Team Management
Your team is the hub of everything in Rosterlytic. This guide covers everything you need to know about managing your roster, configuring your team settings, and keeping your players in the loop.
Managing Your Roster
Adding Players
Captains can add players to the team at any time:
- Go to the Players screen
- Tap the + button
- Fill in the player's details:
- Name (required, up to 30 characters)
- Email (optional — useful if they'll be creating an account)
- Jersey Number (optional)
- Tap Save
The player is immediately added to your team roster.
Editing Players
Need to update a jersey number or fix a name? Tap on any player in the roster, then tap Edit. You can update their name, email, and jersey number.
Removing Players
Captains can remove players from the roster. Note that removing a player doesn't delete their historical stats — those are preserved for the team's records.
Season Rosters
Your team roster and your season roster are two different things. The team roster is everyone who's ever been on your team. The season roster controls who's eligible for a specific season.
This matters because:
- A player might join mid-season and shouldn't appear in stats entry for earlier games
- A player might sit out a season but still be on the team
- Your roster might change between Fall and Spring seasons
To manage a season roster:
- Go to Season Management
- Select the season
- Tap Manage Roster
- Add or remove players as needed
Only players on the season roster will show up when you enter stats for games in that season.
Team Settings
Tap the gear icon on your team dashboard to access settings. Here's what you can configure:
Join Code
Every team has a unique join code that players use to join. You can:
- Copy the code to your clipboard and paste it in a text or email
- Regenerate the code if you want to invalidate the old one (useful if it's been shared too widely)
Notification Preferences
Control what notifications your team members receive:
- Game Updates — Notifications when games are created, edited, or scores are posted
- Team Chat — Notifications for new messages in the team chat
Each team member can also individually toggle these from their own settings.
Stat Tracking Configuration
Captains can enable or disable specific stat categories for their sport. For example, a hockey team might want to track goals, assists, and plus/minus but skip tracking penalty minutes. This controls which stat columns appear when entering game stats.
Team Ownership Transfer
The team creator has a special level of control — they're the only one who can delete the team. If the original creator needs to hand off the team:
- Go to Team Settings
- Under Team Ownership, tap Transfer Ownership
- Select the new owner from the list of captains
After transfer, the new owner gains full control including the ability to delete the team.
Danger Zone
At the bottom of settings, you'll find:
- Leave Team — Remove yourself from the team. If you're the last captain, you'll need to promote someone else first.
- Delete Team — Permanently removes the team and all associated data (games, stats, chat history). Only the team creator can do this. This cannot be undone.
Tracking Attendance
Attendance tracking helps you know who's showing up and plan accordingly.
How It Works
When a game is created, every player on the roster can RSVP:
- Yes — They're coming
- No — They can't make it
- Maybe — They're not sure yet
Captains can also mark attendance on behalf of players.
Nudging Players
Haven't heard back from some players? On the game details screen, tap Nudge to send a push notification reminder to players who haven't RSVP'd yet.
Attendance Stats
Rosterlytic automatically tracks attendance rates over time. On any player's profile, you'll see:
- Their overall attendance percentage
- A reliability badge (Ironman, Reliable, Unpredictable, or Wildcard)
- Their last 5 games attendance trend
- A full game-by-game attendance history
This data helps captains make lineup decisions and identify who they can count on.
Tips
- Keep your roster current — Remove players who've left the team so they don't clutter your stats entry screens
- Use season rosters — They keep your stats clean and make it easy to track who was actually active each season
- Share your join code early — The sooner players join, the sooner they can RSVP and participate in chat
