This screen allows a match result to be confirmed. After match results have been entered by one team, the opposing team confirms or disputes the result, and the association finalizes the result, resolving any disputes in the process.
Usually the home team will enter the match result, and the away team will confirm or dispute it. Other scenarios are supported:
| Note that match confirmation is only available where an association has enabled the feature. Only entry of the match scores is subject to confirmation, not the entry of individual player results and scores (which are entered by the appropriate club). |
The match details and result are displayed within the Match Result section of the page. The current Match status (see Enter Match Results for definitions) is displayed underneath this, along with any comments already entered by Clubs or the Association. The Actions section provides the appropriate options that can be taken by the User.
Note: Clubs confirm or dispute the information provided on the confirmation page, which does not include individual player scores (which are not part of the confirmation process). Confirmation basically serves to indicate that both sides agree on the final match score.
In the following examples, club A refers to the club that enters the result for a particular match (this may either be the home or away club). Club B refers to the side that is playing club A in that match.
Only club B can confirm the result. Select the Confirm result option within the Actions section and click the Update button
Both club A and club B can dispute the result. Select the Dispute result option within the Actions section. This will display a text box in which the reasons for the dispute may be entered. Text entered in this box will then display as Confirmation Comments for the appropriate club. Click the Update button to save. This will also send a notification email to the opposing club, and the association notifying of the dispute.
