If your association would like to have teams from one association play teams in another association, this is possible however there are rules around this in order for it to work correctly.
Teams across associations is only recommended if the team will be part of that competition in another association from round one. If the team from an association will only be part of the competition for a finals match then it can get more complicated and will require specifics in order for the team and members to display correctly. If you are wanting to use this process please click here.
If your association wants to use the teams across association process you will need to contact the support team via phone or email and get this configuration applied to your associations. You won't be able to use this function if it is not enabled.
Rules/Notes around teams across association:
- If you want team members from the team from the other association to be visible in the pre-game for matches you will need to register these members to that association - this is the only way to get players from that team to show in matches for that competition - this will mean that they will have two different association records for the season but it is the only way for players to show in the pre-game - they will need to register via a member to team form.
- If you don't want players from the other association team listed in pre-game then you don't need to register these players to that association just the team itself.
Teams across associations: team from other association will be part of competition from round one
In this example, Team A is played in Association A (source association) for U14s but is also going to be playing for the U14s competition in association B (host association).
Host association: the association that the team will be playing in for the specific competition.
Source association: the association that the team belongs to.
Note down the full team name, players (if players will be needed), and club that Team A is assigned to within Association A (source) as you will need it when adding this team to Association B (host).
Configure the competition in Association B to allow Team A:
1. Log into association B.
2. Competitions > list competitions > click into the U14s competition.
3. Competition configuration: edit > scroll to find ALLOW CREATE TEAMS ACROSS ASSOCIATION and tick the checkbox > update competition
You will now need to add the team A to the U14s competition:
Follow the instructions listed here to add Team A to the U14s competition in Association B.
You will now need to register the players from Team A into association B:
If you don't need players from Team A to be listed in pre-game for these matches then you don't need to do this- you can now just generate the competition fixtures which will include Team A.
If you wish to have players from Team A displaying in association B you will need to register/add them. You can do this via sending them an invite from team level to register to the team via a member to team form or manually add them.
1. Competitions > list competitions > click into the U14 competition
2. Go to teams > click into Team A > members > dashboard > invite teammates and follow the prompts
Or
3. Go to teams > click into Team A > members > list members > add > fill in the details for the first player and then repeat for all other players.
4. Once players have been added you can then generate the fixtures for the competition in which Team A will now display, and in pre-game these players will appear.
