How Turf Time works

A quick guide to running your team, challenging rivals, and tracking results.

  1. 1. Create or join a team

    Tap Create a team from Welcome to become a captain. Pick a name and your home court (the venue you usually play at).

    To join an existing team, browse the Leaderboard and request to join, or open a captain's invite link.

    Each player can only belong to one active team at a time. Leave your current team before joining another.

  2. 2. Invite your players

    From your team page, tap Invite link to generate a shareable URL. Copy it or share via WhatsApp.

    Anyone who opens the link will be prompted to sign in (if needed) and then join your squad automatically.

    Captains see incoming join requests in the bell icon at the top of every page.

  3. 3. Challenge another team

    Open Fixtures → Challenge a team. Search by name or court. Local rivals at your home court appear first.

    Optionally pick a date — this is for tracking match scheduling inside the app only and does not book the actual pitch.

    Pick a venue from the standard court list so stats stay consistent.

  4. 4. Log a match result

    After a fixture is played, the winning captain submits the score and goal scorers from their squad.

    The opposing captain confirms the result and can add their own scorers. Once confirmed, ratings update automatically.

    If no one confirms within 24 hours, the result auto-confirms to keep things moving.

  5. 5. Stats, ranks and Top Scorers

    Team ratings use an Elo-style system: beating stronger teams earns more points. Big wins multiply gains.

    The Players tab shows the league's top goal scorers — only goals attributed to registered squad members count.

  6. Need a court added or found a bug?

    Use Send feedback (in your profile menu) to request a new court — including private or custom venues — report bugs, or share suggestions.
