Live Event Features for Camps & Game Days

What & Why

During camps and game days, coaches and parents lack the real-time operational tools that leagues already have (court assignments, live scoring, parent tracking). Camps and game days currently show only a static "Session in Progress" indicator. Adding court/station assignments, scrimmage score tracking, and a parent-facing live view for non-league events will transform the in-venue experience for families and give coaches the tools they need to run smooth events.

Done looks like

• Admin/Coach Event Day Console: During an active camp or game day, coaches see a dedicated live operations view where they can assign athletes to courts/stations, start and track scrimmage games with scores, and manage rotations — all from a mobile-friendly interface
• Court & Station Assignments: Coaches can create courts or stations for a session, drag-and-drop or select athletes onto courts, and rotate groups between stations. Athletes and parents can see their current assignment
• Scrimmage/Game Score Tracking: Coaches or designated scorekeepers can record scores for scrimmages during camps and game days, with Side A/Side B tracking similar to the existing league referee console but simplified
• Parent Live View for Academy Events: Parents see a live dashboard for active camps and game days showing their child's current court/station assignment, any active game score, session timeline/schedule, and a "last updated" timestamp. Auto-refreshes every 10 seconds matching existing patterns
• Entry Points: "Watch Live" button appears on family dashboard and event detail page for active non-league events (not just leagues), linking to the live view
• Works on mobile: All views are responsive and optimized for phone use at the gym

Out of scope

• WebSocket push for non-league events (polling is sufficient to start, matching existing league pattern)
• Full tournament bracket management
• Video streaming or photo sharing during events
• Modifying the existing league referee console or parent live view
• Automated rotation scheduling (manual assignment only for now)
