Team Grading Guide

To register as a team, we need to nominate the team in a grade.

As a general guide, the strongest player level and the higher levels are usually the older players in school year 2. (EG, grade A and B for U12 boys are those in school year 6; grade C and D would be teams where players are in school year 5).

If you have a strong bottom age team place them in a level higher and likewise lower with a particularly less skilled top age team.

If teams have had a change in players, consider the experience of the incoming players and the experience of those who have left, decide whether or not the strength of the team has been affected and adjust accordingly.

The number of WABL players included in a team will also affect their grade. If you have multiple WABL players, you should be nominating in a higher grade.

The way Hawks will set up team’s grades/divisions is outlined below.

M and F is used to define the gender of the grade/division while A, B, C, D is used for the define the skill/level of the grade/division.

U8M / U8F
MBM / MBF
U10M / U10F
U12M / U12F
U14M / U14F
U16M / U16F
U18M / U18F

In the likely event that a grade/division has too many teams, Hawks will create multiple pools for that grade/division after team nominations have closed. This is indicated by a number following the grade/division. An example of this would be if U12M B had 18 teams, which would turn into U12M B1 and U12M B2, both with 9 teams. Both these grades/divisions are in B grade and have no skill difference.

Entering Jersey Number Into Play HQ

Once you have your team bag, your next task is to assign players their jersey’s and note the player jersey number. These jersey numbers then need to be entered into Play HQ before your grading game. It is best to do this the day before the games as it’s time consuming and there isn’t much time to input this information before the game.

This can only be done if:

You have registered on Play HQ as the Team Manager* (or Coach); AND
You have been granted access to your team on Play HQ by the club*; AND
Your team has games fixtured.
*You can check if you are registered by logging into your Play HQ account. Click “My Teams” “[Team Number]” and then “Squad”. If “Squad” doesn’t appear on the menu bar, then you either aren’t registered or don’t yet have access, in that case please contact us.

To add jersey numbers:

Log into the Play HQ Participant Portal.
Click on “My Teams”.
Select the sport and team, eg “Subiaco U12 boys SU262”
Select a game (make sure you select Round 1 game – may not be in order) by clicking on the “>” on the right of the tab.
Select the yellow “Manage” below the team box.
Scroll down to the blue “Select Team” and click on “+ Select Team”.
Select all players, they will then move up to the “Line-Up” above (to add players to the line-up, click the “+” button next to the player you wish to add).
Once players are added to the game, you can enter the jersey numbers for each player in the box beside the player.
Click “Next” and then “Save”

Add ALL your players to the first game and add their player jersey number in Play HQ as the info will be saved for future games. If someone is not playing, then just remove them from the line-up at the game.
