Review
Staff go through the signups on the review page, /<organization>/m/<marathon>/review, open to editors and above. The bell shows how many are waiting.
The list
Filter by kind (run or volunteer), status and text. Signups are grouped by the person who sent them. The group header has their name, their channels, how many games they have in the running with the total estimate, and how many signups they sent.
Expand a row to see everything:
- Games, with a play button for the PB video. YouTube and Twitch videos open in a dialog.
- Runners and their channels as icons. A check means the channel is verified by a linked account.
- Availability, one row per day on the marathon's clock. Under run signups, a thin bar shows how contested each hour is by other runs, plus badges for the hours available, the longest continuous block, and a warning when no block fits the longest game.
- Answers to the signup questions.
- Comments for staff. The person who signed up never sees them.
Availability fit
Run rows have a hint about their availability:
| Hint | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Flexible | they can play any time |
| Helps | their hours are quieter than average; they fill gaps |
| Crowded | they sit in the most contested hours |
| Neutral | none of the above |
These are hints for choosing, not rules.
Decisions
Each run signup is accepted, backup or rejected, or sent back to pending. The person hears about it in their notifications. Each decision records who made it and when.
Accepting doesn't schedule the run: it goes to the list of accepted runs in the schedule builder.
Volunteers
Volunteer signups are decided per role: someone can be accepted as host and kept as backup for operator. The signup stays in the queue while any role is undecided.
Accepting a role adds the person to the organization if they aren't a member yet, with one role picked in this order: operator, host, moderator, commentator. That membership follows later decisions and is removed when no role is accepted anymore. People who were already members aren't changed.
Commentary
Commentators on a run need both sides to agree. A runner's pick waits for the commentator to accept; a volunteer offering to commentate waits for a runner to accept. Runners can mark a game as "no commentator needed".
The commentary page, /<organization>/m/<marathon>/commentary, gathers it all: answers waiting for you, your offers, and open games you can offer for if you signed up as commentator. Admins can add people and answer for either side.
