Options
Rematch has many settings in the Options tab to customize its behavior or appearance. Unless otherwise noted, all of these options are checkboxes to turn the option on or off. On a new install, all options are off.
| Targeting Options | |
|---|---|
| Prompt To Load | When your new target has a saved team not already loaded, and the target panel isn't on screen, display a popup asking if you want to load the team. This is only for the first interaction with a target. You can always load a target's team from the target panel. |
| With Rematch Window | Prompt to load with the Rematch window instead of a separate popup dialog. |
| Always Prompt | Prompt every time you interact with a target with a saved team not already loaded, instead of only the first time. |
