Introduction to Competition Management: GAA and LGFA

Competition Management

The Competition Management system allows County, Provincial and CLG to easily create and manage competitions. This is the GAA’s central repository of fixture information and will be used to provide instant web feeds for all Clubs, County and Provincial Boards. Features of this system include:

• Auto Generate Fixtures
• SMS Availability Requests and Score Requests
• Website Integration 

NOTE:

• The GAA will not have access to edit any competitions/fixtures belonging to the LGFA, they will have a READ ONLY view.
• The LGFA will not have access to edit any competitions/fixtures belonging to the GAA, they will have a READ ONLY view.
• Each organisation will be able to generate Competition Reports for both GAA and LGFA.

 Pre Season

Before the start of any season, a number of pre-requisites must be met to ensure the smooth administration of competition. The following is a checklist to assist you in preparing for the season ahead.

Item	Description	Y/N
Clubs	Are all the clubs in your county on the system including Amalgamated teams, schools teams and Interfirms? (Your County Administrator can request the addition of new clubs via the GAA system).
Venues	Do all clubs have an associated venue for the purposes of assigning home/away/neutral venues?
Officials	Are all officials registered for the year? Have they been approved as Match Officials by the county board?
