Match Timer - myc
The Match Timer panel is used to start the match, track start/end time per phase, enter stoppage time, and record the score for each phase (e.g., 1st half, 2nd half, extra time). It also provides quick status indicators such as IN PROGRESS, BREAK, and FULL TIME.
By using the Match Timer, you can track the match events in real-time, e.g., for COMET LIVE apps and live match updates:
On the Live tab, you can find the 'Match phases' section.
By clicking on each section consecutively, you can add:
The exact Start time enables time counting in the application's background and picks a precise time of the match event.
End time of match phases. If you accidentally select the wrong time or start after some time when the referee has actually started the match, you can edit or remove the entry by clicking ‘Clear” button.
When the match is in progress, and you can add an actual match event (please refer to Match Events), the difference is that the event minute will be filled automatically from the time set at the Start of the 1st or 2nd half. In this case, click ‘Save’ to add the match event. If the match event minute is incorrect, you can always click on the minute and adjust it yourself.
