Guide for captains and organizers

Build your team

1. Create the team

   In «Perfil» (profile) tap «Crear equipo» (create team): name and preferred format. You can change the crest colour later.

2. Invite your people

   Search by name or @username. Give each member a role in the roster: captain, regular, rotation or goalkeeper. It’s their role in that team, not a restriction.

3. Add guests without an account

   If a teammate isn’t on PARCHUP yet, add them by name (phone is optional). When they join, they link their own account without creating a duplicate player.

Create the match

1. Tap «Crear partido»

   «Crear partido» (create match): pick the venue (or add it with its address and check the pin on the map), the match type, the format from 5v5 to 11v11, level, date, time and duration.

2. Decide who sees it

   Public: anyone in «Jugar» can find it and ask to join. Private: only the people you invite can see it and join.

3. Invite your roster

   When you create the match you can quickly invite your team’s roster.

4. Share it

   «Compartir partido» (share match) sends a WhatsApp link with venue, time and spots; if a goalkeeper is missing, the card says so.

Handle requests and spots

• From «Administrar partido» (manage match) you accept or decline requests. Spots update on their own.
• If you need to remove someone, their spot opens up and it doesn’t affect their reliability; they can ask to join again.
• Missing a keeper? In the goalkeeper section tap «Buscar arquero» (find a goalkeeper). Short of players? Use «Contratar jugador» (hire a player) to see who’s available nearby.

Teams and lineup

• Split confirmed players into Team 1 and Team 2 and give the captain’s armband to whoever leads each side.
• Pick the formation for the format and place each player on the pitch: everyone sees their position before arriving.
• For even sides, see how to pick even teams.

Your weekly match

Recurring matches, in the «Partidos» (matches) tab.

1. Set up the pattern once

   Name (for example, “Wednesday on the turf”), team, weekday, time, venue and the match details.

2. Create each date in one tap

   «Crear esta fecha» (create this date) creates that week’s match. Nothing is created on its own: you create each date.

3. Adjust a single date

   You can change the venue or time for that date only, skip it or cancel it. The weekly pattern stays the same.

Finish the match

• When it’s over, tap «Finalizar partido» (finish match): mark attendance, the result and, optionally, the goals.
• Attendance feeds each player’s reliability. Matches you close with real players marked as attending count as verified for the rewards center.

Match money

• You set the match contribution and it goes to you (for example, for the pitch).
• During the beta in-app payments are not active yet: you collect on your own, outside PARCHUP, and the PARCHUP commission isn’t charged. More on pricing.
