This article explains how club and associations administrators can add fill-in players to game line-ups.
Note: This feature is available to Netball, Basketball (excluding NSW and TAS), Cricket and Hockey.
Fill-In Records
It is important to note that when a fill-in is added to a line up it does not create a registered participant profile. A fill-in record means:
No checks are completed for any suspensions or life-bans
Contribute to an overall’s players profile and statistics
A game will not be recorded against any participant record and therefore count for finals eligibility
On the playhq.com public match centre the record with appear as ‘Fill In’ for that particular game
Adding a Fill-In
Fill in players can be added in two ways:
Whilst a game is being e-scored
When selecting a line-up. This can be completed pre or post game.
Note once a line-up is locked only association admins will be able to change the line-up and therefore add fill-in players
