Captain scope
What captains can do
- Help manage the team roster where the competition rules allow it.
- Submit the match roster for your team before match start.
- Set lineup for your own side only, based on each game's rules.
- Start eligible matches when both sides are ready.
- Submit or update scores until the opposing side confirms or disputes.
- Monitor payment health and unresolved seats in paid events.

1. Roster
Keep your team ready
Captains work from the team roster first, then the smaller match roster. The team roster is everyone available to the team. The match roster is the subset chosen for a specific match.
- Check eligibility before adding or selecting players.
- Review age and gender requirements if the competition uses them.
- For leagues, watch the roster window between rounds or stops.
- For events, expect tighter locking once live play begins.
Match rosters
Before a match can start, each side needs its match roster.
Captain notes
Respect roster-size, gender, and age rules. In paid events, confirm seat coverage before locking the roster.
Game 1 • MXD • Split-Age
Anna Leigh Waters • Ben Johns
Catherine Parenteau • Tyson McGuffin
Lineup guardrails
Same-round duplication, age rules, gender rules, and max-games-per-player checks all happen before save.
3. Lineups
Set lineups one game at a time
Each game can have its own discipline and restrictions. Ladders validates lineup size, gender rule, age rule, same-round duplication, and max-games-per-player limits before saving.
Follow the game rule
MXD, men, women, co-ed, split-age, or open rules apply at the individual game level.
Expect reveal order
Some matches use a round-flip approach so one side does not always reveal lineup first.
Score locks the lineup
Once a score is entered for a game, the lineup is no longer a normal edit action.
4. Scores
Enter and confirm scores responsibly
Captains can participate directly in score workflows. The system enforces target score, win-by rules, and other match constraints before accepting results.
- Submit scores only after lineup is set.
- Review for win-by and no-tie requirements.
- Update scores only when correction is truly needed.
- Be ready for opponent confirmation or dispute flow.

Why this matters
Captains should use standings and result surfaces, not just the current match screen, to understand seeding, momentum, and what the next match means.
Captain checklist before every match
- Confirm your eligible team players are available.
- Submit the match roster for your side.
- Set lineups only after reviewing the game-specific rules.
- Double-check scores before submission.
- Review standings and next-match implications afterwards.
