Admin Setup

The Settings section lets you customise how Capo works for your group. Most defaults work well, but here's what you can tweak.

Group basics

• •Club name — Your group's name as it appears throughout the app
• •Team names — Default names for Team A and Team B (e.g., "Orange" and "Green")
• •Default team size — How many per side (5v5, 6v6, etc.) for new matches
• •Days between matches — Default gap when scheduling matches
• •Match duration — How long your games typically run (used for "minutes per goal" stats)

Default match mode

Choose how new matches work by default:

• •Manual — You add players and manage everything yourself
• •RSVP — Players book their own spot, you balance and send teams
• •Auto-Pilot — Players book, Capo balances and sends automatically when full

You can override this per match. See RSVP & Booking for details.

Balance settings

• •Default balance method — Performance, Ability, or Random
• •EWMA half-life — How quickly older matches fade in performance calculations (advanced)
• •Power vs Goal Threat weighting — Balance between overall strength and scoring ability (advanced)

Fantasy points

You can configure the points to be whatever you want — it's totally flexible. That said, we recommend sticking with the defaults. They've been battle-tested over 10 years and we've tried every combination to make matches and stats fun and motivating.

Why no points for goals? We get asked this a lot. The problem is it encourages goal-hanging and selfish play. Goal scorers already have the goals leaderboard to motivate them.

Why points for heavy wins/losses? This keeps games competitive. Even when a team is 3-0 down, there's motivation to avoid a heavy loss deduction (and chase a comeback bonus).

Voting settings

• •Voting enabled — Master toggle for post-match voting
• •MoM/DoD/MiA — Toggle each award category
• •Voting duration — How long voting stays open (default: 12 hours)

Streak settings

• •Show On Fire — Display the winning streak badge
• •Show Grim Reaper — Display the losing streak badge
• •Streak thresholds — How many wins/losses trigger each badge

Regional settings

• •Timezone — Used for match times and scheduling
• •Currency — For future payment features
• •Locale — Date and number formatting
