ABSSA – TABLET GUIDE

Abbsa requires all match details to be filled in via a tablet application. This includes both pre and post match details including squad lists, final scores, cards, goals, assists and substitutions. The following is a guide to completing this process.

The tablet should be dealt with by the team captain, coach or delegate. The first step of updating the app should be done on the Friday before the home match. Come to Nossegem well prepared  and don’t leave things to the last minute.

Preliminary information:

  • App: abssamobile
  • Matricule: 402 (this is FC Irlande’s ABSSA registration number)
  • Password: Provided to each captain at the beginning of the season (if you don’t know yours, please contact the Club Committee)

Updating the tablet is mandatory for all home games. Failure to undertake these steps correctly risks forfeiting the match as well as incurring a fine for the Club.

Note it down, it will be required for the referee’s commands on the tablet. Pay attention, once you return to the match sheet: The application will inform you that there is already data, and asks whether you want to keep it. Respond “oui”.
