Adding Officials or Duty Teams to fixtures can be done directly from SKED Draws & Results.
When an Official registration form is being used, registered officials can be selected from within SKED Draws & Results when assigning officials to fixtures. Examples of Officials registration forms are the Netball Umpire Registration form, or NZ Rugby League Match Official Registration form. Additionally, these officials can be granted permission to submit a result for the fixture through the Sporty Live Scoring App.
When an Official registration form is not in use Officials details can be manually added via Organisation settings.

Live Scoring App & AppointMe
If a competition is linked to an Officials Registration Superform a User Access Email can be sent to the official - they can then enter results via the Sporty live scoring app. To score a game, a team access code is required.
Officials can access the app to submit an official score for the fixture using the same username and password that they use to access AppointMe to set their availability.
For details about officials access refer to AppointMe for Officials User Guide
Officials can view all fixtures that have been assigned to them in AppointMe through the scoring app. Officials can click View Team to view the submitted game day teams for each playing team.
The lead official for a fixture can submit the score for a fixture, in the same way as teams do, detailed in the scorer user guide. An official score submission is considered definitive.
