Match Card Management • It is IMPORANT that the Manager has a correctly filled in match card at the beginning of the match • Electronic Match Cards. This will allow Team Managers to select and submit their team for the match electronically, using a smartphone. Once both managers have accepted the opposition team, the electronic match card will be locked and sent to the Referee module. At the conclusion of the game the Referee will be able to enter the score, mark any players that received a caution and / or send-off • This is used as reference in the case of Insurance Claims • It must show all team players and any borrowed players • You must also have a photo sheet of all the players to be shown to the opposing manager on request

Match Card Management • U12-U18 • MUST show shirt numbers • These need to be set up by the Manager at the beginning of the season • Once handed over, ONLY those players on the card can take to the field. (No-one arriving late and not on the card can play) • Advisable to put EVERY team players name on the card just in case – UP to 16 ONLY

Match Card Management • Match Cards – Fines • NSFA levy quite stringent fines for incomplete Match Cards, including • Missing photos (on Photo sheet) • Missing shirt numbers • Missing Match card • Missing Players from the Card • If a team becomes a serial offender then we will pass those fines onto the team/parents.

(Photos do not appear on the match card itself.) • Match Cards – Shirt Numbers • Click on Club Shirts and assign shirt numbers to each player (shirt numbers are not required for U6-U11) • Shirt numbers will then be printed automatically on the match card. For any players who you don’t assign shirt numbers, you will need to handwrite their shirt number on the match card

Match Card Management • Match Cards – Printing • When you [List upcoming games] You are given the option to [Print Match Card]. • We recommend that managers print several copies of the match card (without specific fixture details) and keep them in the cars of the coach and manager. • This means you won’t get caught out by last minute technical problems like internet access unavailable or printer not working. • There is a section on the match card for recording players borrowed from other teams.
