GotSport Scores and Result Submission Guideline

Match Result Entry Deadlines

Both teams are responsible for ensuring that at least the match score is entered on GotSport. This must be completed by 19:00 at the latest on the day of the game. For evening fixtures, scores should be entered by noon the following morning. In addition, the fully completed match card should be uploaded to GotSport within 24 hours of the game.

Procedure for Un-played or Abandoned Matches

If a match is not played or is abandoned for any reason, teams should not attempt to update the result on GotSport—this task is reserved for the league. However, both teams must email their Division Secretary or, for Trophy Events, the Trophy Event Division Secretary, with an explanation of why the match was not played. This should be done before 19:00 on Saturday, or alternatively, the TM&RR match report should be completed at the earliest opportunity, and no later than 19:00. Note an Abandoned match must have started and then been Abandoned before it's end.

TM&RR Match Report Clarification

Please note that submitting the TM&RR match report for completed games does not replace the requirement to also complete the GotSport score report.

County FA - Report IT

 

Report It - Online/mobile process for reporting Safeguarding Concerns, Incidents and Discrimination

Berks and Buck County FA have updated our process for reporting safeguarding concerns and reporting incidents at matches/training, in line with The FA’s online Discrimination reporting process.

The new process now means you can report safeguarding concerns, incidents, and discrimination, online straight from your mobile phone, tablet or other devices making it easier to report issues as and when they arise, from the training ground to the touchline.

There are three separate forms, one for each area and we will be promoting this new process regularly across the season via our social media channels – any support you can give to this work would be greatly appreciated.
