[0031] An onsite assessment may involve a detailed inspection of the playing court to establish initial plans for fully setting up the event. This includes: a. Cleaning the lines on this clay court is necessary. b. Evaluate whether overhead straps are needed, and if so, specify the required type of straps (length and placement). c. Challenges with Awnings: If awnings are present, plan how to manage installations around them. d. Decide on the location for the DJ setup in relation to the layout of the playing court. e. Check the onsite redundant power source for usability (verify amperage15A, 20A, 30A; check for GFI receptacles) and its proximity to our power switch box. f. Assess the placement and setup of our generators and the location of the power switch box. g. Identify which baseline fencing will route the power stringer plugs. h. Determine where to store all empty racks during the event. i. If necessary, pinpoint the placement for white lighting.

2. Staging the Trailer for Equipment Access.

[0032] In this step, all necessary equipment for the setup is organized on specialized mobile shelving carts. Each cart features customized sleeves on its shelves to securely hold the individual components or parts. In one embodiment, the trailer staging area may accommodate a mix of 21 different types of components, totaling over 200 parts. Due to weight constraints, these parts can be distributed across 7 reinforced portable carts. These carts are designed for easy transportation to the immediate playing court area, where they are ready for setup tasks. Assigned site helpers may collaborate to move and assist with the overall event setup.

Installation Process 92

[0033] The installation process 92 may includes:

3. Positioning each cart near the point of installation to optimize equipment positioning. The arrangement of all components is designed to guide volunteers/workers to position subsequent components in proximity. Typically, an experienced individual handles this initial cart placement. Once the target equipment is positioned, all other components can be set up simultaneously.

[0034] In this step, the present invention provides a unique method for efficiently setting up playing courts using a system of interrelated components that are strategically placed based on predefined locational targets and adaptable configurations. This method facilitates quick, accurate setups and is versatile enough to handle a variety of court types and surrounding infrastructures.

[0035] This method invention simplifies the court setup process, reduces setup time, and ensures adaptability to a wide range of playing environments, making it a valuable advancement in the field of sports facility management.

[0036] In preferred embodiment, the method of present invention utilizes initial setup components such as designated fence brackets 20 and markers as locational targets to guide the placement of subsequent components, ensuring precision and consistency in the setup.

[0037] In preferred embodiment, the method of present invention utilizes adjustable components like telescopic poles (and base pedestals can may be attached to the telescopic poles) 30, particularly in environments lacking standard fencing or where court dimensions vary.

[0038] In one embodiment, the method of present invention may employ telescopic poles 30 that can be adjusted in height and position to simulate standard fencing or to extend existing barriers, ensuring that court boundaries are maintained accurately regardless of existing physical conditions.

[0039] In one embodiment, the method of present invention may use overhead strapping not only to delineate court boundaries where fencing is inadequate but also to support additional elements such as decorative banners or lighting, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.

[0040] In other embodiment, the method of present invention may integrate safety protocols to monitor and adjust the tension of straps 10 and poles 30, preventing damage to equipment and ensuring stability and safety of the setup (system).

[0041] In yet another embodiment, the method of present invention may allow for the repositioning and extension of setup components like poles 30 and straps 10 to navigate around physical obstacles (e.g., trees, buildings) that may interfere with standard setup procedures.

[0042] In a detailed embodiment, the present invention may comprise the following Step-by-Step process for overhead strapping and court setup:

Step 1: Initial Component Placement

[0043] 1a. Setting Up Fence Brackets 20 and Orange Tops: Begin by deploying the fence brackets 20 and orange tops around the court. Position these components near key areas such as the service line, baseline, net posts, and baseline fencing area as shown in FIG. 1. For courts with complete fencing, place 14 brackets 20 per court, and for shared or adjacent courts, adjust the number of brackets 20 accordingly.

Step 2: Telescopic Pole (and Base Pedestal) 30 Setup

[0044] 2a. Deploying Telescopic Poles 30: Retrieve the telescopic poles 30 from the custom cart and position them at locations where fencing is less than 8 feet high or absent. Ensure poles 30 are placed near previously set orange top brackets (fence brackets) 20 or directly next to net posts as needed.

[0045] 2b. Placing Base Pedestals: Unstrap and slide out base pedestals from the cart, positioning them near the orange top brackets where there is no fencing. Ensure the tube on the pedestal faces upward for later attachments.

Step 3: Overhead Strapping Installation

[0046] 3a. Securing Strapping: The strapping (nylon robe) is used as an overhead horizontal structure where a 7 foot or less of chain-link fencing is present. The method may use dual function strapping. For example, the user can use nylon rope as overhead strapping where fencing is inadequate (7 feet or less). Secure one end of the strap 10 to a 10-foot-high baseline chain-link fencing post 15 and extend it across to the other end, creating a continuous strap line at 10 feet high.

[0047] 3b. Tension Adjustment: While securing, adjust the ratchet strap to be taut between 150-200 pounds. Monitor to ensure that this tension does not damage the poles or fencing.

[0048] 3c. Navigating Obstacles: If awnings or other obstacles intersect the path of the strapping, route the strap around the perimeter of these obstacles at the court side. Secure additional telescopic poles 30 to the awning supports, extend them to 10 feet, and attach the strap 10 to the top of these poles.

Step 4: Line Taping

[0049] 4a. Preparing Surface: For clay courts, inspect and clean the lines to ensure they can accept tape adhesion. For hard courts, proceed directly to taping.

[0050] 4b. Applying Tape: Begin taping court lines using fluorescent tape, ensuring no overlap at corners. Use a pinch and shear method to cut tape by hand.

Step 5: Lighting and Power Setup

[0051] 5a. Placing Blacklight Fixtures 70: Retrieve blacklight fixtures 70 from the designated cart and position them near each target location previously outlined. Ensure fixtures 70 are placed on their side to protect the lenses.

[0052] 5b. Routing LED Stringer Power Cords 60: Deploy power cords 60 from the cable cart. For a typical two-court setup, route three stringers 60 along the perimeter and between courts. Start from the tennis net end pole, placing the first receptacle near the net post and continue placing others along the service and baseline, adjusting as necessary for shared areas.

Step 6: Final Adjustments and Safety Checks

[0053] 6a. Review Setup: Walk through the entire setup to ensure all components are securely placed and functioning as expected.

[0054] 6b. Safety Check: Perform a final safety check, ensuring all strapping, poles 30, and electrical connections are secure and pose no hazard to players or spectators.

[0055] The method of the present invention can be presented in various embodiments.

[0056] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the method may comprise steps of: placing initial locational target components in a court 95, having at least four fences (that can be included in the perimeter fencing (fence) 80), to guide a setup of court equipment, wherein the initial locational target components are placed on the at least four fences of the court; positioning setup components on the at least four fences of the court 96, wherein the setup components are attached to the initial locational target components; adjusting the setup components to accommodate variations in fencing and court dimensions 97; creating a continuous strap line 98, on the at least four fences by setup components attached to a plurality of baseline chain-link fencing posts, utilizing dual-function overhead strapping, wherein the plurality of baseline chain-link fencing posts are attached to the at least four fences; and monitoring and adjusting tension in the setup components 99, to ensure safety and stability.

[0057] The setup components may include one or more telescopic poles (base pedestals) 30 and straps 10.

[0058] The initial locational target components can be fence brackets 20.

[0059] The positioning telescopic poles 30 may include placing the telescopic poles 30 on the at least four fences.

[0060] The positioning base pedestals (that may be attached to the telescopic poles) 30 may include placing the base pedestals adjacent to the fence brackets 20 where there is no fence.

[0061] The dual-function overhead strapping may include using nylon rope as overhead strapping on a fence that is 7 feet or less.

[0062] The dual-function overhead strapping may includes securing one end of the nylon rope to a baseline chain-link fencing post 15 and extending the nylon rope across to the other baseline chain-link fencing post 15.

[0063] The baseline chain-link fencing posts 15 are the fundamental or standard types of posts 15 used in the construction of a chain-link fence (fence) 80. These posts 15 are integral components that provide structural support to the fence 80.

[0064] The setup components of the present invention are adaptable for use in various environmental settings and are capable of customization to navigate physical obstacles. The courts of the present invention can be sporting playing fieldssuch as those used for tennis, pickleball, basketball, and padel.

4. Configuring Blacklights Components.

[0065] This task starts with the assembly of equipment that has been previously laid out, which can now be constructed and positioned in its final location in preparation for final testing.

5. Managing and Placing Artwork Banners.

[0066] Artwork banners may vary in size, ranging from 50 feet long by 8 feet high to 40 feet long by 3 feet high. Each banner can be marked with a label indicating its designated placement. The precise location of each banner can be determined on-site on the day of the event. In some embodiments, the primary zones for the larger banners may include the fencing baselines in 4 areas, one area on the backdrop side, shared areas between courts (partially), viewing areas (partially), two spots on tennis netting, and four miscellaneous locations. All banners can be meticulously folded in a manner that facilitates easy unfurling and placement along the fence bases.

6. Placing 3-Foot Cones and Targets on the Site.

[0067] In one embodiment, cones can be placed on site. Initially, an installer retrieves a miscellaneous cart, positioning it to facilitate the easy offloading of equipment. The installer then removes the protective cloth cover from three piles of cones located on the cart and sets the cover aside. In one step of the method, four green cones are placed inside the area demarcated by the service line and base line on the Champ side of the playing court, which is the same side as the DJ equipment. Additionally, two orange Champ cones are positioned just behind the base line on the Champ side. On the opposite end of the same playing court, the Challenger side, two red Challengers cones are placed, evenly spaced just behind the base line. This task is then repeated on another playing court.

7. Distributing Tennis Balls or Pickleballs on the Playing Court.

[0068] In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, Tennis balls or Pickleballs can be distributed as following steps: Firstly, an installer retrieves a miscellaneous cart and positions it to enable easy offloading of the equipment. Subsequently, the installer places two ball bags on the Champs side of the playing court. Additionally, located on the lower shelf of the miscellaneous cart is the basket frame designated for these ball bags. The installer then places two frames on the Champs side and mounts the ball bags into the frames. This procedure is repeated on the opposite playing court.

8. Obtaining and Preparing a Small Cart Containing LEDs and Mini Cones.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the method may include placing LED magnetic flashing lights onto the top of all 3-foot cones. Additionally, as per instructions, all small and flat cones are positioned accordingly.

9. Managing Empty Rack Storage.

[0070] In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the method may include collecting all eight empty carts and relocating them to a designated holding area until the event concludes.

10. Setting Up Power and Testing Blacklight Functionality.

[0071] It is crucial to establish both a primary and a backup power supply before setting up the system. The preferred house power is 20A or greater. For typical arrangements, two 13A generators will power the blacklight and white lights if needed, while house power will run the DJ equipment. A third 16A generator will serve as a backup for either the blacklight or DJ sound system. If using generators, they should be positioned far from users with exhaust directed away, considering wind direction to minimize CO exhaust risks. One should never operate generators indoors. If using house power, one should avoid GFI outlets for blacklights due to their instant current surge, which GFI outlets handle inconsistently. However, the DJ system can use a GFI outlet since its power requirement increases gradually.

11. Setting Up DJ Equipment Using a Custom Portable DJ Cart at the Designated Location.

[0072] The DJ system includes a variety of components: a sound enhancement system, a PA system, spider lighting, an equalizer lighting system, a fog system, and a laser light display system, all managed by a skilled DJ operator. The entire setup is housed in a cart that is designed to expand both horizontally and vertically, allowing for three-dimensional adjustments. This system can be powered using either site power or a generator as a backup source.

12. Preparing the Run of Show/Event Timeline.

[0073] All program and event specifics are finalized before the event date. Prior to the event's commencement, the MC (master of ceremonies) will go over the game or event plan with all professionals, ball feeders, and relevant volunteers. The MC will conduct a test and approval of the PA system, as well as a sound enhancement system check. Additionally, the MC will introduce the event staff and give a comprehensive introduction to the XGLOsive experience for all participants. The MC will lead the event countdown, kick off the event, and manage the on-court activities.

13. Conducting Pre-Start Activities for the Event.

[0074] Five minutes before the event begins, all cone LED lights must be activated. The standard court lighting should be turned on at least 30 minutes before the event starts. The blacklight generators need to be operational and ready at the start of the countdown. Additionally, the DJ should be prepared for the countdown.

Deinstallation Process

14. Beginning Event Take-Down.

[0075] Utilizing the present invention, the disassembly of the entire event playing court can be accomplished in approximately 60 minutes. Additionally, several tasks related to the take down process can be executed simultaneously.

15. All artwork banners on fencing and nets must first be taken down and spread out on court then meticulously folded as instructed. Leave folded banners in place for collection. This is the first important step in the take-down task. Removing and disassembling all fence bracket assemblies.

[0076] The fence bracket assemblies can be disassembled and removed as following steps: utilizing a lifting pole tool to elevate a fence bracket 20 above the fence's top crossbar and links, and then carefully lowering the assembly onto the court surface. Special attention is required to prevent dropping the blacklight during this process. It is critical to ensure that all dressed cables are detached from the fencing prior to the removal of the fence brackets 20. Further steps includes: disconnecting the blacklight(s) by unplugging them directly from their respective receptacles, noting that no additional electrical disconnections from the blacklight's pigtail are necessary. The blacklight(s) should then be gently placed on the playing surface for subsequent retrieval. Additionally, the steps involve removing the stringer power receptacle 60 by lifting it gently and setting it down softly on the playing surface. For the spider lights located at predetermined positions, the steps require unplugging the extension cord at both ends, and subsequently placing the spider lights and the coiled extension cord into a designated black box situated nearby. Any cords from the stringer that are draped over or attached to the fencing should be laid on the playing surface. The described steps for the removal of the fence bracket 20 is to be consistently replicated at each fence location, thereby ensuring a systematic and efficient dismantling of the event playing court.

16. Disassembling all Telescopic (Orange) Poles 30.

[0077] These poles 30 are secured using three methods: to a short fence, to a pedestal base and to net posts. The procedure for dismantling various types of poles used in an event playing court is detailed as follows:

[0078] Short Fencing Poles: Using a ladder, cut off cable ties and tie wraps securing the poles 30 to a top strap 10. Begin disassembly by gently pressing and releasing the lock pin of the telescopic pole 30 with gloved hands, lowering it until it seats on the first lock pin. Disconnect and remove the blacklights from the orange top bracket, placing both the lights and the bracket 20 on the playing surface. Cut three tie wraps to detach the pole 30 from the fence and place it on the playing surface. Repeat this process for all such poles 30.

[0079] Pedestal/Base Pole: Similar to short fencing poles 30, cut off cable ties from the top strap 10 using a ladder. Disassemble by lowering the telescopic pole 30 after releasing the lock pin. Remove the blacklights and the orange top bracket 20, placing them on the playing surface. Lift the pole out of the square base and set it on the court, leaving the pedestal in place. Repeat for all poles 30 attached to pedestal bases.

[0080] Poles Attached to Net Posts: Cut off any cable ties at the top supporting the cable dress. Lower the telescopic pole 30 by releasing the lock pin and seating it on the first lock pin. Disconnect the blacklights and remove them along with the orange top bracket 20, placing them on the playing surface. Cut three cable ties to detach the pole 3 from the tennis net post and place it on the playing surface. Repeat for all poles 30 attached to net posts.

17. Coiling Up Stringer Power Cables.

[0081] There are three power cables located along the fencing or running between the two courts. The installer may begin by identifying the three power cables located along the fencing or running between the two courts. Before coiling the cables, the installer ensures that the plug ends are disconnected from the power switch box to prevent any electrical hazards. Using a specific method tailored for stringer cables that contain receptacles, the installer divides the cable into two sections. Starting from one end, the installer coils the cable into 15-inch loops, carefully using one hand without wrapping the cable around their arm. This technique helps avoid internal wire twisting and potential damage to the cable. As the coil grows, the installer may shift it onto the forearm of the same arm, keeping their hand free to manage and support the rest of the cable. When they reach approximately halfway, as indicated by the yellow Velcro straps, the installer stops coiling just before the colored receptacle. They then secure the coiled section with the provided Velcro strap and gently place it on the court surface. Next, the installer begins to coil the other end of the cable in the same manner. Once they reach the halfway point again, they stop just short of the colored receptacle and use another yellow Velcro strap to secure the bundle. Finally, the installer carries the completed coil to the final staging area and places it in the designated cable rack, ensuring that the cables do not extend beyond the opening of the rack. This process is carefully repeated for the other two cables, ensuring a neat and safe setup.

18. Assigning Volunteers to Collect all Equipment from the Court Surface.

[0082] This step facilitates the transportation of all equipment to the final staging area. The equipment to be moved may include fence brackets 20, blacklight fixtures, orange top adapters, (orange) telescopic poles 30, and extension cords.

19. Placing Banners into their Designated Cart.

[0083] In one embodiment, two installers may coordinate their efforts to manage the banner cart. First, they roll the cart alongside each folded banner. Working together, they lift and place each banner flat on the lower shelf of the cart. They are careful to ensure that the banners do not protrude beyond the front of the rack frame or near the eye bolt vertical plane. Starting with the bottom shelf, they stack the banners up to the designated tape mark. Once the bottom shelf is fully loaded, one installer lowers the middle shelf into its normal position while the other secures it using the side latches. They then proceed to stack banners on this middle shelf, continuing until they reach the tape mark. Following this, they lower and lock the top shelf into place. The remaining banners are placed on the top shelf by the installers. After all the banners are loaded, they retrieve two locking bars stored on the side of the rack. Working carefully, they slide these bars down through the front eye bolts, ensuring they do not pinch or damage the banners. Once secured, they perform a final check to ensure everything is stable and properly positioned. The cart, now fully loaded and secured, is ready to be transported to the trailer loading area. The installers then push the cart towards the designated loading zone.

20. Moving all equipment carts (6 carts and 2 small Rolla rounds) from the holding area to the final staging location. This step may include placing each cart close to the components that will be installed into them.

21. Managing the Miscellaneous Cart.

[0084] In one embodiment, this step may include arranging all large cones into three even stacks on the miscellaneous cart and cover each stack with a black cover.

22. Organizing the Blacklight Cart.

[0085] A user may begin by selecting one blacklight fixture and adjusting its rear adapter to point straight upwards. If necessary, the user may need to loosen the turn knobs to facilitate this adjustment. Next, the user may neatly coil the light's cord around the rear of the fixture and carefully place it into one of the designated custom slots on the cart. Continue this procedure with each of the remaining blacklight fixtures, ensuring that each one is placed flat in its slot without any cords interfering with adjacent fixtures. Remember, there are 30 blacklight fixtures to be stored in this cart. Once all fixtures are properly positioned, the user may secure each shelf by fastening the provided bungee straps to keep the fixtures stable. Finally, the user may cover the front of the cart with the rain cover and zip it closed to protect the fixtures. After securing and covering the cart, the user may then transport it to the trailer loading area. Push the cart to the specified location, completing the setup.

23. Arranging the Fence Bracket/Orange Top Adapters Cart.

[0086] This step may involve the following actions: Retrieve the fence bracket cart and load all fence brackets onto shelves 2 through 5. Start by taking two brackets and slotting them together in opposite directions to form a pair. Place this first pair on the far back side of a shelf and slide it to the right. Insert the second pair on the left side of the shelf, perpendicular to the first pair. Position the third pair directly in front of the first pair, allowing space for six brackets on each shelf. Follow this arrangement for the next three shelves. Secure each shelf with the provided bungee cord for safe transportation. Verify that a total of 24 brackets are correctly placed. The top shelf is designated for 24 orange top brackets. Slide these brackets into the shelf and align them properly. Secure the contents by closing and locking the front cover or bungee cover. The cart is now fully loaded and ready to be moved to the trailer loading area.

24. Preparing the Orange Pole Cart.

[0087] At this step, the user may gather the cart for the poles 30 and arrange the poles 30 in 7 columns and 3 rows. Place the provided plastic sheet between each row. Verify that there are 21 poles in total. Secure the poles 30 using the provided ratchet strap. Position 7 lifting pole tools on top of the (orange) poles 30. The cart is now ready and can be moved to the trailer loading area.

25. Placing all LED lights from the large cones into their designated positions on roll around cart #1. Additionally, the user may place all small cones and flat targets in the designated slot of cart #1. With this, carts #1 and #2 are fully prepared and ready to be transported to the trailer loading area.
26. Managing the Cable cart. The user may insert the coiled stringer power cables 60 onto the designated lower shelf. The cable should be in two separate bundles, with each bundle placed on its respective left and right-side square posts. Additionally, lay the other two cables on top of the cords that are already present in the cart.

27. Removing Line Tape.

[0088] User may carefully peel off the line tape by slowly walking backwards while pulling the tape away from the line. This method helps minimize shearing of the tape, protecting the line and reducing leftover residue. To remove any remaining tape residue, take the bundle of scrap tape and scrub it over the affected area.

28. Moving all Completed Carts to the Trailer Location and Verifying their Relocation.

[0089] The user may ensure that all completed carts have been moved to the trailer area.

29. Switching Off Power and Generators.

[0090] At the power switch location, the user may ensure that all cables are disconnected from both the switch box and the generators. Coil all extension cords and store them in the designated holding area. Turn the gas cap to the off position and secure it, then cover the generators. Coil up all the long pigtails from the power switch. Detach the switch box from the fence and set it on one of the generator handles. Finally, relocate the two generators and the switch to the staging area.

30. Conducting DJ Take Down and Packing.

[0091] The DJ will adhere to a distinct procedure for dismantling and packing equipment. Verify that all individual components are ready for volunteers to transport to the trailer area: Base Speaker/mat, Overhead LED rack display, laser component, chair, large Honda generator, and any extension cords in proximity. The DJ equipment breakdown is now complete and ready to be moved to the trailer loading area.

31. Completing the Final Trailer Packing.

[0092] This is the final packing step inside the trailer, a task that will take about 20 minutes. The user may make sure that all components not on rolling carts are properly positioned and secured as specified: Lifting Pole (7), Laser equipment, base speaker with mat, boom box, loose ball baskets, overhead LED rack display, and two small roll-around carts.

[0093] In one embodiment, the method of the present invention can be facilitated by a system comprising: initial locational target components placed in a court having at least four fences, wherein the initial locational target components are placed on the at least four fences of the court; telescopic poles (and base pedestals) 30 placed on the at least four fences of the court, wherein the telescopic poles (and base pedestals) 30 are attached to the initial locational target components; a continuous strap line on the at least four fences created by straps 10 attached to a plurality of baseline chain-link fencing posts 15, utilizing dual-function overhead strapping, wherein the plurality of baseline chain-link fencing posts 15 are attached to the at least four fences; and a fluorescent tape attached to the court; blacklight fixtures placed in the court; LED magnetic flashing lights placed in the court and a plurality of LED stringer power cords attached to the LED magnetic flashing lights.

[0094] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
