ONE WEEK LEFT TO GET REGISTERED FOR ROUND 1
Players/Coaches/Team Managers are now able to Register to play/participate at Melville Premier Cricket Club for the 23/24 season.

You can navigate directly to the Melville Cricket Club PlayHQ website https://www.playhq.com/cricket-australia/org/melville-cricket-club/394b1d7c/register

Alternatively, select the “PlayHQ Registration for Season 23/24” icon on the MCC Team App home page.
NB you must be logged into Team App to see the icon (see attached picture).

BACKGROUND
As you may be aware Cricket Australia have decided to move Competition support platforms from MyCricket to PlayHQ.
The new PlayHQ platform allows for greater digital products and services which ultimately should enhance the experience for the participant and volunteer users.
PlayHQ is currently used by a majority of Basketball and AFL competitions across Australia; so, if a player/Coach/Team Manager is a participant in any of these activities, they may already have a PlayHQ profile – which will streamline their PlayHQ Cricket registration.

REGISTERING
The Player/Coach/Team Manager will have to Register for all Competitions that they intend to play/participate in.
i.e. Senior Male Grades 1 to 4 is one competition and Premier T20 & Colts is another Competition; as is Senior Female A & B Grades one competition. Any Juniors or Youth that are eligible (age permitted) that may want to play seniors will need to register in PlayHQ for both Junior/Youth and Senior Competitions.

Mandatory Online Registration is required every season:
· All participant registrations (Junior, Senior etc.) are performed online and are mandatory
· There is no ability for Administrators (i.e. Registrars) to manually register anyone (this is due to privacy and consent processes).
· Transfer & Permits will be initiated by Admins or by the participant themselves when they register.

NB: PlayHQ registration will enable a Player to participate in the Cricket Season; the Player will still have to pay their Seasonal Club fees and match day fees – via the Melville Cricket Club Online Merchandise & Membership Store. https://melvillecricketclub.square.site/

PLAYHQ FEE
The PlayHQ registration process for Players will include a mandatory National Registration Fee (NRF).
Coaches/Officials must still register on PlayHQ. However, there is no fee applicable.

The National Registration Fee is:
Junior Player – $16.00
Senior Player – $22.50.
This fee includes an Insurance component and a Digital Services contribution (which covers PlayHQ services and will also enable CA ongoing investment in digital technologies).
The NRF is only payable ONCE.

LINKING PROFILES
During the PlayHQ registration Process the Player has the ability to link their Cricket ID (MyCricket) to the PlayHQ Profile
This will merge your MyCricket and PlayHQ profiles to ensure all you past playing history and statistics are retained and kept together in one place.
The Cricket ID is the email address that you have used to log into the MyCricket App or coaching portal.
Linking Profiles is optional and is not required to complete the PlayHQ registration.
