You can see your exact match time in Smoothcomp. Make sure to look regularly, because the time of your first match may change during the day.

You must be present at your mat at all times, starting two matches before your own.
This is crucial to keep a good flow and avoid empty mats

You can already line up on your red or blue side
As soon as the previous match ends, you step on the mat immediately
If you're not there, someone will call your name via the microphone. If you don’t show up in 3 minutes, you lose by walk-over

👉 So, check Smoothcomp regularly and make sure you are on time!
