Match Returns for all U9s to U14s YEL organised games
Despite numerous reminders we have sent out fines to 118 teams this week. This is not something we wish to do as it creates a huge amount of additional admin in terms of raising the fines as well as having to chase the outstanding information which is held within the match returns. Match Returns are a mandatory requirement for teams playing in the YEL. Please log into Full-Time after your game and make sure the information is completed ASAP. Full-Time gives us the exact time when the information is completed so we will be checking any teams that query being fined who state they have completed it. The rules are that it has to be completed within 48 hours of the game being played.
The YEL recommends the score is entered by SMS text and match returns are completed by logging into Full-Time.
PLEASE GET RESULTS IN TO THE YEL AS SOON AS THE MATCH IS FINISHED VIA SMS TEXT AND COMPLETE THE MATCH RETURN BY LOGGING INTO FULL-TIME
Can all club secretaries please get this message out to your managers.
