Player pool
Everyone who showed up, ready to place.
The player pool is the live roster of who has checked in but isn't on a team yet. It's the bridge between the door and the pitch — and it makes handling late-comers effortless.
Live roster
See everyone checked in and not yet placed.
New teams from the pool
Spin the pool into N fresh teams instantly.
Multi-select add
Check several players and drop them into a team at once.
Auto-shuffle late-comers
Fold arrivals into existing teams evenly.
The live waiting list
As players scan in, they land in the pool. It's always current, so you know exactly who's available to place without counting heads.
- Updates as players arrive
- Clear count of available players
- Sent-off players excluded automatically
Three ways to place late-comers
Latecomers never mean starting over. Spin the pool into a number of brand-new teams, add players individually with a multi-select checkbox flow, or auto-shuffle them evenly into the teams already on the pitch.
- Create N new teams from the pool
- Multi-select add into an existing team
- Auto-shuffle into existing teams evenly
Keeps teams even, all game long
Whichever way you place them, the pool keeps team sizes balanced so a wave of late arrivals doesn't lopside the game. Place, play, repeat.
- Balance-aware placement
- Works mid-game
- Pairs with team setup
