This article explains how to use the Generation Esports match page to communicate with opponents, report scores, etc. as well as where to locate match history. For a guide on how to use the Queue System, please review the QUEUE SYSTEM 101 article.
Match Page
- The match page is where teams/players can view their opponent's game names (gamertags), report scores (winning team/player only), and utilize the match chat.
- A match page can be accessed in a few ways:
- Queue System - users are redirected to a new match page upon matching with an opponent
- Prescheduled - Match page accessible in the "Today's Play Times" box on a user's dashboard or (in the case of playoffs) through a tournament page's leaderboard/bracket.

Match History
- Upon submission of a match score, the history of the match will live on the "Dashboard" (home page of the platform) under "Match History".
