FEATURES
Know who's in before you pick the team
One poll per match, training session or event. Players respond in the app or through a link — and their answers feed straight into team selection. No midweek message chaos.
Want to see whether it fits your club? Talk to the SubSync team or email info@sub-sync.co.uk.
Poll the whole matchday in one go
Create a fixture poll that groups several fixtures together, so one poll covers everything happening that weekend. Players answer once for the whole group — and can add a note if it's not a clean yes, like “home games only”. One request, every answer, nothing lost across five different group chats.
SATURDAY 12 OCTOBER — ONE POLL
- First XI vs Old Parks — 14:00
- Reserves vs Old Parks Res — 14:00
- Sunday training — 10:30
One response: ✓ in for the lotNote: “home games only”
TUESDAY TRAINING — RECURRING
- Tracker created automatically
- Poll repeats every Tuesday 19:00
- Registers itself — no admin needed
Training sorts itself out
Creating a training session automatically creates its availability tracker. Set training to recur and the polls go out on schedule, every week, without anyone lifting a finger. You just open the app and see who's coming.
Everyone can respond — in the app or by link
Club members answer in the app. Everyone else gets a link that works in any browser — trialists, guests, dual-signed players, anyone outside the club. And polls can be combined, so players get a single link covering everything instead of five.
📱
In the app
Members get every poll for every team they play for, with reminders before the deadline. Two taps and they're done.
🔗
By shareable link
One link per poll — or one link for several combined polls. Share it anywhere: WhatsApp, email, the club website. No account needed to respond.
The chasing happens automatically
Set an automatic close date and SubSync does the nagging: email and push-notification reminders go out on your schedule, and anyone who still hasn't answered after the deadline is flagged as late.
Then responses flow directly into team selection — you only ever pick from players who are actually available.
BUILT FOR CLUBS, NOT JUST TEAMS
One poll, every team
Running two, three, four sides from the same squad? Poll once for the whole matchday, then select each team from the same set of responses. No separate polls per team, no players answering the same question three times.
Availability Polling FAQs
The questions managers always ask.
Do players need the SubSync app to respond to a poll?
No. Club members can respond in the app, but every poll also generates a shareable link that works in any browser — ideal for trialists, guests and players outside the club.
Can one availability poll cover multiple teams?
Yes. Clubs running several sides from the same squad can poll once for the whole matchday and then select each team from the same set of responses.
What happens when players ignore the poll?
Fixture polls support automatic close dates plus email and push-notification reminders. Anyone who still hasn’t responded after the deadline is flagged as late, so managers know exactly who to chase — usually nobody.
Does availability feed into team selection?
Directly. Selection screens are built from live poll responses, so you only ever pick from players who are actually available.
