No installation needed — iMatch321 runs entirely in your browser!

✅ What You Need

• A phone, tablet, or any device with an internet browser
• Optional: an iPad or tablet to serve as a digital scoreboard

📱 Getting Started

1. Open https://imatch321.com in your device’s browser.
2. Create a new competition — either a 1-on-1 match or a round-robin event.
3. Once created, a QR code will appear for connecting scoreboard and controllers.

📺 Set Up a Table-Side Scoreboard (Optional)

• Place an iPad on the umpire’s table, where a physical scoreboard would usually go.
• Open the match scoreboard using the match QR code.
• Important: Make sure auto-screen off is disabled on the device to keep the display active.

🎮 Use a Phone as a Remote Controller

• With your phone, scan the match QR code displayed on the scoreboard.
• The phone becomes a remote umpire control panel, allowing you to update scores in real-time.

That’s it — no app installs, no setup complexity. Just bring your gear, scan in, and play!
