Gabekross Control Hub

1. Add questions to the database (see Adding Questions below).
2. Create a Game Session — pick questions for each round and Fast Money, set team names.
3. Open the Main Screen on the TV / projector and press F11 for fullscreen.
4. Open the Operator Panel on a separate laptop or tablet to run the show.
5. Switch rounds, reveal answers, track strikes, and finish with Fast Money.

💡 Tip: Use two devices — one for the audience Main Screen and one for the operator. Both stay in sync automatically over the live game session.

Questions live in your Supabase database. Each question has a question_text, a type (which round it's for), and a list of answers with point values.

Question types you must have:

• round1, round2, round3, round4 — regular rounds
• sudden_death — tiebreaker question
• fast_money — Fast Money pool (you'll pick 5 from this)

Each question needs answers with: answer_text, points, and an order (1, 2, 3…).

You can add questions through the Supabase dashboard table editor, or via the Current Game Session Questions page on the landing page (preview what's loaded for the active session).

⚠ Make sure each question you intend to use has at least one answerattached, otherwise the answer board will appear empty on the Main Screen.

From the Create Game Session card on the landing page:

1. Enter the two team names (e.g. Lions and Eagles).
2. Pick one question for each: Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, Round 4, Tie Breaker.
3. Pick 5 different questions for Fast Money (FM1 through FM5).
4. Click 🎮 Create Game Session.

⚠ Only one active session can exist at a time. Creating a new session replaces any previous one — start scores, strikes, and reveals all reset.

💡 Tip: You can preview every question and answer for the new session from the Current Game Session Questions page before going live.

The Main Screen is the audience display — it's what your church/audience sees on the TV or projector.

1. Open the Main Screen URL on the device connected to the projector or TV.
2. Press F11 (or use the fullscreen toggle in the corner) to go fullscreen.
3. That's it — the screen auto-detects the active game session and updates live.

What the Main Screen shows:

• Top: Team scoreboard with the active team highlighted in gold
• Middle: Question + answer board (8 blue plates that flip to reveal)
• Bottom: Strike indicators (❌)
• During Fast Money: switches to a two-column board (Player 1 | Player 2) with a countdown timer in the corner

💡 Tip: Designed for 16:9 displays. Test the projector first — overscan-safe padding is built in for older TVs.

The Operator Panel is split into three panes (plus a Fast Money pane that appears in round 6):

🎮 Left Pane — Game Controls

• Round selector + 🔀 Switch to Selected Round button — moves the game forward
• 👁️ Reveal Question / 🙈 Hide Question — controls whether the audience sees the question text
• Strike controls — ➕ / ➖ buttons (a red ❌ flashes on the Main Screen on each new strike)
• Team scores — quick ±5 adjustments
• 🔁 Reset Round — clears strikes & answer reveals for the current question
• 🔄 Reset Game Session — full reset (scores, strikes, all reveals)

🃏 Middle Pane — Answer Reveals (regular rounds)

• Click any answer in the list to reveal it on the Main Screen (with a flip animation + ding)
• Each answer's point value is added to the active team's score on reveal
• Use the strike controls here too if it's easier than the left pane

🏆 Right Pane — Team Scores & Active Team

• Manual ± buttons for each team's score
• Toggle which team has control — the active team is shown with a gold highlight on the Main Screen

⚡ Fast Money Pane (Round 6)

• Player 1 / Player 2 toggle — switching to Player 2 automatically hides Player 1's answers on the Main Screen
• Q1–Q5 navigation: ⬅ Prev / Next ➡ / ↩ Q1 jump (handy when starting Player 2's turn)
• Reveal Question — shows the FM question text on the Main Screen
• Type the player's answer — or click any item in the Answer Bank to fill it instantly
• Reveal Answer → Reveal Points — appears on the Main Screen with a sound
• No Correct (0) — for wrong/skipped answers, plays a buzzer
• Timer — Start / Pause / Reset; appears top-right of the Main Screen

1. Rounds 1–4: Reveal the question → ask audience → click answers as the team gets them → 3 strikes flips control to the other team for a steal.
2. Tie Breaker (Round 5): Used as a tiebreaker if needed — one question, fastest correct answer wins.
3. Fast Money (Round 6):
   • Player 1 answers all 5 questions (timed).
   • Operator switches to Player 2 — Player 1's answers auto-hide on the Main Screen.
   • Player 2 answers the same 5 questions.
   • Combined point total decides the winner.

💡 Tip: Use the ↩ Q1 jump button at the start of Player 2's turn — much faster than clicking Prev four times.

• Main Screen seems stuck or missing updates? Hard-refresh both tabs with Ctrl+Shift+R (Mac: ⌘+Shift+R).
• Wrong round showing? In the Operator's Left Pane, pick the correct round and click 🔀 Switch to Selected Round.
• Strikes / reveals from a previous game? Use 🔁 Reset Round(current question only) or 🔄 Reset Game Session (full reset).
• No sound effects? Most browsers block audio until you click something — press any button on the Operator Panel first.
• Use two devices. The Main Screen on the projector / TV, and the Operator Panel on a laptop or tablet you keep with you.
• Internet hiccup? All state is in Supabase — refresh either tab and it picks up exactly where you left off.
