate button for a separate destination. Tapping it displays a large QR code that encodes a direct link to that session.
2
Players scan with their own phone camera
No app, no account, no PIN. The link opens the Player Scorecard straight into that session — scanning is the only step.
3
The QR code can be shown any time
Toggle it on the Display Board or via the header modal whenever new players arrive — it doesn't need to be left up permanently, and it doesn't interrupt the Display Board's live match view when it's off.

There's no player sign-in. Anyone with the QR or link can see the live rounds and enter scores for their own matches — this is by design, to keep it fast on a busy court.

Viewing Rounds & Scores

▼

1
Scroll through court cards
Unlike the Display Board's single-screen grid, the Player Scorecard is a mobile-first vertical scroll — one court card per round, easy to thumb through on a phone.
2
Find your court
Sitting-out and not-included players are pinned at the top of the list with the same red/grey banners used on the Display Board, so it's obvious at a glance if you're not playing this round.
3
Switch rounds with the round selector
Tap the round selector to flip back and check a previous round's score, or forward once the host has generated the next one.
4
Check the forecast
Same DUPR-based forecast score shown in K6PSM and on the Display Board, calculated the same way, appears here too when players have ratings set.

🏆

Entering Scores

▼

1
Tap your court card to open the score entry modal
Enter each team's score and confirm. There's no separate save button beyond confirming the modal — the score is pushed live straight away.
2
The host sees it appear instantly
A green "Player entered X–Y — tap to accept" badge appears on the host's matching court card in K6PSM the moment a player submits a score for an unlocked round.
3
Anyone on the court can enter it
There's no ownership check tying a score entry to a specific player — any device viewing that round can submit a score for it, same as calling it out to the host.

The host in K6PSM always wins. If the host enters or edits a score directly in K6PSM — before or after a player submits one on the scorecard — the host's entry is authoritative and overwrites whatever the player entered. A locked round (see below) also blocks any further player-side edits, but never blocks the host.

🔒

Locked Rounds

▼

1
Rounds lock automatically
Generating a new round in K6PSM auto-locks the previous one. Tapping 🏁 End Session locks the final round too.
2
A locked round shows "scores submitted/locked"
Once locked, the player scorecard shows this indicator on that round and no longer accepts new score entries for it from players.
3
The host can still override a locked round
Locking only applies to player-side edits. The host can go back into any past round in K6PSM at any time and correct a score directly — locked or not.

My Results, Standings & Settings

▼

1
Tap 👤 My Results for your own history
Since there's no login, pick your name from the dropdown at the top of the modal first. It then shows your personal standings line plus a round-by-round log of your results for the session — same scoring and tie-break logic used on the Standings tab.
2
Tap 🏆 Standings for the full leaderboard
Standings only count locked/reconciled rounds, so the table won't shift around while scores are still being entered for the round in progress.
3
Tap ⚙️ for display settings
Toggle dark or light theme and adjust player name text size — the same settings available on the Display Board.
4
Get a toast when a new round drops
A toast notification appears on the Player Scorecard (and the Display Board) the moment the host generates a new round, so players know to check their next court.

The K6 Player Scorecard sits outside this table — players scan a QR code and enter scores for their own court with no sign-in at all. It's a convenience layer on top of K6PSM, not a replacement for these roles: any score you enter directly in K6PSM as host always overrides a player's scorecard entry.

Typical Session Day Workflow

▼

1
Sign in and create a new session
Tap the session name or the "Create New Session" button. Use the wizard to set the name, courts, mode and format.
2
Connect the Display Board and share the Player Scorecard (both optional)
On the Sessions tab, tap 📺 Display Board QR Code for the TV/tablet, and separately tap 📱 Player Scoreboard QR Code for players to scan and enter their own scores from their phone.
3
Add today's players
Use Player Management to add from your club roster, or use the + FAB to add individually.
4
Mark any latecomers or absentees
Tap the toggle on a player card to exclude them — the count bar and Generate button update immediately.

Tap ⚡ Generate Round. Start the game timer if using it.
6
Enter scores after each round
Any signed-in user can enter scores on the Matches tab, or players can enter their own via the Player Scorecard on their phone. Standings update in real time either way, and your entry in K6PSM always overrides a player's.
7
Generate subsequent rounds
Tap ⚡ Generate Next Round. The algorithm tracks who has sat out to ensure fair rotation.
8
End session and share results
Tap 🏁 End Session → download the Share Card or Results CSV → view Final Standings or start a new session.
