Leagues and Area AssociationsHow to register a new League or Area Association official
Whether adding from another Organisation or adding a new record on COMET.Introduction
Welcome to the League and Area Association Officials' registrations guide for the FAW COMET System.
This guide will provide you with a detailed understanding on how to register your Officials on the COMET System.
An Official is someone who performs an administrative role within your organisation e.g. Secretary, Treasurer, Chairperson, Committee member.
You are able to self-register all of your Officials on COMET and the process moves immediately from ENTERED to CONFIRMED.
For the Safeguarding Officer role, you will need to contact the FAW Safeguarding Team as this role requires minimum qualifications and a valid DBS check.
How can you register your Officials on COMET?
Your designated League or Area Association COMET Champion needs to be set up on COMET with the Administrator of Officials user role.
If your league has not already done so, please contact the COMET team at cometcomp@faw.co.uk in order to confirm who this individual will be for your Organisation.
Registering an Official on COMET for the first time
If you have not registered a person for your Organisation on COMET previously, once logged in, go onto Organisations and then Click Search Officials.
Searching for Officials if not previously registered with you on COMET
Once on the Search officials page, you will firstly need to remove your Organisation name from the Organisation box highlighted.
By leaving this box blank it is now allowing you to search the entire database.
However, you can only find people that are new to your organisation on COMET if you have one of their following details:
- Their COMET ID number
- Their Surname AND date of birth
- Their 6 digit number from the previous FAW registration system.
Once you have input one of these into any of the relevant boxes highlighted, just click Search.
Click on the Person
If you get the above screenshot saying no data found, then you can proceed to create a new record on COMET.
To do this you need to click the New official button highlighted (1).
If the person does have a record that appears in the search results box, simply click on their name to proceed to the person's registration page (2).
PLEASE NOTE: If the person has a COMET ID or you are sure they would have a record on the system, please contact the COMET team first so they can assist in checking and starting the registration process for you to register that person to your organisation.
A new record should only be created if you are sure the person is not already on COMET.
If person has a record - check the Mandatory fields
Once on the relevant person's page, you now need to check that all of the mandatory fields are still correct and up to date.
This also includes the photo of the person and their home address and email address located within the contacts tab.
If you need to update any fields, click on the Edit button, make your changes, and then click Save.
Once you are happy all of the information is up to date, click on the New Registration (Organisation) button.
If creating a new record – fill in the Mandatory fields
Once on the new official page, you now need to fill in all of the mandatory fields in red.
