Sessions

A session is one club night (or one event). You create it, run your games on it, and end it when the night is done. Everything that happens - games, attendance, payments, rating changes - is recorded against that session and kept.

This page is reference. For a walkthrough of running one, see Run your first club night.

Live and recent sessions

The Sessions page lists your club’s sessions in two groups:

• Live sessions - created or in progress, not yet ended.
• Recent sessions - ended. Their games, stats and payments are preserved and read-only.

Each row shows the session’s name, its profile, venue, scheduled date and time (if set), and when it was created and last updated.

Creating a session

Use Create session and set:

Field	Required	Notes
Profile	Yes	A saved set of defaults for the session (courts, scoring, pricing and so on). Pick the profile that matches the night.
Session name	No	A label for this specific session (up to 80 characters). Leave it blank to fall back to the profile name.
Venue	No	Where it is being played (up to 120 characters).
Scheduled date and time	No	When it starts. Can be set in the future, so you can prepare sessions in advance.

You can have more than one session in flight at once - useful if you prepare several nights ahead, or run parallel halls. When you start another while one is already live, ePegboard confirms first so you do not open one by accident.

What the board header shows

The session board header reads as date and time | venue | name, with any empty parts left out. The name shown is your session name if you set one, otherwise the profile name - so a header ending in ”| Default” just means the session is using a profile your club named “Default”.

Starting a session

Starting a session opens the session board (the kiosk view) straight away - that is where you run the night. Only owners and admins can start a session; standard members can view but not run it.

The session board. The tabs run along the top; the settings cog and End session button are top-right.

The session board tabs

• Pegboard - the live board: courts, the waiting queue, the next-game prep panel and score entry. This is where you run play. (It closes when the session ends.)
• Attendee Stats - who is in, check-in times, court-time share, win rates and rating changes for the night.
• Completed Games - the full log of games played, with lineups and scores.
• Payments - per-attendee cost for the night, and what is paid or outstanding.

Some clubs also see an Insights tab (deeper performance analytics) where it is enabled.

Session settings

The settings cog (top-right of the board) opens that session’s settings. They are per-session - changing them affects this session only, not your saved profile. You can set:

• Number of courts and prep panels
• Scoring: game-over score and maximum score
• Pricing: full member, trial and guest costs
• Sticky pairs (players to keep partnered this session)
• How the leaderboard ranks (win % or rating change)

For what the picking-related settings do and how to tune them for your club, see The game picker. Only owners and admins can change session settings.

Ending a session

End session (top-right) closes the night. When you end a session:

• Anyone still checked in is checked out automatically, timestamped at the end.
• All games, attendance, payments and rating changes are saved, and the session moves to Recent sessions as read-only.
• The live Pegboard closes; the stats, games and payments remain available to view.
• You can leave an optional star rating and comment on how the night went. It is never required.

Ending is final - an ended session cannot be reopened, so end it only when the night is genuinely done. Only owners and admins can end a session.
