The UTR Sports Team Leagues platform provides intuitive features and notifications addressing the challenges of player availability and lineup creation to enhance team coordination and match management.
To get started, captains can send a reminder to the team to request their availability status once the league schedule is published. This can be done by going into the Schedule tab from the team page and selecting the upcoming team match.
Once you are on the team match page, you can locate the Set Reminders button from your respective team. Don't forget to toggle on the reminders before hitting send. Players will be given the following options: Yes, No, and Maybe.
You'll be able to identify which players have provided their availability on the team match page.
Note: This view is only available for captains.
Captains and co-captains can now jointly create a match lineup. You can also see the player's availability from the drop-down list when creating the lineup match.
Once you are all set, click the Lock button and you'll be given the option to notify the players.
