The Teams screen lists the teams taking part in the tournament. It is the first thing you fill in during setup: the draw and the fixtures are built from this list.
Adding a team
Choose "+ Add Team" to open the form. The team name is required; the 2-5 character short name is optional and is used where space is tight. If another team already uses the same short name, the team is still saved; you see a warning on screen and can change the short name if you wish.
The team list
- Each card shows the team name, its status and its group when there is one.
- The search box filters by team name and short name.
- Opening a card takes you to that team detail page.
What is on the team detail page?
The team detail page holds the team information, its squad and team specific settings. Adding players and managing the squad happens there.
Removing a team and taking a player off the squad
- To remove a team, use the “Remove team” card in Team Settings on the team detail page. The window that opens shows the team name and what will happen; write a short reason and choose “Remove Team” to move the team to the Team Trash. You do not have to type the team name again or enter your password.
- A removed team keeps its squad and details. While it is in the Team Trash its details, logo and squad cannot be changed and no players can be added; the team page is read-only. Before the draw and fixtures exist you can restore it from the Team Trash on the Teams screen; a restored team can be edited again. A team that already has a draw or a match cannot be removed; set its status to “Withdrawn” or “Disqualified” instead.
- To take a player off the squad, choose “Remove from Squad” in the menu on the player page. The window shows the player name; write a reason and confirm to take the player off the squad. Past matches, goals, cards and penalties are not deleted; while the squad is open to changes the player can be put back on the squad from the same page.
The team list is not always editable: adding teams closes once the draw is official or matches exist. Player rosters follow a separate rule — by default they stay open until the tournament’s first official match starts, and “Roster locking” in Team Settings, opened from the settings (gear) icon on the Teams screen, lets you keep them open or close them right away. The screen tells you why something is locked.
