What does a captain do?

Captain is a job you hand out, and it names the sides you run. This is one fixture, with your part of it marked.

1. Weeks out
   You Ask who can play. Every date for the next month in one ask, with the answers as a grid of people against dates. Or one fixture at a time. There is no squad list to keep.
2. Weeks out
   Players Yes, no or maybe.
3. In the week
   You Pick the side. Fill with the strongest yeses. Anybody in the club can be picked, asked or not.
4. In the week
   You Hold the courts for a home fixture. Nobody already booked is ever cancelled.
5. Any time
   Players Cannot make it? You are told who, and how many short that leaves you, on your home screen.
6. Night before
   Players A reminder, to the people playing.
7. After
   You Put the result in, on the same score screen the rest of the app uses.

All of your steps are on the fixture itself. The teams screen has the whole of it, including pasting the fixture list in.

What the job covers

It is under Club then Roles. The 2nds captain runs the 2nds. Nothing else changes hands: not the seasons, not the register, not the money, not another captain’s side. Only the captain of a side hears that it is short.

You can see the club list, because asking people to play means finding them. You cannot see anybody’s phone number or email address.

At a club with a lot of sides, the competitions manager runs all of them from one job, without being named on each, and hears about every side.

What only you see

The answers are yours. Who said no, who said maybe and who has not replied is your working list, and no member sees it. Levels order the names when you are picking, and are never on the team sheet or in a message.
