MyCOMET Features described in this article will be deployed on all Demo instances by 28 October 2026 and migrated to Production on 05 January 2027.
After creating and configuring a new competition, open the Clubs tab of the competition. It lists all participating clubs (or teams) with their number, name and status.
-
Click the Open in MyCOMET icon next to a team to open its Competition Team page in MyCOMET. There you can manage its application and its Competition Roster. Players and team officials are not shown or edited on this tab.
-
Use the Teams link in the toolbar to open the competition's Teams tab in MyCOMET.
Add Clubs Manually
The ➕ Add button is available for all Application Modes except Just Pay. In Just Pay competitions, clubs join only through Competition Applications in MyCOMET.
Press the ➕ Add button to open the list of clubs that can participate in the competition. The status of the added clubs depends on the Application Mode of the competition:
-
No Application Mode (None/Manual) - clubs are set directly to CONFIRMED.
-
Pay After Approval, Pay Later, Just Apply, Just Apply With Approval - clubs are set to ENTERED, and the club is notified by email that it can now apply. The competition is shown in the club's Competitions menu, where the club completes the application: in Pay After Approval and Just Apply With Approval, the application moves to SUBMITTED for review; in Pay Later, it moves to SUBMITTED and waits for payment; in Just Apply, it is CONFIRMED right away. An ENTERED club can also be REJECTED or CANCELLED.
Which clubs are listed depends on the following rules:
-
Active status - only active clubs (or teams) can be added to an active competition. Inactive ones can be added only while the competition is inactive.
-
Clubs or teams - if the Only Teams in Competitions system parameter is enabled, only teams can be added. Otherwise, both clubs and teams are listed.
-
Hierarchy - by default, clubs below the competition's organization in the hierarchy are listed. If the competition setting Allow Teams Outside Hierarchy is enabled, teams outside the hierarchy can also be added.
-
Competition elements - only clubs already added to the parent competition are listed. Enable the Show All switch to see all eligible clubs.
From that list, you can select the maximum number of clubs that you have defined while creating a New Competition.
After selecting clubs, press the Add selection button to create a list of clubs that participate in the competition. New options will appear after you have selected all the clubs, such as the 🕔 Schedule rounds button, the 🔍 Preview button, and the ⚙ Start competition button.
The position of clubs on the table is significant when planning the rounds, so it is possible to change it using the arrows on the right side of the table. The arrows are available only before the competition starts.
Schedule Rounds and Start Competition
Press the 🕛 Schedule rounds button to open the respective console, and then select the default time and date for each round. When Competition is started, these datetimes will be set by default for all scheduled matches per round.
Moreover, you can enable/disable the Reset yellow cards option. If this option is enabled, it deactivates all accumulated yellow cards at the end of that round. It is most commonly used in elimination competitions, e.g., in quarter finals, so that players are cleared before the semifinals.
After that, press the 🕛 Start competition button. The system will generate the schedule and create all matches per round based on the chosen competition system.
Before starting the competition, you can preview/test the schedule that will be created by clicking on the 🔍 Preview button.
Override Home Club's Stadium
In some tournament scenarios, all matches may be scheduled to take place in the same stadium or pitch. To accommodate this, COMET offers the functionality to override the default home club's stadium for competitions. This functionality is particularly useful when dealing with children’s tournaments held in neutral venues or when logistical constraints require all matches to be played in a specific stadium or pitch.
Each team's stadium in the competition is set in MyCOMET. Click the Open in MyCOMET icon next to the team on the Clubs tab, then on the Application tab of the Competition Team, click Edit in the Info panel and select the desired Stadium. The club's (or team's) own facilities are listed first. Once saved, the Home Club's Stadium is replaced by the selected stadium for that team's matches in this competition. To play all matches at the same venue, select the same stadium for every team.
Matches Tab
A new Matches tab will appear, where you can search through rounds and select any match you want.
The round, stadium, date, and time of every match will be predefined based on defaults and competition settings, but administrators can change this data at any point.
Click the match to open the form to enter match details. On that form, you can enter general data about the match (date and time, stadium, officials, final result, match summary, etc.). The time and date are inherited from the round; that is, they are entered initially, but if the time or date changes, those fields can be easily updated. Clicking the 🖊️ Edit button at the top of the form will enable you to enter the necessary changes.
