Benefits of Clipboard Compete for Schools

Streamlined Fixture Management

Your Fixtures Inbox
All fixture changes from associations and opposing schools arrive in your centralised Fixtures Inbox. Admin and Manager users can review, accept and action these changes before they flow through to staff, students and guardians.

Real-Time Schedule Updates
When associations make changes to dates, times or venues, you'll see them immediately in your Fixture Inbox. Once you accept the changes, notifications are automatically sent to everyone who needs to know.

Draft, Confirmed and Unconfirmed Status
Manage your own fixture workflow with flexible status options that help you track which matches are ready to communicate to your community.

Simplified Team Nomination

Quick Team Setup
Nominate your Teams for association competitions with just a few clicks. Add staff members as Coaches or Managers, and your Teams are ready to compete.

Roster Management
Keep your Team rosters up to date throughout the season. With Clipboard Core, add or remove students as needed and ensure the right people receive notifications about each fixture.

Staff Assignment
Assign Coaches and Managers to Teams so they can mark rolls, record Results and receive relevant notifications about their fixtures.

Enhanced Communication

Automated Notifications
Once you accept fixture changes in your Fixture Inbox, staff, students and guardians automatically receive notifications about:

  • New fixtures

  • Schedule changes

  • Venue updates

  • Cancellations

  • Match results

Control Over Information Flow

Results appear immediately in your schedule and flow through to associations and opposing schools, keeping league tables and standings current.
