  • Select your club’s tab.

 

 

Here you will see your club’s officials, kit details, players available for selection and the selected lineup. Let’s focus on the Available Players and Lineup sections of this page.

 

 

The Available Players section will display a list of all players that are available for selection for this match, showing their kit number, COMET ID, name, and four boxes below the letters L, SL, GK, and CP. Ensure that you click the Load available players switch to show the available player list.


Before we go into detail about what these letters mean, lets discuss the players that may or may not appear for selection.

 

The list of players visible will depend on the following: 

  • The type of competition (e.g. junior boys, mixed youth, senior women).
  • Whether a catalogue is used and/or required
  • The status of the player – they must be CONFIRMED in your club.

 

So ensure that you keep this mind when looking for players.

 

Now that we understand why we may or may not see players, lets dive into detail about what these letters mean. Quite simply, these letters correspond to the player’s role within a match:

 

L: Lineup. These are the players that will be in either your starting lineup or your bench. If only this box is ticked, the player is a substitute.

 

SL: Starting Lineup. These are the players that will start the game on the filed/court. If this box is ticked, then this player will be starting.

 

GK: Goalkeeper. These are the players that are goalkeepers in your squad. If this box is ticked, then the player is a Goalkeeper.

 

CP: Captain. These are the players that are captain in your squad. If this box is ticked, then the player is the team captain. Note that you can only have one captain for the match day squad.

 

PL: Played. You will see this one appear if the competition allows for rolling substitutes. If this box is ticked, then this player was used as a rolling sub during the game.

 

  • Input the players shirt number in the No. column.
  • Tick the relevant role for the player. 
  • Select the Submit Arrow to add the players to the Lineup section. 


 Note: Depending on competition regulations, the system may block you from adding too many players to the match lineup.



 Note: If a player is appearing in red this means that they are unavailable for match, this will likely be due to the player needing to serve a suspension, or not meeting start list requirements, e.g. no approved APA.
