“WGS” – Whole Game System. ESBFL up-date. FAQ’s

We are making good progress and I think between us we have managed to work through the problems and issues you have come up against, and it will be easier next year!!  Well done all!!

If nothing else it is worth reading the Q&A section which I have Essexised as below:

 

Q – How do I get duplicated FAN records removed?

A – Please contact your County FA with details of the two FAN records for them to de-duplicate.

 

Q – How do I correct Date of Birth/Gender/Name for individuals?

A – Please contact your County FA who will be able to update the details if these are incorrect (note that if the gender or date of birth has not been set, you can amend it).

 

Q – What if a Team is not shown under a list of Club Teams?

A – Check with your County FA whether the team was affiliated – they may need to be added.

 

Q – What if a Team is shown with the wrong league (or no league)?

A – Check with your County FA whether the team has been assigned to the correct league, they can amend it if required.

 

Q – How do I add a Player Registration Officer to a Club?

A – Details are in the guidance for adding a Club Player Registration Officer role.

 

Q – Does a Youth Player have to have a Parent provided?

A – Not applicable to ESBL.

 

Q – Do I need to provide email address and date of birth for Parents?

A – Not applicable to ESBL.

 

Q – Do I need to provide a photograph for registration?

A – Not applicable to ESBL.

 

Q – Does a player need to have a FAN to be registered?

A – Yes, each player needs to be on Whole Game System, and a FAN (FA Number) will be automatically generated. This should then be their unique record for their football career.

 

Q – I have sent a consent request but the player is telling me that it has not arrived?

A – Please do not send if registering for ESBL. We are using hard copies of registration forms at present.  You need to check / tick “Offline Consent” which confirms you have a form signed (giving consent) by the player concerned.
