Replacing a Fill-in record with a Registered Player

This article explains how club and associations administrators can add fill-in players to game line-ups.

Fill-In Records

It is important to note that when a fill-in is added to a line up, it does not create a registered participant profile. A fill-in record means:

• No checks are completed for any suspensions or life-bans.
• It contributes to an overall player's profile and statistics.
• A game will not be recorded against any participant record and therefore will not count for finals eligibility.
• On the playhq.com public match centre, the record with appear as ‘Fill In’ for that particular game.

Fill-In Players

Fill-in players can be added in two ways:

1. Whilst a game is being e-scored.
2. When selecting a line-up. This can be completed pre or post game.

Note: Once a lineup is locked, only association admins will be able to change the line-up and  add fill-in players.

Adding Fill-in Players Via Admin Portal

To add a fill-in via the admin portal:

1. Navigate to a game details page via Game Day.
2. On the relevant team, click 'Select Team.
   
   
3. Click the ‘Select Player” button.

4. Select ‘Fill-in Player’.
5. Enter the players details. First name and last Name are mandatory.

On the scoring page, click on the 3-dot ellipse next to the option, select "Lineups" to add the players.

6. Select the + to add them to the line-up.
7. Press the - button to remove the fill in from the line-up.
