Lineup Validations and Restrictions
Competition Administrators can limit the time period during which the clubs can submit their lineups by setting the maximum and minimum number of minutes before the match kick-off (planned start time).
This feature's purpose is to prevent clubs' late entries and to prevent lineups from being entered days (and even weeks) before the match. The latter may negatively impact sanction enforcement, e.g., if players are added to lineups in round 15 before they even play round 14 (as they could have been sent in round 14 and suspended from round 15).
Earliest entry of lineups
Restricts club users from changing the lineup a given number of minutes before the match kick-off.
If the value is left blank, then the club user has no restriction on how early he can change the lineup.
Club manages match overrides in this setting, and the user has no restriction, even if there is a value in the field.
Latest entry of lineups
Restricts club users to change lineup after several minutes before the match Kick-Off.
If the value is left blank, then the club user has no restriction on how late he can change the lineup.
Club manages match overrides in this setting, and the user has no restriction even if there is a value in the field.
Shirt numbers can be blank
This option allows you to not set shirt numbers when preparing the lineup. The shirt number can be added, and it will be saved, but it will add the player even if it’s left empty.
Kits required
This setting can enable checking if the Club Kit is set correctly before confirming the lineup. There are two 3 options for the setting:
None - no restriction; the lineup can be confirmed without Club Kit
Player - The Player Kit is mandatory, and the user won’t be able to confirm the lineup without it
Player and Goalkeeper - Player and Goalkeeper Kit are mandatory, and the user won’t be able to confirm the lineup without them
