Is squadi the actual table that nnsw go off? Or do they have a proper one that?s actually correct. Because I?ve seen so many wrong scores posted along a few grades over the years. It can?t be that hard to upload results surely.Originally Posted by WOW2.0
Maybe it?s because they are letting young refs to upload them.
Is it just me or a referees getting younger and younger these days? They probably don?t know how to do it.
This year was the first year my son has been required to upload scores and information direct to squadi.This is done at halftime and full time and the centre referee is responsible for inputting it and information is correlated between all officials (who also keep track of goals and cards).My son had issues with it in the pre-season trials in which case he sent the relevant information directly to NNSW if squadi wasnt working.So far this season he hasnt had any issues so it may be more a case of human error rather than a problem with the app.As for your other question,yes referees are getting younger.Ive commented on that issue in the thread before and you only need to look back a few pages to see why.Its no secret,kids dont want to deal with the abuse.So if you have time go sit the course and get involved,and get your child to do the same.If thats not possible the least you can do is not abuse officials and if you see any cases of it help out and stop it.Because the longer I am involved the game,its always the parents who dont know the rules who yell the loudest and then complain the most when they dont have refs for their matches.
Lets get off the self righteous horse for a minute.
Ive offered at several clubs to do those same jobs admin, scores, game day sheets but clubs are insular and prefer to keep those jobs for the mates and wives.
And if kids are illiterate they probably shouldnt be refing. No I dont abuse refs before you point your grubby finger just morons on here.
Im not sure what youre getting angry about Jim but I wasnt directing anything at you,or the post I replied to.The simple fact is there arent enough referees,so if anyone wants to help then theres an option.In the same way clubs dont have enough volunteers in other areas so if youre part of that community who puts in to help then none of my comments have anything to do with the likes of you.I dont referee either,but I do my part in other areas.I dont expect everyone to be able to do it,but it would be nice to see a bit more appreciation for the kids that do have a go at refereeing.
If the clubs see the wrong scores uploaded, the parents are always pretty quick to let their coach / team manager know, if they don't already (from what I've experienced) and then the club emails northern and it's fixed. The app can be janky especially when washouts happen and they I assume manually enter them as washouts during the week.
If the refs accidentally mash the wrong buttons there's about 50 zillion adults around who know how to get it fixed and I assume the lovely guy that manages the young referees would email the ref's who where on that day and confirm what they have written down separately to squadi - If your club can't be assed to follow it up, well probably best you take it up with them.
Such a non issue in the scheme of things. Let's at least get to the point we can have 2 linespeople for every game in our premier competitions, both boys and girls.
I'm not sure...but it is their official app for tracking all of this stuff
Data entry shouldn't be so hard...accuracy would be preferred to inaccurate real time scores (I feel)
