v3 will have multiple entities in relations to a console...

"Console Layout" - This is the definition of a single console screen. The console layout defines what components appear, where they appear, etc. I'm pretty set on this name.

"????" - This entity identifies a group of "console layouts" for a specific purpose. For instance, this entity might:
- Tag one layout to be used for "pre-tournament" segments.
- Tag two layouts to be used for "play" segments. It would alternate between these two layouts every X seconds.
- Tag two layouts to be used for "break" segments.
- Tag one layout to be used for "post-tournament".
- Define which alerts should fire, what sounds to use, etc.
For now, we'll call this a "configuration".

From the "Player Interface" tab, you'd have access to all consoles and all configurations. You could edit configurations, create new ones, etc.

One of the attributes of a tournament would be which configuration it should use.

So, what to call a "configuration"? Help me!

Console Theme.

All the types of consoles revolve around 1 central theme.

I like theme.

Will there be the ability to link sounds to consoles? I have a couple sound bytes from various 'themes' Wink and I'd like certain sounds to only associate with certain consoles.
