Spiel Sheets

2. Select the competition
3. Click Announcer in the competition menu

Close the popup by clicking Close when finished.

Understanding Missing Data

When a group hasn't submitted information for a field used in the spiel script:

Handling Missing Data

If a group's script shows missing information:

1. Contact the group - Ask them to submit the required data in their group settings
2. Skip the section - Announcers can skip over missing parts when reading
3. Improvise - Announcers can fill in if they know the information

No Script Configured

If you see a "No Spiel Script" message:

• A spiel script template hasn't been configured for your organization
• Contact your organization administrator
• They need to create a script in Settings > Spiel Scripts

Division and Round Organization

Groups are displayed grouped by:

1. Division - Panel headers show the division name
2. Round (if applicable) - Subdivided within divisions if multiple rounds exist
3. Performance order - Groups listed in their scheduled performance sequence

This organization helps announcers quickly locate the next group's script.

Best Practices

Before the Event

• Review all spiel sheets to identify missing data
• Contact groups with incomplete information
• Print backup copies for emergencies
• Test the print function before event day

During the Event

• Keep the Spiel Sheets page open on a tablet or laptop
• Use the View Spiel Sheet button to see one script at a time
• Have printed copies as backup
• Note any last-minute corrections needed

For Missing Information

If you encounter *** No response *** during announcements:

• Skip that section smoothly
• If you know the information, feel free to include it
• Make note to inform the group they need to update their submission
