Pre-Tournament Segment
Overview
A pre-tournament segment is a betting
schedule segment that appears at the beginning of a betting schedule. It represents the block of time before the beginning of a tournament.
Pre-tournament segments will always occur before any other segments in the betting schedule.

- ID - Unique identifier (auto-generated)

automatically at the end of the segment
- Console dashboard map key - The console dashboard map key to be used for
displaying console dashboards

Uses
You can use a pre-tournament segment as a way to display a
particular console dashboard or information while players are waiting for
the tournament to begin.
In a bar league, you might use multiple pre-tournament segments:
- The first might be used while you are setting up to display a
console dashboard that informs people how long until sign-up period begins and
also how long until the tournament begins.
- The second might be used during the sign-up period to display a console that lets people know that it is time to sign up and also how long until the tournament begins.
Author's Note: For my home tournaments, I use the
pre-tournament segment as a way to let people know how long until the
tournament begins.
