Helpful tip

A selected home location lets CourtRoster infer whether a newly added match is home or away.

Choose the right visibility

  1. Private is the safest default for a roster that should only be visible to existing members.
  2. Invite only is useful when players will join through a link or team code.
  3. Public is appropriate only when the team should be discoverable more broadly.
