Grassroots and Mini Football Adjustment

Improvements were made to meet the propositions of specific Grassroots and Mini Football Competitions. We have optimized the process of managing the matches with no results entered and added the functionality for more user-friendly entry of lineups for grassroots/mini-football.

Certain competitions especially the ones at the youngest and more informal levels are defined as non-competitive and the results are not recorded in the COMET System. Therefore we have upgraded the match status transition action so that the 0:0 result is forced automatically in case there is no score added.

Moreover, as there are certain “informal” competitions in which goalkeepers and captain are not defined (all players rotate in goals and there is no captain), we have added the possibility to set the “Goalkeeper not required” and “Captain not required” options on your competition setting.

Force 0-0

In case there is no result entered on the match, you are able to set it to status PLAYED without entering 0:0 result manually, i.e. if there is no result entered the system will force the 0:0 result when the match is set to PLAYED. You are able to set the match without the result to status PLAYED from Match Screen or Search Matches Console.

• Hit the Save as PLAYED button
