Queuing a Round

Overview

Queuing a Round opens it for check-in. It's the first step in running a round — competitors line up and Deck Captain checks them in — and comes before Starting the round. In the Round Control panel this action is labeled Check-In.

Queuing is a Round Manager action available to Scrutineer.

What Happens When You Queue a Round

  1. The round's status changes to Queued.
  2. The round's dances are also queued, becoming visible to Adjudicators and Emcee.
  3. The event is marked Queued, if it wasn't already.
  4. If the competition was still in Closed Registration, it's moved to In Progress.
  5. The change is pushed out in real time, so Adjudicator, Emcee, and Deck Captain views update automatically.

Conditions for Queuing a Round

A round can be queued only if all of the following are true:

  • The competition is in Closed Registration or In Progress. Rounds can't be queued while registration is still open.
  • The round has at least one entry. An empty round can't be queued.
  • The round hasn't been Finalized. Once a round's results are finalized, it can no longer be queued.

Queue is only offered while the round is in Created status — once queued, the round's next available action becomes Start.

How to Queue a Round

  1. Open the competition's Scrutineer view and go to Round Manager.
  2. Select the round you want to queue from the side navigation.
  3. In the Round Control panel, click Check-In.
  4. Confirm in the dialog.

Once confirmed, the round shows a Queued status badge, and Deck Captain can begin checking entries in for it.
