Tightly scheduled strategy

Backoffice can edit the tightly scheduled strategy for site and competition level, which determine what should happen when two broadcasts overlap at the same venue. This can occur when the first game goes into overtime and continues past its scheduled end time.

• To access site-level broadcast rules, navigate to 'Broadcasts' → 'Configurations' → 'Rules'.

• To access tournament-level rules, go to 'Competition detail' → 'Configurations' → 'Rules'.

Here, you will find two options:

• If 'Start upcoming broadcast' is checked, the first broadcast will stop and the second broadcast will start on time.

• If 'Let ongoing broadcast finish' is checked, the first broadcast will continue until manually stopped, and the second broadcast will be queued and start once the first broadcast ends.

Broadcasts will use the most specific setting available. This means that if the broadcast is assigned to a tournament where the settings differ from those at the site level, it will follow the competition-level settings.
