🎾 What is the Order of Play?
The Order of Play (OOP) is the official match schedule for any given day. It lists all matches, assigned
courts, approximate timings, and participating players. HitCourt ensures this is no longer a static PDF
stuck to a wall—it becomes a live, breathing tool.
📅 Create and Modify with Ease
- Assign matches to specific courts and time slots
- Drag-and-drop matches to reorganize easily
- Mark matches as "In Progress", "Delayed", or "Completed"
- Handle weather delays and court changes instantly
🔔 Player & Coach Notifications
Once the OOP is published, all involved players and their coaches are notified via email or SMS
(optional). This prevents confusion and last-minute rushes. Any live updates are pushed in real-time to
their dashboards.
📱 Mobile-Friendly Display
Whether you're on a phone, tablet, or laptop, the live Order of Play adjusts seamlessly for all screen
sizes. Players can check their match times while traveling to the venue or warming up courtside.
👨⚖️ Tools for Referees
Referees can update match statuses in real time—Mark matches as "Started", "Waiting", "Walkover", or
"Retired". They can also assign umpires, notify players, and leave match notes—all through one interface.
🔁 Live Synchronization
HitCourt syncs all changes to the cloud in real time. If a match is delayed due to rain on Court 2,
everyone knows instantly. If a court opens up early, matches can be advanced to optimize time.
🗂️ Archive Daily OOPs
Each day’s Order of Play is saved automatically, allowing organizers to review how schedules were
managed, how efficiently courts were used, and how punctual the event was. This is helpful for internal
reports and external audits.
🌐 Public & Private Views
Organizers can choose which matches appear publicly and which remain internal (e.g., practice matches,
replays, or trials). This ensures clarity for the public while maintaining internal flexibility.
