      Player Queue

      The Player queue feature for MultiBall allows you to quickly register and login players in a short amount of time. This creates the perfect opportunity to manage fast-paced events with a big throughput of players

      Overview


      The Player queue feature for MultiBall allows you to quickly register and login players in a short amount of time. This creates the perfect opportunity to manage fast-paced events with a big throughput of players, e.g. to have a competition and handing out prices for the best players or to query users for information they want to share or want to receive.


      This feature overrules the login via app. If the Player queue is enabled, even if a user is logging in via app, the games will still use the active player of the Player queue. To re-enable the usual login via app, the Player queue has to be disabled on the Edit page of the respective system.

      Feature List

      The Player Queue comes with a lot of features right away, which will be further extended in the future:

      • Register Players
      • Customize fields for players to fill out
      • Add a confirmation modal (e.g. for your privacy notice) that users have to accept first
      • Add optional/mandatory checkboxes (e.g. subscribe to newsletter)
      • Save records with specific event name and date
      • Download the stored records as csv file
      • Configure displayed fields in the queue
      • Order the registered players according to different metrics
      • Use a dedicated landing page on any device with an internet browser to display the queue
