Technical requirements for competition organizer to use the service

Best effort has been made to optimize the user interface for mobile phones (Android, iPhone), so tablets and personal computers work for sure. However, some interfaces, especially for competition organizer, are best with tablet or PC. Live scoring has been optimized only for tablets.

It is recommed to use latest version of the Chrome, as it has been used during the developments and testing. User interface 'should' work with other browsers, but better to test first.

Credits

This software has been used in nine national competitions during 2022-2023 in Finland, including Finnish Championchips.
