FAQ’S Frequently asked questions

Questions about the Livescouting duties: Question: There are many soccer teams in my region, from top league teams down to amateur League, which teams should I mention in the personal record form? Answer: Only top teams and their U21, U19 and U17 teams. Please contact us regarding semi professional and amateur teams. Coverage depth can vary each country. Question: I have seen that there is a discount on my fee if I make some mistake, is it because the information goes to some betting provider? Answer: We do indeed have discounts on possible mistakes. As far as we are providing live results for Medias or Betting providers, we can’t allow any mistakes. Question: How will I handle the Livescouting duty? Would I have to use a PDA or a regular mobile phone? Answer: You can use a standard mobile phone; we do not recommend using PDA or any software for Livescouting duties. Question: If I am interested by a supervisor position for a certain region, will I have to provide (with my scouts) full coverage of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd soccer leagues? Or just try to cover as much games as possible? Answer: As a supervisor you will help us recruiting and organizing a scout network in certain regions to be able to cover as much games as possible. Please keep in mind that we will never guarantee an exclusive coverage, we always need two sources for each match.

Question: The payment procedure for Supervisor is not clear to me. How does it work? Answer: You still have regular scout duty with regular scout fee. Supervisor gets 5,00 € for each match successfully covered by a scout from his network. Question: I received (or) sent a match but it’s over 100kms from where I live, would it ok to provide coverage? Answer: It is not worth for us that a scout travel over 100kms to cover one game or two. Please clarify this before you travel to the far venue with Livescouting@sportsdata.ag.
