Managing Teams
Add, edit, or remove teams from your league.
If you are managing registration externally or have a mix of cases where some teams register in person and some through volley.love, you can add, edit, or remove teams.
Adding a Team
To add a team, locate the "Add team" button at the end of the Teams table:

You will be presented with a dialog that looks like this:

Simply fill in the fields. You can even choose to track payment details for the team, but it's not required.
It is highly, highly recommended to include the captain's email. volley.love emails captains for various reasons, documented here.
Without a captain's email, volley.love cannot email the captain.
Editing a Team
If you wish to change a detail about a team (team number, name, or captain info), you can do so by clicking on the triple-dot menu next to the team name in the teams table and choosing "Edit Details"

From here you can modify the team number, name, and captain contact information.

You can edit a team name or number at any time without any negative impact to schedules. It will simply update the team name everywhere. You will not need a new schedule for updating a team name.
Updating Team Payment Details
If you wish, you can use volley.love to track whether a team has paid their registration fees for the league. This is done automatically if you chose to use in-app payments, which will mark the team as paid when they register.
If you're manually tracking, simply open the team menu and choose "Payment Details"

You will see a form like the following:

Here you have a history of events and you can record a new one. You can choose between:
- Unknown
- Unpaid
- Paid
You can also optionally include a note or a link to the payment.
This is a tool for your own tracking purposes.
Removing a Team
Before the Schedule
If you need to remove a team before a schedule has been created, you can delete them by choosing the "Delete" option in the team menu.
You will be asked to confirm this action. This permanently removes the team.
After the Schedule (Dropping a Team)
Once a schedule exists, teams cannot be deleted — instead, you can drop them. Open the team menu and choose "Drop Team."
You will be presented with two options:
- Forfeit remaining matches — The dropped team forfeits all future matches. Opposing teams receive automatic wins. The rest of the schedule stays the same. This option is always free.
- Create a new schedule — Future matches are removed and a new schedule is created without the dropped team. Matches happening in the next few days are forfeited. You will review and approve the new schedule before it goes live. This counts as a schedule change — see Schedule Change Fees.
Dropped teams remain visible in standings with their past results preserved. Their name appears with a strikethrough in the teams list and schedule.
Dropping a team is permanent and cannot be undone. If a team was dropped by mistake, please contact support.
