# Match Control

To control a match, select `Field Set Control` -> `Desired Field Set` which will open the below dialogue box.

The first things to notice are the `Match On Field` (with option to `Queue Next Match`), and `Match Timer`. The main inputs in this display are **`Field`** (auto populated based on schedule), **`Audience Display`** (Automatically Intro when a match is queued, and swithces to In-Match when the match is started), **`Autonomous Winner`** (Displays during match but is finalized in scoring), and most importantly **`Start Match`**, **`End Early`**, **`Reset Timer`** (Abort Match is shown once a match is started).&#x20;

The other options will allow you to give and display a `Time-out` for a team and toggle whether the computer running the TM server will play `Sound Effects`*.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.purduesigbots.com/team-administration/hosting-competitions/tournament-manager/match-control.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
