How to Set Up Digital Player Voting for Your Club in Under 10 Minutes
Updated February 2026 | 6 min read
If you've been putting off going digital with your club's player voting, this guide will show you just how easy it is. We'll walk through the full setup using GameVote — from creating your account to sending your first vote — in under 10 minutes.
Step 1 Create Your Account
Head to gamevote.com.au and sign up. There's no credit card required — you get a full 14-day free trial with 10 free SMS credits included.
The quick profile setup asks for:
- Your club name
- Sport type
- Contact details
That's it — you're in the system and ready to start configuring.
Step 2 Add Your Teams and Players
Once you're logged in, create teams within your club. You can set up as many teams as you need — junior, senior, mixed, or by division.
For each team, add your players. You have two options:
- Manual entry — type in player names one by one
- Bulk upload — import a list from a spreadsheet
Then assign coaches and managers to each team so they can issue and manage votes throughout the season.
Step 3 Configure Your Voting Templates
This is where you define how voting works for your club. GameVote gives you full control:
- Point system — choose 3-2-1, 5-4-3-2-1, or create your own
- Who can vote — coaches, parents, players, or any combination
- Comments — enable optional feedback on each vote
- Vote limits and deadlines — set when voting opens and closes
You can create different templates for different purposes — one for week-to-week best-on-ground voting and another for end-of-season awards, for example.
Step 4 Send Your First Vote
Choose how you want to collect votes. GameVote offers three channels:
In-App
Coaches vote directly through the mobile or web app.
SMS
Send voting links via text message — voters click and vote in their browser.
QR Code
Print or display a QR code — voters scan and vote from the sideline.
Once votes are issued, you can monitor completion in real time. You'll see who has voted and who hasn't, so you can send reminders to anyone who's fallen behind.
Step 5 View Results and Reports
Votes are tallied automatically as they come in. At any point during the season, you can:
- View the instant leaderboard showing current standings
- Export reports as PDF for record-keeping
- Generate professional PowerPoint slides for your awards night
- Review the full audit trail for transparency
