An Automated Game Plan runs your graphics automatically during a match. This article covers creating the game plan itself. Once it exists, you add playlists to it to control what plays and when.

Before you start
Your organisation needs the Broadcast Graphics module. Automation relies on graphics, so it isn't available without it.
Your graphics are built in Fuse and published to a Rive theme.
At least one competition uses that theme and has a theme profile. If no competition suits the theme and sport you pick, the competition list will be empty.
Create the game plan
Click Automation in the left sidebar. This opens the Automated Game Plans page, which lists any game plans your organisation already has.
Click Create Automated Game Plan (top right).
Enter a name. Choose something your team will recognise at a glance, for example "Harbour City Night Games". If you run more than one game plan for the same competition, include the output in the name, such as "LIGR Demo League 2026 Full Graphics" or "LIGR Demo League 2026 Scoreboard Only".
Choose the theme. The game plan can only use this theme's graphics, so pick the theme your matches actually go to air with. Every graphic you add to a playlist later comes from this theme's library.
Choose the sport. This tells LIGR Live which competitions and match events are relevant to the game plan.
Choose the competitions to assign the game plan to. Only competitions that suit the selected theme and sport are listed. You can assign one game plan to several competitions if they share the same theme and sport.
For each competition, choose the theme profile(s) this game plan should apply to.
Click Create Automated Game Plan to save.
What happens next
Once you click create, the game plan opens, ready for its first playlist. At this stage it has no playlists, so it won't play anything on air yet. Playlists hold the graphics, ads and multimedia, along with the triggers that decide when each item plays (for example pre-match, breaks or in-game moments).
Your new game plan also appears in the Automated Game Plans list, showing its sport, theme, competitions and its created and updated dates.
You can also link a game plan to a theme profile from the Themes tab. Open the theme profile, go to DETAILS & SETTINGS, and use the Automation & Control Room section to assign a game plan.
Edit, rename or delete a game plan
Use the three-dot menu on the game plan's row to:
Edit settings: change the name, sport, competitions and theme profiles.
Edit playlists: open the game plan to add, change or remove playlists.
Delete: remove the game plan. Competitions that used it will no longer have it assigned.
Tips and common mistakes
Can't find your competition? Check the theme and sport you selected. A competition only appears if it suits both.
Include the competition or season in the name, such as "LIGR Demo League 2026/27", so plans are easy to tell apart next season.
Name playlists after their moment when you add them, such as "Pre-Game 8 Minutes From KO", "HT Playlist" or "Goal".
Changes apply straight away. Edits to a game plan apply to every competition using it as soon as you save. Refresh any overlay that's already open so it picks them up.
There's no version history. Before making big changes to a plan that's in use, note down its current settings so you can put them back if needed.
