App Connectivity
Launching the app for the first time
When you login to the app for the first time, please ensure your phone is connected to the internet (either WiFi or data network).
The app will download all your relevant game information the first time you login, including the details of players in the grade for your team and two grades above/below your grade. This may take a minute or two, depending on the total number of players.
Working offline
You can create team sheets and score the game offline, however, information (e.g., team sheets and scores) will only sync up when you are back online. So, if you intend using the app without internet connection, it is recommended that you launch the app while online before the game to sync in any recently updated game information.
Poor connection
When the app is open and you have little to no connection, you will see a yellow bar with a message: Poor connection, app is offline. Click here to reconnect.
When you click on the yellow bar to reconnect, the app will attempt to refresh the screen and sync any recent information if there is sufficient internet connection.
Submitting a Team Sheet
Note that you will be unable to select players from other squads or see the opposition team sheet while offline and if you try to submit a team sheet, you will see a red bar and the message: App Offline - Team sheet not sent
Your team sheet has not been sent. When you are back online, close the app and relaunch it.
Click on the Officials icon to reattempt submitting the team sheet. The red bar will disappear if it has been sent.
Submitting Results
On a similar note, when you try to submit your score when offline, the message will read: Results not sent.
When you are back online, close and reopen the app.
Click on the Officials icon to reattempt submitting the score. The red bar will disappear if it has been sent.
