Player Offer Composer No Longer Falsely Blocks Sends
Coaches were sometimes told a player's profile was missing required information — like a postal address — even when it had just been saved successfully. Refreshing the page cleared the error, which meant the block was never real. This false roadblock has been removed.
- The offer readiness check (which confirms a recruit's details are complete before sending a contract or offer) now always reflects the latest saved information, so coaches are no longer stopped by an error that disappears on page refresh.
- The fix ensures the readiness check re-validates against the server every time the offer composer is opened, while still loading instantly — so there's no slowdown, just accurate results.

U20 Players Now Correctly Badged as U20 Across All Squad Views
A 20-year-old player was showing as 'U23' on the squad page but 'U20' on the First Team roster table — two different labels for the same player in the same season. Both views now use the same rules and will display the correct badge consistently.
- Players who qualify as U20 (rather than just U23) are now correctly labelled as U20 on squad pages, fixing a mismatch that was causing confusion for coaches and administrators tracking youth quotas.
- Because the U23 quota has a U20 sub-minimum, the distinction matters for compliance — coaches can now rely on the badge shown to accurately reflect which quota category a player counts toward.

Yellow Card Warnings and Bans Now Reflect the Correct Season
Card tallies and suspension warnings on squad pages were previously pulling data from the wrong year, causing coaches to see outdated yellow card counts or missed ban alerts. This is now fixed to correctly reflect the season each squad is playing in.
- Yellow card counts now reset correctly between seasons, so players in a new-season squad no longer show carry-over yellows from the previous year — matching FNSW competition regulations.
- Unserved suspensions do carry over between seasons as required by FNSW rules, meaning coaches will still see an active ban warning for a player who didn't serve their suspension before the season ended.
- Coaches viewing squads in future or past seasons will now see card tallies and ban warnings that are accurate for that specific season, not the current calendar year.

Simplified Access for Technical Directors Who Also Coach
Technical directors who coach one of their own programme's squads no longer receive a redundant second login experience. Everything they need — lineups, match day management, squad events — is already available through their programme admin access.
- Technical directors who are also listed as a head coach for a squad in their programme will no longer see a duplicate coach portal alongside their admin access — everything is consolidated into one place.
- Squad assignments for technical directors still work exactly as before: they remain the official coach of record for lineups, event reminders, parent-facing profiles, and competition qualification purposes.

Compliance Reports Now Show Clear, Accurate Breach Explanations
Two fixes to the compliance reporting system ensure that breach messages are accurate and consistent, and that the correct roster is always being checked against the correct competition rules.
- Compliance breach messages now clearly explain exactly which part of a quota rule was missed — for example, if a competition requires '5 U23 players including 2 U20', the report will now spell out separately that the U20 minimum was not met, rather than showing numbers that could appear to be satisfied at a glance.
- When viewing a compliance report for the Australian Championship roster, the full report now correctly checks that roster against Australian Championship rules — previously, clicking through from a breach banner could silently load a different competition's report (such as the NPL), showing a completely different set of results with no indication that a different roster was being evaluated.

Role-Based Event Visibility Now Applied Consistently to All Staff
The rules that control which staff members can see role-restricted calendar events now apply equally to everyone, including administrators, closing a gap where admins previously saw events that were intended only for specific roles.
- Administrators now follow the same role-targeting rules as all other staff for calendar events, meaning a committee-only event is correctly shown only to committee members — even if the viewer is an admin.
- This ensures that role-restricted events behave predictably and as intended for every person on the platform, regardless of their permission level.

Season Calendar Toggle Now Works More Predictably
The toggle that shows or hides season rows on the calendar has been simplified so it behaves consistently for all staff, including team directors who only manage specific programmes.
- The Season Calendar toggle is now the single control for showing or hiding season rows — previously, other filters could interfere and unexpectedly hide season landmarks for some staff members.
- Team directors scoped to a specific programme will now always see season landmarks from all programmes, ensuring they never miss club-wide season milestones while still having their programme-focused view.

Calendar Events Now Show Who Can See Them
The admin calendar now clearly indicates when an event is restricted to specific staff roles, so administrators can quickly see at a glance which events are visible to everyone and which are limited to certain people.
- Admin calendar rows now display a small audience marker (such as 'Visible to Committee' or 'Visible to 3 staff roles') next to any event that is restricted to specific staff roles — events with no restriction show no marker, keeping the view clean.
- When opening the detail panel for a role-restricted event, the same audience label appears consistently, so there is no confusion between the list view and the event detail.
- Season landmark events (such as season start and end dates) are now always visible club-wide regardless of programme or role, ensuring no one misses important season milestones.

Event RSVP, Roster Accuracy, and Display Fixes
A handful of issues affecting match day RSVPs, player roster listings, and screen layouts have been resolved to make everyday club management more reliable.
- On the parent portal, ticking your name (or a child's name) in an event attendance picker now automatically sets the answer to 'Going', so families no longer get stuck with a greyed-out confirm button after selecting attendees.
- The 'Copy last season' option when setting up a new season now only appears for programmes that actually ran a previous season, preventing confusion when no history exists to copy.
- The retention planning screen for programmes that haven't yet completed a season no longer shows a pipeline or 'Open window' button that would incorrectly notify coaches about rounds with no players.
- A player signed to a roster is now only shown on rosters whose season is actually covered by their contract term, preventing players from appearing on squad lists for seasons their deal doesn't include.
- A player's position group is now correctly reflected on all roster rows they appear on, ensuring coaches see accurate position information across the board.
- The AC standings line now displays in full on desktop screens and switches to a shorter, position-first format on mobile for a cleaner layout.
- The planner header layout has been tidied so the AC standings line sits below the scenario picker, keeping the header a consistent height.

Player Positions Can Now Be Edited on Rosters
Coaches and administrators can now correct a player's position group directly from their roster profile, fixing a long-standing gap where a player signed under the wrong position was stuck there permanently.
- A player's position on the roster (e.g. Forwards, Defenders, Midfielders) can now be changed from their profile drill-down, so errors made at signing time no longer require admin intervention to fix.

New Blank Slates Guide Users Before Seasons Begin
Several areas of Clubhouse now show helpful guidance screens when content isn't set up yet, so coaches and administrators always know what to do next rather than seeing an empty page.
- The Training section now shows a clear prompt to set up a training schedule when none exists, so coaches aren't left with a blank screen at the start of a season.
- Player development programmes that haven't started yet now display a pre-start summary card on the To Do tab, showing curriculum readiness, first-season squads, and what to expect when the programme kicks off.
- The player development area now shows an explicit 'Curriculum in preparation' message when content is being built, rather than a confusing blank page.
- The Training Library is temporarily replaced with a friendly 'coming soon' screen while it's being rebuilt — existing training sessions and session plans are unaffected.
- The retention planning screen for programmes that haven't started yet now correctly explains that squad-building happens in the Squads and Recruitment sections, with direct links to both so administrators can get started immediately.
- When starting a new season with nothing to copy from a previous one, the option to build from scratch is now more prominently displayed so the path forward is obvious.

Calendar Events No Longer Appear for the Wrong Club
A bug was causing some events from other clubs to appear on parent and player calendars. This has been fixed so families only ever see events that belong to their own club.
- Parents and players will no longer see events — such as meetings or dates — that belong to a completely different club appearing on their calendar.
- Key dates are now strictly filtered to your club, so nothing from other organisations can bleed through onto your family's schedule.

False 'Missing Contact Details' Warnings Now Corrected
Coaches and administrators were sometimes seeing alerts saying a player had no mobile number on file, even when the number was already saved on the player's account. This no longer happens.
- The 'Needs attention' strip no longer incorrectly warns that a senior player is missing a mobile number when that number is already saved against their account — the system now correctly finds and uses the contact details they registered with.
- Senior players who self-registered will no longer be prompted to re-enter contact information they've already provided, and attempting to do so will no longer result in a confusing error message.

Duplicate Player Records and Roster Errors Resolved
A bug that caused some players to appear twice on rosters — with their details counted twice — has been fixed. Affected clubs will now see accurate player listings and correct information across their squads.
- Players who were accidentally registered twice on a roster will no longer appear as duplicates, ensuring squad lists, wages, and records reflect the correct single entry.
- Behind the scenes, safeguards have been added so this type of duplicate registration is refused at the point of creation rather than slipping through and causing problems later.

Clearer Error When a Mobile Number Already Exists
Coaches and administrators no longer see a confusing technical error message when trying to save a mobile number that's already linked to another profile. The error is now explained in plain language so the issue is easy to understand and fix.
- When saving a player's contact details, if the mobile number entered is already registered to another person in the system, a clear and friendly message now appears explaining the conflict — instead of a raw database error that was previously shown on screen.
- Mobile numbers are now automatically formatted to a standard format before saving, preventing accidental duplicates caused by the same number being entered in slightly different ways (e.g. with or without a country code).
- Editing a player's email address or other contact details (without changing the mobile number) continues to save correctly, even if the existing mobile number on file is in an older format.
