SMS results text service

Reporting the score, or the fact that the match was postponed, is mandatory for all age groups.

I have updated the SMS contact list. I can assign up to two persons per team and the names and phone numbers are only available based on information entered via Whole Game when your team was affiliated. Please let me know if you want me to change or remove people from your team's SMS list (ccjflsecretary@gmail.com).
Three guides are downloadable from Full-Time News (scroll right to find them) and Guide 1 gives more detail on the SMS text service. Don't forget to add your match stats separately (u12-18 especially).
A convenient way to report the score is to register for the Full-Time SMS (text) service. The system sends you a text shortly after your scheduled kick off time and at the end of the game you reply with your score and Full-Time automatically records it and updates the league table. Both the home and away managers should send in their result and if there’s a conflict we get an error log to look at.

If your mobile number is registered on the system against one team only, all it wants is the score in the format H-A (ie home team score-away team score), example text “FA Full-Time Results: SP74 v J10, Sat 15 Dec 10:30. Reply home and away scores in format: H-A e.g. 3-2“
• So 4-0 would be an acceptable response.
• If you were the away team you would also enter 4-0 (the home team score first).
If your mobile number is registered against more than one team the system asks you to state the team code of the team you are responding on behalf of after the score, example text “FA Full-Time Results: 800 v 550, Sat 15 Dec 10:30. Reply home and away scores in format: H-A 550 e.g. 3-2 550”
• In this case the correct response would be 4-0 550.
• If you report results for more than one team please be careful that you report the correct result by replying to the relevant text.

If the match is postponed both managers should reply P-P or (if requested) P-P team code.
