A layout for each sport

Hockey gets a rink with forward lines, defense pairs and a goalie. Soccer gets a pitch, basketball a court, baseball and softball a diamond, football a field, volleyball a court in six or four-player format, and lacrosse a field. Field hockey, ultimate, rugby, kickball and flag football each get their own layout, pickleball and tennis use doubles pairs, and cricket uses a batting order and fielding XI. Any other sport uses a simple numbered list.

One lineup per game

Each game has its own Lines tab on its detail page, so a lineup for Tuesday does not overwrite Saturday. Practices do not show the tab.

Draft, then publish

Coaches, managers and captains can work on a draft that only staff can see. When you publish, the whole team can read it. Every slot is optional, so a half-finished lineup is fine.

Save and share to chat

Save and share publishes the lineup and posts it into team chat as a card with the same details as plain text, so players see it without opening anything else.

Built on your roster

Players come from your roster with their positions and numbers, so you are placing real people, not typing names. On the web, click a position and then a player in the roster on the right. On a phone, tap a position to open the roster. Place someone who is already in the lineup and they move to the new spot.
