Grassroots and Mini Football Adjustment

Upon meeting the requirements of specific Grassroots and Mini Football Competitions, COMET provides a fully optimized process for managing matches with no results entered, as well as functionality for a more user-friendly entry of lineups for grassroots/mini-football.

Specific competitions, especially those at the youngest and most informal levels, are defined as non-competitive, and their results are not recorded in the COMET System. Therefore, the match status transition action automatically forces a 0:0 result in case no score is added.

Moreover, as there are specific “informal” competitions in which goalkeepers and captains are not defined (all players rotate in goals and there is no captain), in competition settings, there is also the possibility to set the “Goalkeeper not required” and “Captain not required” options.

Force 0-0

If no result is entered for the match, you can set it to status PLAYED without manually entering a 0:0 result. In this case, if no result is entered, the system will automatically assign a 0:0 result when the match is set to PLAYED. You can set the match without a result to status PLAYED from the Match Screen or the Search Matches Console.

Match Screen

• Open the match in which results/ goals were not tracked

• Hit the Save as PLAYED button

• The match will be set to status PLAYED and 0-0 will be displayed

Search Matches Console

• Navigate to the menu item 🔍 Search Matches under the Competitions menu on the left nav-bar

• A screen similar to the New match form will appear on the screen, with the fields for filtering

• Enter the search criteria in the respective fields

• Select “no” in the dropdown of the Score entered field to filter the matches that do not have a result entered

• Hit the Edit button

• Set the Current status, Next status (to PLAYED), and add the Reason

• Hit the ✔️ Change status button

• The matches will be set to status PLAYED with a 0-0 result

Goalkeeper/Captain Not Required

In case the Goalkeeper and Captain should not be mandatory to set your match lineup:

• Open your competition

• Click on the Lineups tab

• Hit the 🖊️ Edit button

• Mark the checkbox next to the fields:

  • Goalkeeper not required

  • Captain not required

• Hit the 💾 Save button

These settings are copied from parent to child competitions, but can later be changed in the child competitions. These settings are by default not set (they are turned OFF).
