Where everything lives on the page you run a game from.

The top of the deck

The control deck with every section closed
  1. On air Every graphic that is live right now.
  2. Clock The match clock with start, pause and reset.
  3. Scoring A button per team, in its colours, with a correction minus.
  4. Sections Everything else, folded away until you need it.

Sections open and close with a click and remember how you left them. Each one shows its state on the right, so you can see what is on without opening it.
