ID Cards / Sheets

All teams must have an ID card or team sheet for all players that includes their photo, DOB and FFA ID. They are often checked at State Cup, particularly in the later rounds.
Players for any Team that are not included on the digital match sheet or identification cards/sheets are not permitted to take the field.
Team Managers are responsible for sighting Player identification prior to the Match. Check the regulations section 3. Pre-Match Player Identification for what to do if you suspect a team of playing an illegible player.

If not, you will need to go into the matchsheet, click into the player, long press to activate the action options which includes, “Set Jersey number”. These have to be done individually in the Dribl App and can take some time, so make sure they are added before the day.
