Every match has its own page. It holds the match's details and settings, its streams and overlays, and a full record of every change. This article walks through each tab and explains when you can still make changes.
Open the match page
Go to the Matches tab and find the match, for example Harbour City (HCF) v Ridgeview (RVR) in the LIGR Demo League.
Open the menu at the end of the match's row.
Click Settings.
The match page opens on the Match tab. You'll also see the Streams and Overlays and Activity tabs along the top. Each tab is covered below.
Match tab
The Match tab shows the same details you set when you created the match. You can change anything here until the match starts. These are the fields you'll find:
Competition. The competition this match belongs to. It controls which teams you can pick.
Home and away teams. Only teams in the selected competition appear in the dropdowns.
Date and time. When the match starts.
Venue. Only venues created in Assets appear, such as LIGR Demo Stadium.
Live Scorer. Optional. The person who logs events in the LiveScore app.
Period config. Timing for this match, such as half length, half-time length, and whether extra time or a shootout is played. Options vary by sport.
Stats. Stat coverage, either Minimum for the essentials or Standard for more detail.
Players. Turn on player graphics and events, and choose which player events are logged.
Line-up settings. The starting line-up size and the most players allowed on the bench.
Advanced. Clock settings: whether to use a clock, count up or down, cumulative time and injury time.
These settings started as copies of your competition settings. Changing them here only affects this match. The competition, and every other match in it, stays as it is. This is handy for one-off fixtures, such as a cup match that needs extra time, or a match with a different kick-off time or venue.
Save your changes before you leave the page, otherwise they won't be kept.
When settings lock
Good to know: settings lock once the match starts. A match starts when the first LiveScore event comes in, or when your data provider starts sending data. After that, the Match tab is read only and you can't change the details or settings.
Check the period config, players and line-up settings before kick-off. This matters most if your live scorer opens LiveScore early and logs a test event, because that event counts as the match starting.
Streams and Overlays tab
This tab lists the streams and overlays for the match. It already has the defaults from your competition's Streams and Overlays settings, so most matches are ready to go without extra work.
If this match needs more, add them here. For example, you might want a second stream to another destination, or an extra overlay for a different output. Anything you add on this tab only applies to this match. Other matches in the competition keep their own defaults.
Before match day, it's worth opening this tab to confirm the stream and overlay you expect are listed. That way there are no surprises when it's time to go live.
Activity tab
The Activity tab is a record of every change made to this match, and who made it. Changes appear in order, so you can follow how the match was set up over time.
Use it when something looks different from what you expected, for example a changed kick-off time or a new live scorer. You'll see exactly what changed, when it changed and which team member made the change. It's especially useful when several people in your organisation manage the same matches.
Tips and common mistakes
I can't edit the match. It has started. Settings lock as soon as the first LiveScore event arrives, or when your data provider starts sending data.
A team is missing from the dropdown. The team isn't in the match's competition. Add it on the team's General tab, then come back.
A venue is missing. Create it in Assets first, then select it on the Match tab.
I changed the competition settings but this match didn't change. That's expected. Competition settings only apply to new matches. Change existing matches on their own Match tab.
My changes disappeared. Make sure you save before leaving the page.
