Competition Roles

This section of the Competition administration tools allows the authorized superuser to configure and organize specific competition roles. Competition roles differ from match roles in that persons added to the competition list (or catalogue) are pre-approved for match appointments within that competition. This ensures that only authorized officials can be assigned to matches.

Certain officials primarily serve at the competition level rather than the match level. Examples include:

• Competition Manager – Oversees all match operations within the competition.

• Disciplinary Manager – Handles disciplinary matters for the entire competition.

• Referee Manager – Assigns referees to matches within the competition.

Adding a person to the competition list does not mean they are assigned to a match. Instead, it allows them to be selected for individual matches when needed.

Administration of Competition Roles

Log in to the admin application with the necessary permissions to configure competition roles. Navigate to the left-side menu and expand the Competition section to access competition-related settings. Click on Competition Roles to view the existing roles and configure new ones.

Decide whether the role configuration should be based on Sport or Competition Type:

• Sport Definition: This means that all competitions within a sport (e.g., Football Male) share the same configuration, while other sports (e.g., Futsal Female or Beach Soccer Male) have their own configurations.

• Competition Type Definition: In this setup, each competition type has a separate configuration. If a new competition type is created, competition roles must be configured for that type.

Select the definition that aligns with your organization’s structure.
