Feature Description 

“Get Active Kids Vouchers” Victoria

 

The 'sports voucher' program is designed to increase the number of children playing organised sport by reducing cost as a barrier to participation. The Victorian Government provides vouchers to participants which can then be used at checkout via PlayHQ and is deducted from their fees.  Organisations will be able to report on these transactions to claim reimbursement.

Each organisation that wishes to be involved must be an approved activity provider and parents/guardians must also apply to the government to receive their unique voucher code.

New Organisation Selector

 

We’re constantly looking for ways to make the PlayHQ experience more efficient. Changing from an organisational filter to search is an example of that, increasing the speed of locating organisations.

To keep load time to a minimum, search is enabled after three key strokes. This feature also allows for search of non-alpha characters, an example of this would be St Francis’ Football Club.

Adding Fixture Upload Help Text

Feature Description 

Emergency Players

 

Players are named as emergencies for a game to cover any late changes to players named in the lineup for a game.  When selecting a lineup prior to a game, team selectors can now add "emergency" players, who can take the place of any player in the "lineup" if someone is unavailable to play due to illness or injury.

Feature Description 

Fall Of Wicket

 

A wicket falls and the team score is recorded into PlayHQ at point of dismissal. Although it mightn’t seem like much, at the end of an innings we’re all guilty of scanning through the fall of wicket column to analyse a team's batting performance. This is now possible on PlayHQ.

Net Run Rate Calculation

 

Cricket e-scoring now calculates a teams run rate, this will also feed into team score projection.

Unable To Exit Event Log On Mobile Device

E Scoring Performance Improvements

Event log now reads from key intervals during the match rather than every ball/event. This was affecting performance especially in longer formats.

Scoring Buttons Now Pinned

Previous to this enhancement, scoring buttons were at times lost off the screen. Now buttons are pinned to the bottom of the device.
