Released the automated Football Account generation flow for coach and referee registrations that require access to Football Australia’s Learning Management platform Added a label under the contact email field in the Registration on Behalf flow to highlight that the email must belong to the participant so they can access the Learning Centre. Front‑end label only — no validation is done to check whether the guardian and participant share the same email.
Updated the confirmation screen with instructions outlining what happens next for coach and referee registrations Introduced automated emails (based on the participant’s email) with instructions — either “no action required” or “action required,” depending on their situation Participant’s email does not have a Football Account → The system will automatically create an account and send an Action Required email with steps to complete the account setup. Participant’s email already has a Football Account linked to the same participant record as the coach/referee registration → A No Action Required email is sent. Participant has a Football Account but no participant record linked → The system will automatically link the participant record and send a No Action Required email. Participant’s email is already linked to a different participant record → An Action Required email is sent with instructions to unlink the incorrect record and link it to the correct participant. Added the ability for participants to unlink a participant record from their account.
The PlayFootball system will be undergoing scheduled system maintenance during the above window. As a result, PlayFootball will be unavailable and not accessible for the duration of the maintenance. Release Notes will follow.

Updated the Financial report to prevent duplicate rows when multiple transactions exist for the same registration
Added a daily event to refresh the multi‑use voucher “used” counter
This will only apply to multi‑use vouchers that start on or after 01/12/2025. The refresh is based on transactions that successfully record the voucher being used. Any voucher use that occurs during a rehydration (where transaction details are not fully captured) will not be included in this count.
Added an “Engagement Type” column to the Lapsed Registrations tab to display whether participant was registered as a professional or amateur status.
Fixed a bug where failed disbursements were no longer updating the transaction status to “Failed”

Reordered the steps in the registration flow so the Verify Identity step comes before Additional Questions
Fixed a bug where Admins were unable to delete additional questions when toggling ‘No’ for “Would you like to add your organisation’s own additional questions for your participants?”
Fixed a bug where the capacity limit was not incrementing after a participant registered and paid. There may be a few seconds’ delay before the capacity updates. The capacity not incrementing for products with no fee is still an outstanding issue

Updated the fields displayed in the error summary box to match the error labels
There are still some minor issues with the error messages and labels. In some cases, the text shown isn’t very user‑friendly, the label may not match the field it refers to, or a field with an error may not be highlighted correctly. These small inconsistencies will be fixed in a future update.

Fixed a bug where no error appeared when a photo was not uploaded during the Verify Identity step
Fixed a bug where mandatory selection fields were not highlighted in red when left incomplete
