Practice Mode
🏋️♂️ Practice Mode Overview
Practice Mode is a flexible state that allows you to use the tinyLeague™ Hub app without connecting to a shot clock module. This is ideal for solo testing, referee training, or team practice when a physical display isn't around.
🚫 No Module Connection
Practice Mode activates automatically when no module is connected. You'll still see all standard features:
- Timer functionality
- High/Low time switch
- Reset, Unpause, and Undo buttons
While you are able to access the entire settings menu, you will find that the Available Devices menu, rename module, and color controls settings are disabled.
🧠 Why Use Practice Mode?
Practice Mode is perfect for training referees, testing timing flows, or running internal scrimmages without needing to setup any display modules.
