Match-Day Availability

Track who's Available, Out, Late, or TBD for each fixture. One-tap status buttons on game-day events with a per-roster availability snapshot.

3 min readUpdated May 22, 2026

Match-day availability lets you track who's playing -- and who isn't -- for every fixture in your calendar. Status is captured per calendar event (game day or tournament) and per athlete, so a player can be Available for Saturday and Out for the midweek cup tie without you having to maintain two lists.

Availability builds on top of Rosters. You need at least one active roster before availability tracking is meaningful -- without a roster, there's no squad to ask about.

Statuses

Each athlete on a fixture's availability list carries one of four statuses:

StatusWhen to use
AvailableConfirmed for selection.
OutUnavailable -- injured, away, family commitment, etc.
LateAvailable but arriving late (work, school, travel).
TBDNot yet confirmed. The default state until a status is set.

Setting availability

Open the game-day or tournament event on the calendar and scroll to the Availability section. You'll see every athlete on your active rosters listed with one-tap status buttons -- Available, Out, Late, TBD. Tap a status to set it. Tap again to clear back to TBD.

Availability is captured per calendar event. If two fixtures fall on the same weekend (for example, a first-team match on Saturday and a development-squad cup tie on Sunday), a player who sits on both rosters can be Available for one event and Out for the other -- the status lives on the fixture, not on the roster.

Mark all available

For the common "everyone's playing" case, click Mark all available at the top of the Availability section to flip every TBD entry to Available in one move. You can still mark individual players Out or Late afterwards.

From the lineup builder

Availability also surfaces inside the lineup builder. When you pick a match-day squad, each slot row shows the athlete's current status -- an out player is flagged, a late player carries a badge -- and you can mark a player available or unavailable inline without leaving the builder. It's the same per-fixture availability data, so a status you set on the calendar event shows up in the lineup builder and vice versa. The game-day event's Availability section is where you get the full four-status control plus Mark all available.

Captured timing context

When you tap a status, the platform records how many hours before kick-off the change happened. That gives you a longitudinal picture of when squads firm up across the season -- for example, you can spot whether your group typically locks in 24 hours out, or whether everyone's still TBD on the morning of the game.

This is captured automatically. You don't need to do anything to enable it; it's on for every status change.

Availability snapshot on the roster page

On a roster's detail page, the Availability snapshot card shows the next three fixtures pulled from your calendar, each with Available / Out / Late / TBD counts. Quick way to see whether the squad's coming together for the next match or whether you've got chasing to do.

When to use this vs. session attendance

These are two different tracking flows:

  • Session attendance records who actually showed up to a training session. It's retrospective -- you mark it during or after the session.
  • Match-day availability records who's expected for an upcoming fixture. It's prospective -- you set it ahead of the game so the squad knows where it stands.

Use both. Availability lets you finalise a squad. Attendance closes the loop on who turned up.
