time. Then click Forward button to swithch to PreGame mode. Then click on
Play button again; the Step/Pause button will get enabled; the system
switches to the regular play mode.
6) Loading the situation file.
In the paused state, choose the situation file using Load button. In the
Situation Setup dialogue that follows, set the number of repetitions of the
selected situation and the duration (repetiton period). Then click OK.
7) Running TOS without the monitor.
Start the server and then the teams. Teams will begin playing the game on
their own if the monitor does not connect to the server after a pre-defined
time interval since the server had started (90 seconds by default; this time
can be set using the server initialization file). 
The latter feature is useful for evaluating the AI team by repeatedly
playing same situation, say the corner kick, attack on the goal, etc.

"observer.bat" in a DOS window.
