ECNL has launched a fully digital platform for ECNL and ECNL RL match day procedures that replaces the paper match reports and physical passcards while allowing team managers and referees to manage all steps of the gameday process from their phones!
1. The digital match day process is handled on a smartphone. The team managers will start this process upon player check-in, using their phone(s). Following the check-in of both team rosters, the app provides the opportunity for a referee to scan a QR code, enabling the referee to handle all additional digital tasks on their own phone. If the referee does not have a phone or does not want to use their own phone for match day procedures, this will not stop the match day process. There is a clickable option within the app for the team manager to use their own phone in support of the referee.
2. We have included graphics in the links below to familiarize yourself and all referees with the digital interface that will ultimately lead to a smoother and quicker experience on match day. These links provide step-by-step guides to what will be viewed on the phone during the game day process.
3. In the event there is one or more red cards (or double yellow), there will be a requirement to complete an incident report through the app. It is highly recommended that the referee completes that incident report on-site, immediately following the game. In the event the referee is unable to do so, there is an option to have the report emailed to the referee to complete later. Please be aware when completing this report later, the referee will be required to create a FREE account within Athlete One. This will also lead to quicker logins in the event you need to complete an incident report after the fact in a future match.
NOTE: the incident report provided to the ECNL does not replace a USSF Supplemental Report or any additional reporting requirements with the SRA
Below you will find all relevant links for walkthroughs and visual aids for all match day procedures. Please ensure these are shared with any referees who you will be assigning throughout the course of the 2024-25 season.
