Who’s in, who’s paid, who’s picked — sorted before kick-off.

Box18 runs the weekly loop for amateur teams — ask, select, play, record, settle. Your squad answers on their phones. The numbers, the side and the money look after themselves.

One loop, every week

Each stage hands the next one real data, so week two is a confirm rather than a rebuild.

  1. 01
    Schedule
    Same venue, same time, same fee. One tap creates the season.
  2. 02
    Ask
    RSVP with a deadline, capacity and a waitlist that promotes itself.
  3. 03
    Select
    Pick the XI, or split even sides. Publish to the chat.
  4. 04
    Play
    Roll call at the ground, working with no signal.
  5. 05
    Record
    Score, scorers and minutes — confirmed by both teams.
  6. 06
    Settle
    Charges follow who actually played, not who said they would.

Phone first, pitch-side

The phone does match day. The laptop does the paperwork.

Players and managers use it on the phone — three taps, one hand, works on 3G in a car park — from a link, no download. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app, no app store. The same address on a laptop is the wide view: the ledger, the squad table, the league admin.

Nobody has to sign up to replyA link in the group chat is enough. Accounts come later, when they want history.
Every balance is defensibleDouble-entry ledger underneath. You can show any member exactly how their number was built.
The group chat staysTeam sheets, results and reminders export as pasteable links and images.

Sunday, as it happens

A local feed of team news, results and — when a team chooses to air it — the score as it happens. Managers post, followers follow along, nobody has to be in the group chat.

Airing a match is opt-in, per fixture

The manager decides: score only, or score plus commentary. Video is not on — when it is, youth fixtures stay score-only unless a guardian says otherwise.

Replying to a team’s link takes one tap, no account.

Follow a team without joining it

Friends and family get fixtures, results and streams in the feed — no membership, no obligations, no seeing anyone’s money.

Competitions that condense

Leagues form out of teams already playing

Declare interest — format, night, travel radius, level. When enough teams nearby want the same thing, Box18 forms the competition, builds the fixtures and keeps the table honest.
