# Match Finished

## Overview

Match results will be calculated as soon as the umpire enters the final point into their tablet.

However, the match is not confirmed as FINAL until the 'Match Finished' packet is sent.

This is done so that if the umpire makes a mistake awarding a point to a team, they can undo it.

## Packet

The 'Match Finished' packet is the final packet that is sent through for a match, e.g:

* Match Finished JSON

```
{
  "eventElementType": "MatchFinished",
  "matchTime": "02:27:00",
  "reason": "Normally",
  "seqNum": 594,
  "timestamp": "2024-07-14T15:37:57.180Z",
  "won": "TeamA"
}
```

#### Best Practice

You should use this packet to:

* Settle Winner Markets
* Assume that the event has finished and disconnect from the event
