Football Tournament Day Checklist

Use this checklist to turn a completed fixture plan into a controlled event-day operation.

  • Pitch signs and equipment
  • First aid and safeguarding contacts
  • Referee briefing

During the event

Keep one live record of arrivals, scores, standings and changes. Publish important messages from the same source.

  • Chase missing arrivals
  • Lock submitted referee scores
  • Resolve discrepancies
  • Approve tables
  • Release knockout fixtures

After the final

Confirm winners, publish final statistics and retain an event record for the organiser.

  • Winners and awards
  • Teams, games and goals totals
  • Incident notes
  • Feedback request
  • Copy setup for the next event
