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 from submitting late entries and to prevent lineups from being entered days (and even weeks) before the match. The latter may negatively impact sanction enforcement, for example, if players are added to lineups in round 15 before they have even played round 14 (as they could have been sent in round 14 and suspended for 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 when they can change the lineup.
The club manages match overrides in this setting, and the user has no restrictions, even if a value is present in the field.
Latest entry of lineups
Restricts club users from changing the 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. The club manages match overrides in this setting, and the user has no limits, even if a value is present in the field.
Shirt numbers can be blank
This option allows you to skip setting shirt numbers when preparing the lineup. The shirt number can be added and will be saved, but it will still add the player even if left empty.
Kits required
This setting can enable checking if the Club Kit is set correctly before confirming the lineup. There are three options for the setting:
None - no restriction; the lineup can be confirmed without the 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
