2025.5 / 2025-01-06

This release changes the label for the clock running between the end of a timeout and the start of the next jam.

A silent rules update declares that this time is no longer Lineup Time. It does not say what it is called instead, so we decided to call it "Post Timeout" for now.

2025.4 / 2025-01-06

This version brings the much requested compliance with WFTDA Officiating Procedure 8.4 and fixes a number of bugs.

Note: It is still required to press "End Timeout" at the rolling whistle. But the timeout clock will continue to run until the start of the next jam if you do so.

Changes since 2025.3

Bugfixes

• Avoid bottom part of PBT screen scrolling out of view when there are many box trips in a jam (#809)
• Properly handle switching to/from no pivot in too many blockers popup (#814)

Features

• Shutdown if webserver can't be started. (#813)
  • This avoids accidentally overwriting your autosave by starting multiple instances in parallel.
• Add timestamps to the logs and add log output for more errors. (#813)
• Allow "Lineup" button to start overtime lineup when conditions are met. (#817)
• Make after-timeout behavior compliant with WFTDA procedures without breaking rules compliance (#817)
  • The previous behavior can be reverted to by disabling the new rule Timeout.NoClockStop

2025.3 / 2024-12-03

This version fixes another bug that set the main score showing last scoring trip instead of total score when starting CRG with a nonempty game.

Changes since 2025.2

Bugfixes

• Fix displayed score after loading a nonempty game (#807)

2025.2 / 2024-11-28

• Make Go To Next Jam work even if operator closed the settings window without selecting a (or both) team(s) (#791)

2025.0 / 2024-11-11

This is the first release of the CRG version for the 2024-2026 WFTDA season. It brings quite a few new features and changes but in-game operation has been mostly unaffected by those.

Headline changes since 2023.7

New Screens

• CRG now supports Penalty Box Timing. This brings a new screen for PBT input, a new display for penalty clocks, and adds penalty clocks to the main display and stream overlay. See the Wiki for documentation.
• There are now screens for Scorekeeping. These are essentially the per-team part of the SBO screen.
• There is now a screen that allows inputting/editing Official Review information.

Modified screens/behaviour/defaults

• The PT/LT/PLT screen have been combined into one that allows selecting the functionality and team(s) via a settings popup on the fly.
• When adding a 5th Blocker on the LT screen you are now presented with a popup asking what to do instead of the software silently replacing one of the previously entered Blockers.
• Auto-End Jam is disabled by default.
• The colour scheme and design language of the screens (except Main Display and stream overlay) have been made consistent.
  • Screens now also support using custom themes.
• Due to incompatibilities with other features the "Clock after Timeout" feature had to be removed.
• Some longstanding bugs have been fixed ("groundhog jam" and "ghost period" the most infamous ones).

Under the hood

• The frontend has been completely rewritten with the aim of making the code more readable and maintainable. Maintainers of custom screens should check the wiki for notes on adjustments you may have to make.

Changes since 2025-beta4

Bugfixes

• When copying a game, skaters are now copied correctly (#770)
• Some display errors in SP* rows have been fixed (#771)
• Sponsor banners are being displayed again (#773)
• Points during initial trip are now properly displayed again on SK sheets (#757
• Foulouts and Expulsions no longer add time to penalty clocks. (#777)
  • They also are immediately marked as served.
• The setup of adHoc games has been fixed (#778)
• "Remove all" skaters now also works on stored teams (#780)
• When an Intermission (including Time to Derby) is manually started, don't add an empty period (#782 - thanks to @queekusme et. al. for figuring out how to reproduce the bug)

Features

• Support for custom themes has been added (#774)
• Allow storing Officials (#776)
  • When entering Officials into an IGRF, info is completed from stored officials if available.

Changes

• When pasting Officials rosters positions will also be matched when capitalized differently or when official abbreviations are used (#776)
• Hide unstopped timeouts from the main display and overlay in order to reduce game impact of operator errors (#783)
  • This broke showing a timeout clock after the timeout ended, so the option has been removed.
