Guidelines

How signups work.

When to sign up

First-come, first-served
Once capacity fills, new signups go on an automatic waitlist, in order
First time signing up: fill out a short profile (name, gender, positions) which is saved for future weeks. Update it any time from the homepage
If you are waitlisted, the homepage shows where you are in line
You can see who else is playing once you're signed up for that week
Confirmed players get an email once the roster locks, with the teams and what they owe, and can add the game to their calendar

Guests say who invited them when they sign up
They are also asked whether they are willing to share that member's spot. If not, a guest simply gets their own spot, in signup order like anyone else
Sharing is never automatic. See below for how it works

Two people, one spot. You take turns, so only one of you plays at a time
You count as one on the roster, get promoted off the waitlist together, and each pay half
It only ever happens by asking, and nothing is shared unless the other person accepts
Two ways to ask: a guest names the member who invited them when they sign up, or anyone waitlisted asks a player directly from the homepage
A guest's request only reaches the member if that member also signs up that week and isn't already sharing with someone else
Naming someone never takes their spot or changes what they owe. Declining changes nothing either
Please reach out to them outside the app first, as a courtesy
One outstanding request at a time. Cancel it to ask someone else instead

Cancel any time, right up to game day, from the homepage
Before the roster locks: the next person (or pair) on the waitlist is automatically confirmed and emailed. Nothing is owed yet at this point, so there's no money to sort out
After the roster locks: no automatic replacement, so please tell the organizer. Cancelling this late doesn't clear what you owe, so send it anyway

A fixed price per spot, shown before you sign up. It doesn't change with headcount
If you are sharing a spot with someone, you each pay half
Payment opens when the roster locks, usually 5 hours before the game. The homepage shows the exact time. Pay any time between then and the start of the game. Please be prompt with your e-transfer
Nothing to pay before that. Cancel earlier and someone from the waitlist simply takes your spot, with no money involved either way
Once the roster locks, cancelling doesn't remove what you owe. Please e-transfer the organizer for your locked spot
Payment happens outside the app. The organizer tracks who's paid

Teams are drawn up after the roster locks
They show up on the homepage once the organizer posts them
Teams are balanced on positions first, then size, then the mix of players
Two people sharing a spot are always on the same team
Teams are a suggestion so nobody spends game time picking sides, and you can change them at the field
If you are down to 8 players, play without a rover
The regular season rule about 3 girls on the field does not apply, but everyone should get equal playing time
Two people sharing a spot take turns, so only one of them plays at a time
If someone cancels after teams are posted, that team plays a person short

Some weeks there are not enough people for a game
When that happens the organizer may ask everyone confirmed whether they would come out for BP/Practice instead. You answer yes or no on the homepage
You can change your answer while the question is still open
The answers do not decide it. The organizer reads them and says what is happening
If you know someone who wants to play, tell the organizer and they can add them. A few more people may be enough for a game
On a BP/Practice week there are no teams, and the notes above about rovers and playing time do not apply

Use the Report a bug or send feedback link at the bottom of any page
It's logged for the organizer, along with your email and the page you were on, and they get a notification that it arrived
Suggestions are just as welcome as bug reports
