Immediate danger
Use available emergency channels. In New Zealand call 111 for an emergency. Pitchfold South does not make calls, detect incidents or transmit information.
Safety gate
Know when the fieldbook stops.
The app offers conservative prompts for adults. It cannot inspect a field, assess a person, read the weather, authorise play or replace local procedures.
A firm boundary
Adapt only inside a safe, authorised activity.
Convenience never outranks supervision, equipment requirements, venue rules, safeguarding practice, emergency planning or professional advice. If the situation is unclear, pause and use the correct local channel.
Surface unresolved
Stop when holes, debris, pooling, uncontrolled slipping or another unresolved surface hazard remains.
Goal or equipment unstable
Do not continue around an unsecured portable goal, damaged equipment or a setup that cannot be made stable through authorised procedure.
Weather or visibility unsafe
Pause for lightning, severe weather, unsafe heat or cold exposure, glare, fog or inadequate visibility. The app does not provide a forecast.
Vehicle or boundary control lost
Stop when vehicle access, spectators, animals or another boundary condition cannot be controlled for the activity.
Person needs qualified help
Do not use the app to diagnose, assess concussion, authorise rehabilitation or decide return to play. Use qualified care and applicable procedures.
Not medical advice
No diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, concussion assessment, injury screening or return-to-play decision.
Not official instruction
No certification, refereeing ruling, legal advice, safeguarding case management or venue authorisation.
No automatic detection
No weather, lightning, surface, goal-stability, injury, location or emergency sensor.
Adult responsibility remains
Consent, supervision, participant suitability and age-appropriate delivery stay with the responsible adults and authorised organisations.
