What is the difference between a program and a competition?
In PlayHQ, a program and a competition have many commonalities but some important differences. See the following table for a summary of the features provided by programs and competitions:
What is a local program?
A local program is one created and delivered by a club, association, or sport administrative body. A common example of a local program is a skills development program delivered during school holidays but the programs feature can also be used to manage player tryouts, player camps, and other non-competitive activities.
What is a shared program?
A shared program is a program created by a sport administrative body and which is 'shared' to linked clubs and associations who then deliver the program to registered participants. A common example of a shared program is one created by a sports national body (eg. AFL Auskick) and subsequently shared to and delivered by local associations and clubs (eg. AFL Auskick 'Centres').
- Shared programs can only be created by administrative bodies (typically at a National, State, or Regional level).
- The creating administrative body does not deliver the program. Instead, the program is 'shared' with linked club and/or association organisations who deliver the shared program to registered participants.
- Administrative body organisations below the program's creating administrative body can assist with the shared program's management by:
- Refining the list of association and club organisations that the program is shared with;
- Adding their own fees, custom fields, and products to registration forms; and
- Refining season and registration dates.
