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

- Select the + to add them to the line-up
- Press the - button to remove the fill in from the line-up
