SquadLock runs your amateur football team — 5-a-side, 7-a-side or 11-a-side. Propose a few kick-off times and the app does the rest: the squad votes, the match locks itself, the roster settles and the pitch cost splits. No more sixty-message group chats to work out whether you have a team. GET THE MATCH CONFIRMED • Propose a few kick-off times and let the squad vote. • The match auto-locks the moment enough players say yes — no more endless "who's in?" threads. • Set your team's quorum so matches lock when it suits you. KNOW WHO'S ACTUALLY PLAYING • Your roster at a glance: confirmed, maybe, out, and who still hasn't replied. • Players set their own position; captains can override. • Push notifications keep everyone in the loop, so nobody has to read back through the chat. SPLIT THE PITCH COST • Share the cost evenly across everyone who's playing. • Track who's paid by Revolut, bank transfer or cash — no card details needed. • Send a payment reminder to anyone who's forgotten. AND IF YOU'RE STILL A PLAYER SHORT • Last-minute drop-out? Hit the panic button to alert available players nearby. • Find ringers (guest players) near your pitch when you're a man down. • Invite a ringer to a specific match and suggest the position you need. RUN YOUR OWN TOURNAMENT • Create a 5/7/11-a-side tournament in minutes. • Auto-generate brackets and group stages, report scores and track live standings. • Let teams register and free agents join the pool.
