Manage game is your control panel. Open your game and tap Manage game to see everyone in one place: the roster grouped by team, the unassigned players and the reserve list.
Join requests
On approval-required games, each request arrives as a notification card and under View Join Requests in the game's menu. Tap the player's name to check their profile, level and ratings, then:
- Accept — they're in and land in the event chat.
- Ask to Pay (paid games) — they join as soon as they pay; the card comes back marked paid so accepting is one tap.
- Move to Reserve — when you'd rather keep them in line.
- Decline.
Cards show the payment state — "Has not paid", "Claims they have paid" or "Paid with ATH Móvil". If anyone is still waiting 24 hours before kickoff, every admin gets a reminder.
The Players tab
- Hold and drag a player to reorder, move them to another team or to the Reserve list — every drop saves at once. Dragging someone off the reserve list promotes them.
- Tap ⋯ on a player for View Profile, Change team or position (keeper, defender, midfielder, forward), Move to reserve list or Remove from game.
- On paid games, a green seal means paid and a yellow clock means the player says they paid and you haven't confirmed. Tap the row to confirm, reject or send a reminder. See Collect payments.
Remove a player
Tap Remove from game and pick a reason: Didn't show up, Behavior, Roster change, Didn't pay or Other. The player is told the reason. For no-shows and behavior, the rest of the squad can rate how it was handled after the game. See Leave a game and late withdrawals.
Add a player
Tap the person-plus icon and pick anyone on Xsporty. On a paid game you choose Add as paid or Add as unpaid. If the game is full, the app offers to raise the limit by one or to swap them with someone, who moves to the reserve list.
The reserve list
With Move players up automatically on, the first player in line takes any spot that opens — when someone leaves, you remove a player, raise the limit or release a held spot. Priority-group members go first, and on paid games players who already paid are promoted first. Turn automatic promotion off if you prefer to move players up yourself. See Reserve list.
When the game is full
Tap Create teams to split everyone up and post the teams to the chat. See Build teams. Once kickoff has passed, Mark as Completed in the game's menu ends the game and opens ratings.
