When a player is registered to multiple clubs, associations, or provinces but is not immediately system recognised as the same person (perhaps due to mistakenly entering an incorrect Name or Date of Birth with one organisation, which is later rectified), Sporty will automatically identify these cases in the system if a transfer should have taken place once the correct details have been updated.
- The player will remain active with their oldest organisation (i.e. where they were registered first), and have any registrations with their newer organisation revert to a "Pending" state.
- The administrators of the newer organisation will then receive an email notifying that a duplicate registration has been retroactively identified and that their registration has been reverted to "Pending".
- The player can now be actioned as a normal registration & an official transfer can be initiated.
Example
- 01/02/2025 - Percy Lorrance registers as a Football player with Club A. He enters his Date of Birth as 17/01/2002. The registration is approved.
- 01/04/2025 - Percy Lorrance registers as a Football player with Club B. He enters his Date of Birth as 17/10/2002. The registration is approved.
- 22/05/2025 - Percy realises he entered the incorrect Date of Birth with Club A & he updates it to 17/10/2002. Sporty now realises the two Percy's are the same person. His registration with Club B is set to Pending. The Club B administrators receive an email notifying them that a transfer will be required to transfer Percy into their club. Below is an example of the email that is received.
- 23/05/2025 - An administrator from Club B requests for Percy to be transferred to their club.
- 24/05/2025 - The transfer is approved. Club A Updates Percy's registration from "Active" to "Transferred" & Club B updates Percy's registration from "Pending" to "Active".
