To be able to submit a team sheet and final scores you are required to login to the app. The first step to gain access to your team is to log into the app and enter the team access code for your team.
To begin, tap on the Login/Chat icon to login and tap on Register Here (if you are a new user) or enter your login details and tap on LOG IN (if you are an existing Sporty user). You will then need to enter your team access code.
Each team has a unique team access code, if you are accessing multiple teams you will need to enter multiple access codes.
Who will have access to the Team Sheets & Game Scoring?
Anyone who has been given scorer access to their team by their team administrator.
How many scorers can score the game?
It's important to note that while multiple people can be set up as scorers for a team, only one person can actively score a game at a time.
What am I scoring during the game?
The final score recorded is the total number of points. For example, if Team A makes 3 tries and Team B makes 5 tries, Team A receives a final score of 15 points and Team B receives a final score of 25 points. 1 try = 5 points.
I am a referee and a team manager, how do I log in to the Global Games app?
If you are both a referee and a coach/team manager or scorer, you’ll use the same login. The options available per team once logged in depend on your role. For example, referees cannot submit team sheets, so if you open a team as a referee instead of a manager, the option to submit a team sheet won’t appear.
I am a referee but I can't see my games when I log in to the app?
If you've registered as a referee against the appropriate referee registration form, you will be assigned a game or games by HQ. Only once you have been assigned a game will you see games populate in the app.
How do I update player details (including their profile photo) if they are incorrect?
Player details can only be updated by accessing TeamBuilder (via a Browser). View your team and edit the specific player's registration record.
The original team entry confirmation email contains a link that provides you access directly to your team, if you do not have this email any longer or did not bookmark the link in your browser, please contact HQ.
