If you wish to make the teams you have created and finalised allocating players to Official, then please follow these steps.
IMPORTANT: There is currently a bug when making teams official so please do not make them official until further notice
First, log into your club's Play Football Admin account using the link below.
Once logging in, click on "TEAMS" and then "Team Management".
Teams now exist under three different status, these are:
| Status | Meaning | ...in short |
| Draft |
| Club says 'I'm still working out my team' |
| Official |
| Club says 'My team allocation is sorted, it's ready to be locked' |
| Locked |
| Association says 'This team is locked in for the season...unless I want to change it' |
Once clicking on "Team Management" you can review the status of your teams under 'STATUS'.
This is the expected process for managing Team allocation for a competition will run per this example:
| Step | Phase | Info |
| 1 | Preparation | Teams are created for the new season (rolled over/created/adjusted) |
| 2 | Preparation | The Association (Comp Admin) communicates a deadline for all teams to be ‘Made Official’. Note: this is communicated in training to clubs, not through the system |
| 3 | Allocation | Participants register |
| 4 | Allocation | Players are allocated to a team |
| 5 | Allocation | Non-Players are allocated to a team |
| 6 | Allocation | Teams are now held in a ‘Draft’ status |
| 7 | Team Locking | (in advance of deadline day) Teams need to be made ‘Official’ by the club. This means all registrants now need to be made active |
| 8 | Team Locking | The Association will then ‘Lock’ the teams, preventing any movement of registrants within the teams by the Club Admin. Associations can amend teams as normal |
| 9 | Auto Removal | Any de-registrations of members in the team will automatically remove the member from the team |
Once you are satisfied with the allocation of your teams, you can either make them official in bulk or individually.
TIP: Teams cannot be made un-Official please ensure you are selecting the correct team before performing this action
To bulk 'Make Official', tick the box next to the teams you wish to make official. Once you have selected all your teams click on "Please select bulk action...", select "Make Official" and the clicl "Go".
To make your teams official individually or incrementally, click on the pencil edit icon next to the team you wish to make official and then click "Make Official".
Management of De-Registered registrants allocated to a team
Registrants allocated to a team who subsequently de-register will automatically be removed from the team
