SPORTYHQ: How do I connect my profile as a member of Scottish Squash?
When you set-up your SportyHQ profile, you will have had the option to select the club(s) at which you are a member. All clubs are automatically linked with your regional association, and hence the national governing body. By selecting a club in Scotland, your dashboard will automatically display events and sanctioned competitions linked to the Scottish Squash competition pathway.
SPORTYHQ: I can’t select my Scottish local authority on my SportyHQ profile. What should I do?
When setting up your SportyHQ profile, it will ask users to select their country. If the ‘Country‘ box is set to ‘United Kingdom‘, only local authorities in England will show in the ‘State/Province‘ box.
To select a Scottish local authority, search and select ‘Scotland‘ in the ‘Country‘ box. Scottish local authorities will then appear as a selection in the ‘State/Province‘ box.
SPORTYHQ: Why is my SportyHQ ranking provisional?
Players without a ranking or who are new to SportyHQ will have a provisional ranking until they have played five matches. This is so that the platform can formulate an understanding of their level before affecting other player’s rankings.
