Create a new game from UCSD Sheets

Before creating a new game with UCSD Sheets, you should make sure that you have set up the control sheet (meta scoresheet) and have set up the rosters already.

1. Click on "+ New game" in the menu at the top of the page. The New Game dialog should pop up.
2. Select the UCSD Sheets pivot at the top of the dialog.
3. Copy the URL of your room's scoresheet, and click Load.
   • If you haven't signed in to Google or approved the reader application before, you will need to sign in and approve the application.
4. Once the rosters are loaded, pick the two teams you want to read for.
   • When you pick a team, you can choose which players are starting through the "Starter" checkbox.
5. Click on the "Choose file" button to load a packet
   • Packets must be either a Microsoft Word document (*.docx) or a JSON file (*.json).
     • Word documents are sent to a parsing service. If the service is unable to read the file, an error message will appear. If it couldn't parse the file, it will explain why and tell the user where in the packet the issue is.
     • JSON files should come from parsing a Microsoft Word document with Yet Another Packet Parser.
6. Click Start. If there are issues with the game (same teams chosen), the dialog will not close.

Note: The number of tossups heard will be based on the number of questions in the packet. Exports to UCSD Sheets should manually correct the TUH columns for now.
