MartialMatch is affordable and easy to use tournament software for combat sport events.
A tech account is an additional login for the person helping you run the event. This means you do not need to share your personal MartialMatch account, and they can access only that one event. An event can have several tech accounts, for example one login for referees and scoreboard operators and another for the verification desk.
Use it for people who will run the event, for example to work with brackets, the schedule, results, or scoreboards.
Who can create a tech account?
Only a full organizer of the event can create, edit, or remove its tech accounts. An event can have several active tech accounts, each with its own username, password, and access.
Create a tech account
- Open your event's admin area.
- In the sidebar, select Tech accounts.
- Select Create tech account.
- Enter a username and a password. The password must contain at least 6 characters.
- Choose the access mode: Full access, or Limited (bundles) with the bundles the person needs (described below).
- Confirm with OK.
To add another account, select Create tech account again and enter a different username. Usernames must be unique across MartialMatch.
After creation, save the username and password in a secure place and share them only with the person who will operate the event.
Important: save the password immediately
The password is displayed only immediately after the account is created. After you refresh the page, it is hidden and cannot be shown again.
If you lose the password, remove that tech account and create a new one with a new password. Removing the account also blocks its active sign-ins. The username of a removed account cannot be used again, so choose a different one.
Full access or limited access
By default a tech account has full access to the event, except actions reserved for full organizers such as inviting organizers. You can switch it to Limited (bundles) and choose only the bundles the person needs, for example referee to run fights, or announcer to call competitors to the mat, without being able to change the fight order. You choose the access mode when you create the account. To change it later, select Edit on the account on the Tech accounts page, choose the access mode, and select Save. Each account has its own access mode, so one account can be limited to referee work while another has full access.
Switching the mode does not change the username, password, or expiry, and it takes effect immediately, even if the person is already signed in. See Staff roles and bundles for what each bundle allows.
Sign in with the tech account
The person using the tech account signs in through the regular MartialMatch login page using the tech account's username and password. After signing in, they can access only the event for which the account was created.
Remove or replace a tech account
Open the event's Tech accounts page and select Delete on the account. This immediately disables that account and its active sign-ins. Other tech accounts of the event are not affected. You can then create a replacement account when needed.
A tech account becomes inactive after the event date has passed.
