## What is Playfair?

Playfair runs your club's fines so the fine master doesn't have to. Assign a fine in seconds, players pay in the app with Apple Pay, and the kitty grows on its own — no spreadsheets, no notes app, no chasing.

Designed by sports players, for sports players, Playfair makes the fine system fun, transparent and effortless - for the players and the poor soul running it.

Create a club. Invite players with a code. Assign fines. Collect. It's that simple.

FOR THE FINE MASTER
Set up your club in minutes: pick your sport and get classic fines ready-made, or write your own
Attendance Check-Ins: set the venue and meet time; players check in on arrival, and latecomers and no-shows fine themselves automatically
Item of the Week: someone picks the item, the club gets notified, forget it and pay up
Recurring fines and unpaid-fine escalation for the repeat offenders
Reset the season with one tap: fresh kitty, unpaid debts still owed
Withdraw the pot to your club's bank whenever you like

FOR THE PLAYERS
See exactly what you owe and pay in seconds with Apple Pay
Watch the season's fine pot grow - and see who's topping the leaderboard of shame
Reckon a fine's harsh? Contest it and let the squad vote - kangaroo court, digitised
Spin the Wheel - clear your fines, halve them… or double them. High risk, high banter.

Every fine lands as a notification. Every payment goes straight to the club. Total transparency, zero admin.

No more managing fines through your notes app and chasing players. Let Playfair do the hard work - and put your fine pot towards something great.

Attendance Check-Ins
Set a location and meet time for training or match day. Players vote on whether they're coming, check in when they arrive — and anyone who's late or doesn't show gets fined automatically. You can even set different amounts for late arrivals vs no-shows. No more chasing excuses on a Tuesday night.

Item of the Week
The changing-room classic, digitised. The nominated player picks the item (bucket hat, rubber duck, you decide), the whole club gets notified, and whoever forgets to bring it gets fined — with a simple step-by-step flow for marking who brought it and passing the honour to next week's victim.

A brand-new setup experience
Create your club in a couple of minutes: pick your sport, choose your fines, send a demo fine to see how it lands, and share your club code. Players join with just a code — no card details, no faff.

Reset Season
Start the new season fresh: archive the kitty back to £0 while keeping every unpaid fine owed. Nobody escapes their debts over the summer.

Fairer payments
Fines now accumulate until they reach £10 before payment, so card fees don't eat into your club's kitty. Club payouts are now on-demand withdraw when it suits you, first withdrawal free each quarter.
