Respond to Match Appointments

Once the appointment has been entered and the match has been scheduled, the match officials can respond to the administrator from within the system.

Pending Appointments

You can respond to the appointment request by selecting the badge on the Question Mark Icon in the upper-right part of the screen, which indicates the number of pending requests (unresponded match appointments for the current user).

• On the upper-right of the screen, hit the Question Mark Icon

• This will redirect you to the Pending list of your Appointments that still need to be answered

• Tap on the match name (or the yellow circle), and you will be prompted to set your availability status; tap on the CONFIRMED or REJECTED button on the screen.

• Enter the reason/description for confirmation or rejection in the displayed screen.

• Click the checkmark icon ✔ to confirm

Push Notifications

A match official can be notified about the appointment by a push notification sent to the official’s mobile device. The system sends push notifications during time-sensitive transitions in the new match official workflow whenever the admin takes action, and the match official needs to be informed.

This notification contains the title informing the official of the action needed (here, it’s reviewing the appointment for the 1st Assistant Referee). The notification details provide key information such as the date, time, location, match, and competition. The name of the appointed official will appear after a dash ("-").

In the case of the previous image, when the Match Official is asked to review an appointment, their status for that match remains PENDING until they confirm the appointment.

Tapping on the notification will take you directly to the Pending list of your Appointments, where you are prompted to confirm your availability for the match based on the notification received.

Please note that the notification’s title will indicate if any action is required from you. If the title begins with CONFIRMED or CANCELLED, tapping the notification will simply open the Match details page.

Push notifications can be muted or disabled through your mobile phone settings, not within the COMET Football app.
