Gameplan for a Successful Season
Use this guide and checklist to stay organized and make sure you’ve done everything you need to make this season go as smoothly as possible.
Pre-Season Administration

- Provide GameSheet with a principal contact to be the first line of support for League related enquiries, e.g. “What’s my league’s Scoring Access Key?”.
- Provide GameSheet with your Season’s start date.
- Provide GameSheet with the names and emails for all League Officials (Directors, Convenors, Referee-in-Chiefs etc) and their desired level of access.
- Confirm that your Dashboard account has been updated to include your new Season or, if you’re a new user, that you have received an invitation email to access the Dashboard.

Pro Tips
