Top tips

Get parents on the app early. Ask every parent to download Matchday at the start of the season, so availability replies come in on time.
The match return includes: the result, referee marks, Respect marks, a pitch mark, any league questions, and player stats (starters, subs, goals, assists and cards).
Referee mark of 60 or below? You must give reasons in the comments box.
Check your stats before you save. Once a result is entered, stats can lock. If you need to change them after that, contact your league.
One Full-Time login per league. If your team plays in two leagues, you will have two logins.
Match fees in the app only work if the club has set up payments. Speak to the committee before using them.
