Some we have our first round of association football today. 

Have used DRIBL successfully for some NPL youth games. Our association is using DRIBL for match sheets after Icompman closed down.

And of all days, the DRIBL app is updated today so couldn't enter half-time and full-time scores as well as cards through the phone app. 

iCompMan doesn't exist anymore??

that dribl app is a headache, coaches/managers gotta fill out players, numbers scores at the end of the match, pretty much we are the officials as well as the players. Council finally let us play on their precious grounds after so many ground closures, kids these days will never get to experience on anything but perfect pitches with the ground closures.

No wonder our national team has backwards over the years, kids can never get to train or play when conditions change

Yep. The guy who ran it pulled the plug.

I believe Blacktown District  Association used DRIBL last year.

The concept of electronic team sheets is a good one. And is not much different to paper team sheets. Players always had to be put on the team sheets manually (with their FFA number). After the the referee/s would enter the scores and cards and sign-off. That paper team sheet had to be sent to a central location for data entry.

In electronic team sheets, yellow card accumulation is automatic and the suspended player cannot be added to the teamsheet. The same applies to red cards. However, send-off reports submitted may result in a player suspension from 2 to 10 weeks.

The issue with the electronic team sheets are the different reporting requirements. For instance, NPL senior competitions games requires the scorers name and times of goals. This is not required for association competitions and, as far as I am aware, NPL Youth and AYL. And I had used successfully DRIBL for a few NPL Youth games before yesterday whereI entered scores and cards on my phone. Then, a change to the APP on the first competition day in my association it all changes. 

As to the groups, we have 4 councils who affect our grounds. 3 of those 4 councils have been unable to mow grounds and install goal posts at most grounds due 2 recent rain events. Plus the water table seems to full for the first time in years. Also, doesn't help when councils use areas for grounds where run-off accumulates.

Well, good thing you're all doing the teething problem solving

That way, when I make my glorious return to refereeing next year, I'll have a pristine bug-free app to use (hopefully?)

Mr Sarcasm.

You live in hope if you think DRIBL will be bug free next year. 

Remember that Football NSW is driving all the associations to total conformity

I am over 35... inches tall

If I jump really hard I can touch the crossbar with the slightest of touches you'll need Snickometer and hot spot with DRS to see

As goalkeeper in a UNSW futsal competition, my team made the semi-finals

It's not the size of the goalie, it's the speed of his reflexes that matter most!

Congrats on making the semis, hope you'll go one better next time!

Let's just clarify when you talk about just about being able to jump to reach the cross bar you do mean full size goals not the Futsal ones.

Unless you have shrunk

For my association, some of our age groups start the official competition today.

Only the top division for All Age Men or All Age Ladies start this weekend with trial games still on for everyone else.

And as usually happens on the opening weekend of our competition, rain is forecast.

[StringerBellend]

We kicked off the season on the weekend, I think most games went ahead on the Saturday unfortunately my boys game was on Sunday and rained off.

 

[Davo]

We saw the draw and joked that they put round 1 before the Easter long weekend because it always gets rained off.

Then round 1 was rained off.
