Overview
Creating a single match in LIGR Live sets up a scheduled sporting event between two teams. You'll select the competition, home and away teams, date and time, venue, and configure match settings like period length, stat coverage, player settings, and lineup configuration. Once created, you can either return to the Matches table or immediately configure streams and overlays for the match.
Prerequisites
* At least one competition must be created in the Assets section
* At least two teams must be created and assigned to the competition
* At least one venue must be created in the Assets section
How to Create a Single Match
1. Click CREATE MATCH in the top right corner of the Matches page
2. Select the competition from the dropdown
3. Select the home team from the dropdown
4. Select the away team from the dropdown
5. Set the match date using the date picker
6. Set the match time
7. Select the venue from the dropdown
8. (Optional) Assign a live scorer from the dropdown
Period Configuration
If your competition has pre-configured match settings, these fields will auto-fill. Otherwise, configure them manually based on your sport.
For football example:
* Half length: Duration of each half (e.g., 45 minutes)
* Half time length: Duration of half-time break (e.g., 15 minutes)
* Toggle on Extra Time if needed
* Toggle on Shootout if needed
Settings vary by sport and will display different options based on the selected competition.
Stat Coverage
Select the level of statistical coverage for the match:
* Minimum: Basic match events only
* Standard: Full statistical coverage
Player Settings
* Toggle on PLAYERS if you want player-specific graphics and events to be tracked
* Select player event capture level from the dropdown:
* All player events: Capture all player-related match events
* Major only: Capture only major events like goals and cards
* Team list only: Display team rosters without event tracking
Lineup Settings
Configure roster size based on your sport:
* Starting lineup size: Number of players in the starting lineup (e.g., 11 for football)
* Max bench size: Maximum number of substitute players (e.g., 7 for football)
Advanced Settings
* Use Clock: Must be enabled for the match clock to display on graphics (enabled by default)
* Clock Direction: Choose whether the clock counts up from 0 or counts down from the match length
* Cumulative: Toggle on for cumulative timing across periods
* Injury Time: Toggle on to track injury time or stoppage time (football)
* Stop at Length OR Tick Until End: Choose clock behavior when reaching the end of the period
Completing Match Creation
After configuring all settings, choose one of two options:
* Click CREATE AND RETURN to save the match and return to the Matches table
* Click CREATE AND CONFIGURE STREAMS AND OVERLAYS to save the match and immediately proceed to stream and overlay setup
Important Notes
* Match settings cannot be edited once the match has started (either from the LiveScore app or external data provider)
* Only teams assigned to the selected competition will appear in the home and away team dropdowns
* If your competition has pre-configured match settings in Assets, those settings automatically apply to new matches created under that competition
