Web App
Section titled “Web App”Competition Admin quick links
Section titled “Competition Admin quick links”The Competition Admin home page now includes card-based quick links for common workflows, including Manage Members, Match Schedule Admin, Match Schedule Admin Preview, and the Appointments vs Availability Grid. This gives administrators a clearer launch point when moving between competition setup, scheduling, member management, and reporting tasks.
Modernised Match Schedule Admin
Section titled “Modernised Match Schedule Admin”The Match Schedule Admin interfaces have been modernised to improve responsive rendering and make navigation easier across different screen sizes. This includes updates across appointment details, edit match, edit time, find official, suggest official, intelligent appointments, manage availability, filtering, move match, error check, clear draw, clear appointments, delete appointments, generate, reschedule, import, and export workflows.
These updates help administrators and coordinators work through scheduling tasks with less friction, especially when moving between several admin actions during a competition day.
Fixture Grid table layout
Section titled “Fixture Grid table layout”The Fixture Grid has returned to a table layout following customer feedback. The updated table is more responsive for mobile rendering while keeping the familiar grid-based view for reviewing fixtures.
Draw import preview
Section titled “Draw import preview”Draw import now previews changes before importing. This is the first iteration toward giving administrators more control over the draw import process before changes are applied to the match schedule.
Improved time editing
Section titled “Improved time editing”The Edit Time workflow now uses a dedicated SportsM8 time picker, making time changes more consistent with the refreshed admin modal design.
Kiosk display refresh
Section titled “Kiosk display refresh”The Kiosk match schedule display has been refreshed with an updated layout for large displays, clearer match cards, improved toolbar controls, a visible clock, optional published-status messaging, and a next-round countdown where configured. The kiosk can still show schedule information in fixture grid or table views depending on the display setup.
Payment run search and details
Section titled “Payment run search and details”The Competition Payment portal now includes improved payment run search and a detailed payment run view. Administrators can review a run summary, payment criteria, registration field filters, match appointment filters, status, outcome, and the number of payment records generated.
Match official team management
Section titled “Match official team management”Match official team management now supports bulk editing selected members. Administrators can update team and role assignments for multiple members in one action, reducing repeated manual edits when preparing or reorganising official teams.
Mobile-first search and reporting refinements
Section titled “Mobile-first search and reporting refinements”Several search and reporting screens have been improved for smaller screens, including competition and profile search, match official appointments, feedback, coach appointment reports, appointment grids, match schedule reports, and the Appointments vs Availability Grid. Shared table, fixture grid, search form, and competition day picker styling has also been updated to support more consistent responsive layouts.
Backend & Integrations
Section titled “Backend & Integrations”Payment run API support
Section titled “Payment run API support”Backend support has been added for payment run search, allowing the Competition Payment portal to retrieve and display payment run records more reliably.
Appointment availability reliability
Section titled “Appointment availability reliability”A backend fix improves how appointment availability data is handled when availability mapping is missing or undefined. This helps avoid errors in match schedule and appointment views that depend on availability information.
Documentation
Section titled “Documentation”Documentation site refresh
Section titled “Documentation site refresh”The SportsM8 documentation site has received a new UI. The first wave of content restructuring has also been completed to improve navigation and make help content easier to find.
