The Call-to-Mat system helps announcers track which matches are ready to be called to the mat. Trackwrestling provides two ways to manage bout announcements. Choose the option that best fits your tournament setup. To see the steps in action, check out the video below.

Option 1:

NOTE: The mat assignment display will show all of the matches that have been assigned to the mats. The Green rows are on the mat, the yellow matches are on deck, and the white ones are everything else. The matches are removed from the screen when the match result is entered into the system.

Option 1: Use the Mat Assignment Display

The Mat Assignment Display shows all bouts assigned to each mat.

By default:

  • Green rows indicate matches currently on the mat.
  • Yellow rows indicate on-deck matches.
  • White rows indicate all remaining assigned matches.

Matches are automatically removed from the display when their results are entered into the system.

Configure the Display

  1. Go to Operating > Mat Assignment Display.
  2. Select the information you want displayed in each column.
  3. Add the Announcer Box as the last column.
  4. Choose how often the display should refresh.
  5. Configure the scrolling settings.
    • For a smooth scroll, try 1 pixel every 0.05 seconds.
    • For a block scroll, try 500 pixels every 10 seconds.
  6. Select the desired font size.
  7. Click View Display.

Announce Bouts

Use the drop-down menus in the Announcer Box to indicate how many times each bout has been announced.

Tip

Display settings vary depending on your computer and display screen. Configure and save your preferred settings before tournament day by clicking Save Settings. On tournament day, you can simply click View Display and begin announcing bouts

Option 2:

  1. Click on Bout Detail in your Operating menu. Right-click on Bout Detail and choose to open the link in a new window.
  2. Change the drop-down in the Bout Filter on the left from Abbreviate Names to Show Full Names.
  3. The announcer should use the Printed and drop-down boxes to mark whether a bout has been announced or not. This works because announcing a bout with electronic bouts is like printing it when running a paper bout tournament.
  4. The announcer should periodically click the Go button in the Bout Filter on the left to see if there are any new bouts that are assigned to a mat but are not marked as Printed, and then call them to the mat and mark the bout as Printed.
