What’s happening?

Cricket Australia has changed the way associations and competitions manage the running of community cricket.

PlayHQ is the digital platform chosen to manage all people that play, coach or umpire cricket throughout Australia.

MyCricket is still the spot for stats and seeing results. These two systems share information and the MyCricket app will still operate.

How does this impact Mackie?

Like all clubs, we must now have each member have a unique login to Play HQ. We will not be able to manually register players. This will impact all competitions. Senior Men & Women, Vets & Juniors.

The new system will also impact how we have previously managed our junior registrations. As we have teams across different competitions i.e. SECA, All Girls Cricket & ISEC – the registration will have to be made to the specific competition that the junior team will play in. We are compiling information that we will keep updated on our website to help assist with which teams play in what comp. -you can visit the Juniors section of our website for details.

First Step

The starting point is to have a Cricket ID. This is not the same as your MyCricket number. Some people may not have a Cricket ID…and that is okay.

There is a handy YouTube video with details about this – Participation Registration Overview

You may have already received some emails from Cricket Australia about this topic. If at anytime you have any queries…we will be here to help as the season gets closer!

Second Step

Once you have a login sorted to PlayHQ you will be able to register to a competition. Previously you would register to Mackie and we would sort out in the background allocating to a team and the related competition. Mackie participates in multiple competitions each season with the relevant association managing the competition. Using juniors as an example Mackie will participate in 3 different junior competitions in Season 2023-24

  • SECA Juniors
  • Inner South East Cricket – CSB Juniors
  • All Girls Cricket Competition – CSB Juniors

When you register it will be important to register to the correct competition. If you are not sure then email playcricket@mackiecc.com.au or call Ryan on 0401 513 065

New process

Change can be difficult and we are here to help. Reach out using the contact details above. Everyone is learning so we are also keen to hear if something doesn’t seem to be working or doesn’t look correct.
