Event Prerequisites

When creating a new event, you must define a specific Event Type, such as UEFA PRO, UEFA A, National C, or other. Each Event Type may include some mandatory prerequisites that any applicant must fulfill before applying for any event of such Event Type.

For example, the Application to a UEFA A Event will be prevented for Persons who do not have a valid Prerequisite (UEFA B License) at the time of application.

Administration

To add a new prerequisite to a specific Event Type:

1. Access the Admin app. The Admin app is available via a direct link: add /appadmin to your Comet homepage address, e.g., http://comet.concacaf.com/appadmin or http://comet.irishfa.com/appadmin.

2. From the General menu on the right, select Event Types. This gives you a list of all defined event types, including information about their IDs, registration types, parents, etc.
   

   

3. Select any Event Type from the list. Clicking the Prerequisites tab opens a page listing the prerequisites every participant must fulfill before applying to an event.

Prerequisites, in the form of lists of Title/License Types, are considered mandatory and cumulative, so in the above example, the Applicant must meet both prerequisites (rows).

If more than one Title/License is listed under the same prerequisite (under the same row), an applicant can fulfill only one of them to be able to meet that prerequisite. E.g., in the above image, the Applicant will need either a Doctor's License or PVG, or both; one is enough.

4. A click on the 👁️ Visualise button on the upper right changes the display of the prerequisites. This view shows a diagram of the prerequisites an applicant must fulfill, alone or combined. According to an example in the following photo, to apply to the UEFA PRO Event, an applicant needs to have Doctors License (Staff) OR PVG (Person) AND UEFA A (Coach) prerequisites fulfilled.

5. You can edit a prerequisite set simply by selecting it from Visualise or Table View. Choosing a set of prerequisites opens a pop-up window where you can change its name and add or remove related prerequisites.

After you finish editing, don’t forget to press the 💾 Save button.

6. Clicking the Add button in the upper right of the window opens a pop-up window that lets you add a new prerequisite. After adding a Name, select one or more Title/License from the dropdown. To save the changes, press the 💾 Save button.

Please note that both Name and Title/License fields are mandatory and cannot be left empty.

7. To delete a set of prerequisites, press the 🪣 Bin icon on the right side of the window. Please note that this option is only available in the Table view. (The 🪣 Bin icon is visible in the second photo on this page.)

Consider that every event of the same Event type will have the same prerequisites defined in the Admin app. Following this example, all UEFA PRO event type events will require participants to have the Doctors License (Staff) OR PVG (Person) AND UEFA A (Coach) prerequisites fulfilled.

Age Requirement

In addition to Titles/Licenses, the participant's Age can also be set as a prerequisite. More precisely, at the Event Type level, the Admin can set the Minimum Age, the Maximum Age, or both.

The age limits can be set by clicking the Edit button and then entering the desired Min/Max Age.

Individuals who do not meet the Age Requirements for a specific Event (too young or too old, calculated as of the Event's Start Date) will be prevented from applying.

Participant’s View

As a participant, to apply to the event, access the MyComet App (by adding /mycomet to your Comet homepage address or from the direct link in the COMET App).

From the menu on the right, select Events and then select an Event you want to apply to. You can search for a specific event by typing a part of its name in the 🔍 Search bar.

Clicking the ➡️ Start button opens an Event with its details and, if no prerequisites are expected, enables a user to apply for the selected event.

The event in the following photo is of a UEFA PRO event type, and, as previously seen, requires a participant to have a Doctors License (Staff) OR PVG (Person) AND UEFA A (Coach) prerequisites fulfilled. Since the currently logged-in participant doesn’t have any prerequisites fulfilled (as indicated by the Circled X logo), they cannot apply to this event.

In the example below, one but not all prerequisites are met, the Apply button remains invisible, and the applicant cannot apply.

On the contrary, an APPLY HERE button will be shown if a user has met all prerequisites, as shown in the example below.

Furthermore, if no prerequisites are required for an Event Type (as in the example below), the APPLY button will be regularly shown to participants.

The rest of the application process will follow the standard event application workflow, depending on the Event Application Types.
