The parts of the Resource Area used to run the TFCs tournaments are:

    • setting up appraiser teams
    • handling virtual prep
    • assigning the TFC as an IC for the appraisers (Set ICs)
    • monitoring the tournament
    • supporting scoring via the Mobile Client


 Looking at Admin=>track team film challenge, it has a red tab menu with the following pages:
