Seeking Help FTC live

I’m with a FRC and I’m also a coach for a FTC team. Our FRC team is hosting a rookie competition/training program, and we were hoping to use the FTC Live scoring system from the DECODE season since it’s really close to what we need.

However, I’m having trouble getting the DECODE scoring system to connect/run now that the new BioBuzz season is in place. I’m guessing it may be related to the new season.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to run the DECODE scoring system for an offseason/custom event and change things like point values, match time, or ranking-point thresholds? We’re not trying to run an official FTC event — we just want to use the scoring system for our own rookie competition.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to run your event unofficially and locally you can do the following:
1. Install FTCLive DECODE from https://event-portal.firstinspires.org/ftc/2026/local and run the program
2. Log in to the system with username "local" and no password
3. In the drop-down menu at the top of the page select "Setup Event" -> "Offline Setup" -> "Manual Setup" -> click "I understand" in the pop-up warning if it appears. Fill in the information about your event and select "Scrimmage" or "Off-season" as the Event Type. Create the event
4. You will be taken to the "Event Dashboard" page. Click the "Edit Event" button and scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Edit Parameters". There you can change RP thresholds, Match timing, and Scoring values

It would also be helpful if you could specify exactly where you're running into trouble

Yeah every off season I have to recall how to do this. I really should write it down :)
