• If you get errors connecting to the database, make sure that your IP is allowed in the DB auth settings. When adding your IP, set it to only allow for 6 hours.
• Before starting, get the .env file from either @Renato Dell'Osso IV or @Avyn Ebersold. It goes inside the SJ2CompGenerator folder. Keep the .env out of Git!
• If you’re having issues, talk to @Renato Dell'Osso IV, or @Avyn Ebersold if Renato can’t be reached.
• Clone the repository from here:

https://github.com/Decatur-High-GlobalDynamics/SJ2CompGenerator

• Second, inside SJ2CompGenerator, run:

npm run dev

• Then, once you navigate to localhost:3000, you’ll see the following fields:

  

• Fill in “Competition Name” with what you want the competition to be see as by scouters (ex. Carrollton Qualifier 2023)

• Fill in “TBA ID” with the ID of the competition from The Blue Alliance (can be found in URLs like the following)

https://www.thebluealliance.com/event/2023gacar

• The third field is the Team ID, and can be found in the database. If you need to change this, change the NEXT_PUBLIC_TEAM_ID in the .env file. This is autofilled, so you can leave it blank.
• The fourth field is the Season ID, and can be found in the database. It’s easiest to just go change the NEXT_PUBLIC_SEASON_ID variable in the .env, as the website autofills from this. This is autofilled, so you can leave it blank.
• Finally, set the number of matches. You’ll need to enter 6x the number of teams you have matches. For example, for a competition with 20 matches, you’d need to enter 120 team numbers. It’s recommended to get a second person to read you the schedule as you enter the team numbers.
• When done entering the team numbers, click “Create Competition” (only once) and check the console to make sure it worked.
