How to enter a Competition on COMET

 

Purchasing Competition Entry via MyComet 

To enter a League or Cup Competition on COMET, you need to purchase the Competition entry via the finance section of COMET, called MyComet.

You can enter a competition via MyComet in two ways;

Firstly, once you are logged into COMET, click on your name in the top, right of the screen and then click the MyComet button from the drop down in order to go onto the payment section of the site and find and select the relevant competition entry to purchase.

Alternatively, the FAW will be creating an online link for every league and cup competition on COMET.

Once you click on this link it will take you to the COMET log-in page, and once logged in using your COMET log-in details, it will take you straight to that Competition’s entry page on MyComet where you can then purchase the entry.

Click on the Products button on MyComet if going in from the main COMET Homepage

Once on the MyComet page, click on the Products button to view a full list of all competition entries and affiliation fees you can purchase.

When accessing MyComet, as with the main COMET page, Google Chrome is the best and most compatible web browser so we would recommend using Google Chrome as your browser.

Searching for the relevant competition

Once on the products page, you now need to find the competition you are looking to purchase entry for.

You firstly need to select the relevant organisation that the competition is a part of.

This will either be your league, an Area Association for Area Cup Competitions, or the FAW for National competitions and the relevant leagues run by the FAW.

You can change this selection by pressing the cross next to the organisations name once selected.

Once you have selected the relevant Competition Organiser, if there are a lot of products on offer, you can filter the search even further in order to easily find the competition entry you need to purchase.

To do this, simply start typing the competition name in the section highlighted beneath the Competition Organiser.

In this example, by typing the word ‘user’ the system removed all other FAW products making it easy to select the user guide example product we are purchasing.

Proceed to the Competition purchase page

Once you have found the relevant competition, click on the arrow or shopping cart icons to proceed to that competition's purchase page.

Select the team from your club to Enter into the competition

You now need to select the relevant team from within your club to enter into the competition and tick any requirements to confirm that the club is agreeing to the competitions rules when entering.

If you need to add a team to your club records, please see the adding teams user guide and go to your My Club section on the main COMET page to add any teams that may be missing.

Once you have selected the relevant team and ticked the relevant boxes, click the Add to Cart button on the right-hand side of the screen.

If you clicked on the web link the FAW have created for the Competition, you would start on this page when you log-in to COMET after clicking the link.

Proceed to cart summary

Once you have added the Entry fee to your cart, you will notice in the top right hand corner of your screen, the shopping cart icon will now have a number in it to show you have successfully added the entry fee.

At this point you can return to your My Comet dashboard to add any further products to your shopping cart, such as player membership fees, affiliation fees or other competition entry fees.

If ready to purchase and enter the competition, click on the Cart Summary button to proceed.

Check the Terms and Conditions and proceed to PayPal

Once you have clicked Cart Summary, you now need to review your purchase and tick to agree you have read the terms and conditions of the transaction.

Once you have read and ticked the box to confirm, a yellow PayPal button will appear.

Click on this button to proceed to PayPal to complete your payment.

Login to your PayPal account

At this point the system will take you to your PayPal login page to complete the payment.

Input your PayPal log-in details and click the Log In button.

You now just need to follow the usual PayPal check out process.

Complete the payment

Once logged into PayPal, you will be on the payment summary page.

You can still review your purchase in the top right hand corner and the summary page will then contain billing addresses and payment methods you may use to make payments via this account.

If you need to cancel the payment at this stage, you can click on the Cancel and return to FAW button highlighted.

If ready to pay though, just click on Pay Now.

Payment Complete

PayPal will process the payment and once successful, the system will take you back to your MyComet homepage.

You will get the above message on your screen confirming the payment has been made whilst the system sends you back to MyComet.

You must not close or refresh your browser when the above message is showing. You should only do so once you have been returned back to MyComet.

Otherwise there is a risk you could be charged multiple times or there is a chance the transaction will not record on COMET but you could still be charged.

Accessing the invoice on MyComet

Once back on the MyCOMET homepage, you will see a record of this payment in the My Items section.

You will also be able to access a copy of the payment invoice in the Payments section underneath the items section.

Confirmation via email

You will also have received a confirmation email as soon as the payment went through, listing any products purchased, along with a copy of the invoice attached to the email as proof of payment.

Once payment has gone through the team will immediately be entered into the competition and you have done everything you need to in order to enter a team into a competition and paying for the entry fee via COMET.
