How do I record a technical defeat when a team does not show up?
Only league Creators and Managers can do it, referees cannot. Open the match in the Match Room, tap the ”…” menu and choose Technical defeat. Pick the side that did not turn up, or mark that neither team did, choose a reason and add a comment.
You do not type the score. Playbox takes it from your league settings at the moment you record it, so changing the rules later never rewrites matches that are already counted. The default is 3:0 to the team that turned up. If neither team showed up the match is 0:0 and counts as a defeat for both, with no points for anyone.
A technical defeat counts exactly like a played match in the standings and in the league schedule. League settings control three things: whether technical defeats are allowed at all, the score they carry (up to 20), and whether those goals count towards goal difference.
The reasons are: Did not show up, Not enough players, Withdrew from the league, Rules violation, and Other. A comment is required only for “other”. You can remove a technical defeat afterwards.
Who can do it: league Creators and Managers. Referees cannot.
