## What is AreaPlay?

AreaPlay runs your weekly pickup game by itself: attendance list, guest queue, balanced team draw and game-fee tracking — all in one place, without spreadsheets or group-chat chaos.

FOR THE ORGANIZER
• Create your group in 2 minutes (soccer, volleyball and more)
• The list opens and closes on schedule every week — or game by game in league mode
• Team draw balanced by player ratings — fair teams, for real
• Game fee and membership tracking with one-tap confirmation
• Publish the weekly notice and your group rules for everyone

FOR THE PLAYER
• Confirm attendance in one tap and get notified when a spot opens
• See the drawn teams and who is in
• Your payments organized in their own tab
• Pick your favorite position

Invite your group with a link — everyone joins with their own account, approved by the organizer. Notifications by app push or email, your choice, in English, Portuguese or Spanish.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.16 — 2026-09-17

• Charges: new Waive button — closes a charge that no longer applies (injury, agreement, mistake) without counting as money received. Recorded with the reason, and it can be undone.

• "I paid" now says exactly which month or game fee you paid — the organizer confirms the right item, no guessing.

### 1.0.15 — 2026-09-15

• Switching groups now opens with your correct role. If you organize more than one group, the app used to show the player view until you tapped the group name again.

• Charges: someone with one month open and another already reported as paid now shows in both sections, each with its own amount. Before, the whole person sat on one side and the overdue amount vanished from the overdue list.

### 1.0.14 — 2026-09-14

• The group’s Cash section was rebuilt. Charges: one line per person, with chips for each open month and item-by-item settling. Summary: close the month at a glance. Statement: a ledger by date, with copy and CSV export.

• The statement now tells the truth game by game: a day pass already paid no longer shows as “said they paid” just because another one that month is still open.

• Groups collecting by Zelle or PayPal now see those details in charge notices — the message used to mention Pix even with no key on file.

• Someone who owes more than one thing gets ONE charge with the total and an “I paid” button that pauses all of them at once.

• Membership fees speak at the milestones — due today, overdue, spot at risk — instead of repeating every day.

• The organizer can remind day-players who have not replied even after the list closes.

### 1.0.11 — 2026-09-13

• Charges: someone who owes more than one thing now shows up on a single line, with the total. The screen used to show one month at a time and hide the rest.

• Take it all in one tap, or record a partial payment — whatever is left over becomes that person’s credit toward the next charge.

• New “Coming due” section: what is not due yet shows separately instead of vanishing from the screen.

• A monthly fee charged in the previous month now counts as overdue on the right date.

• Fixes: the organizer bar that disappeared in the browser, and the email link that asked again someone who had already answered.

### 1.0.10 — 2026-09-11

• Someone did not show up mid-game? Mark the no-show and the app immediately asks who can come. Whoever answers raises their hand — and you pick who comes in. Pick nobody and the court plays a player down, with nobody charged for a game they did not choose to play.

• Cannot make it after the game has started? You can now say so in the app, from your My attendance card.

• Whoever comes in takes the spot of whoever left, on the same team — no re-draw in the middle of the match.

• Mercado Pago charges: pay with the code and you are done. Confirmation is automatic, in seconds — no need to tell anyone.

• The statement now shows which game fees the app reconciled on its own.
