Match Management

Each match in the draw is a state machine: scheduled → in progress → completed, with side states for suspended and forfeit. Score entry happens through one of three roles — official scorekeeper, designated scorer, or a team delegate — chosen per competition. Real-time score tracking pushes updates to the live feed (SSE) the moment a mène ends.

The mène is the basic unit: which team scored, how many points, and optional cochonnet position. A configurable per-tenant/level match timer enforces total match time (Spain: 60 min, CEP: 75 min) and per-throw time (Spain: 30 seconds), each with distinct enforcement UI — the total clock counts down in the header while the throw timer flashes near the active player. When both teams reach the points-to-win, the result is confirmed by both captains or by the umpire on the spot.

If a team disputes the result, the score dispute resolution workflow flips the match into a held state, surfaces the conflicting entries side by side, and routes the matter to the appointed jury (see F05). Court change management lets the umpire move a match mid-play (broken court, weather) while preserving the score history. Match comments and incident reports record protests, fouls, behavioural issues, and weather interruptions.

Photo and video attachments support both routine documentation and disputed measurements — a referee can upload a phone shot of contested boules and tag it to the mène. Optional throw-level tracking lifts analytics another notch: every throw is classified as a point (portée/raspaille/donnée) or a tir (carreau/palet/raté), recorded as successful or missed, with distance from the cochonnet captured for the precision stats. The match timeline view replays the mène-by-mène progression, while forfeit and withdrawal handling propagate the result through standings, ranking points, and bracket advancement.
