User Guide

Every path through TournaQ, from the first tap to the finished scorecard.

Home/TournaQ User Guide/Navigation & Settings

The app shell

Navigation & Settings

Where things are, and the few switches that change how the app looks and speaks. Three cards on the home screen lead into everything the app can do; More holds the screens beside that flow, and Settings holds the language, the appearance and the privacy options. Every screen on this page is shown in both palettes — the dark twin next to the light one, under the same caption.

Where everything is

Three cards on the home screen, and everything in the app sits under one of them.

TournaQ ArenaEvery format the app can run, and everything you have already run, underneath.
AdministrationPlayers, teams and groups, saved once and reused in every format.
MoreSponsoring, contact, settings and the beta — everything you open once, or once a season.
Quick GuideBelow the three cards sits the app in one picture — tap it for the full flow — and a link to tournaq.com for everything beyond the app.

Below the three destinations sits the Quick Guide — the app in one picture, tap for the full flow — and the More about TournaQ card with the link to tournaq.com.

Sponsoring & Promo, Contact & About, Settings and Become a Tester — four cards, in that order. The screens you need occasionally, kept out of the way of the ones you need mid-match.
Sponsoring & Promo
What is on it

Advertising and sponsorship pay for the continued development — the screen says so, and then gives you every way to be part of it.

Support TournaQThe reason the ads are there, and the ad slot itself, with a thank-you under it.

Every way to reach the team, and the documents you occasionally have to look up.

Become a Tester
Two routes in, one per platform

Testing new features before they are released — TestFlight on iOS, the tester program on Android.

iOS · Download via TestFlightA QR code that installs the beta directly. Signing up is optional here — it only helps us stay in touch.
iOS & Android · Scan to sign upThe same sign-up by QR code, or as a form if you are already on the device you are reading this on.
Android · Signing up is requiredTesters are added to the program by hand afterwards, so there can be a short wait.
Got a bigger idea?Organising a big tournament, missing a mode or a feature, needing support — tester requests are prioritised.

The TestFlight route at the top, the sign-up for both platforms under it, and the note that Android needs that sign-up before anything arrives.
Settings
Appearance sits in More › Settings, next to the language
Automatic follows whatever the phone is set to; Light and Dark pin it yourself. It is the whole app rather than a handful of screens — the same guide, read on a phone in a dark hall, looks like this.
LightThe Settings screen with language, appearance and privacy options
DarkThe Settings screen in dark mode, showing the Appearance chips
Where the switch is
Language and Appearance, one row of chips each. The change lands as you tap it and is remembered for next time — there is nothing to save and nothing to restart.
When a card is not built yet
LightA Coming Soon screen for Player Profiles with the feedback and email buttons
DarkA Coming Soon screen in dark mode
Coming soon
Tapping a format that has not shipped lands here rather than nowhere: what it will do, the page about it on the website, and the two ways to say what you need from it.
The app in dark
LightA tournament overview with the pill row, the schedule and every result so far
DarkA tournament overview in dark mode
The screen that stays open all afternoon
A running tournament: the pill row, the schedule and every result so far. This is the one an organiser looks at most, which is the reason the dark palette had to reach further than the settings screen.
LightA scorecard with the two team panels, the set line and the match actions
DarkA scorecard in dark mode
And the one a referee holds
Scores, serve, sides and the clock, in the same contrast as the rest. An evening session under floodlights is exactly when a white screen stops being readable.
