2. After clicking on the Throw Off button, the throw-off modal will appear. You will need to select the team to throw off (which team is starting with possession). 

3. Next, designate the active goalkeepers for each team by using the drop-down menus.

4. After setting the active goalkeepers, click Confirm to send the events.

5. Click the Start Match button to start the game clock within the app. The game clock will begin, and the initial action sequence is complete.
