Prompt to Permit or Transfer when registering, what do I do? (Participant)

Overview

This article provides guidance for participants on the appropriate use of permits and transfers when prompted by PlayHQ to initiate a "request to play."

The below chart shows this process: 

When to use a Permit

Participants should use a permit request when initiating a request to play under the following circumstances:

• They intend to participate for multiple clubs and competitions during the same season at once without changing their primary club.
• When registering to Winter Competitions while having played in the summer season and are returning to play in the following summer season. (Note your winter association would need to have contact CA Support to have this enabled)
• Note: This option is available only if competitions have enabled player-led permits. Refer to the FAQs below for further details.

When to use a Transfer

 Participants should use a transfer request when initiating a request to play where:

• They are registering to a new season and a different club than the previous season. 
• Players who wish to participate in a summer season while already registered for the winter season will need to initiate a transfer. This transfer request will enable them to join the upcoming summer season without forfeiting their existing winter season registration.
• Note: This option appears only if competitions have enabled player-led transfers. For more information, please consult the FAQs below.
