A fines app for football teams

Every squad has a fines kitty and a WhatsApp thread nobody reads. Fined gives your team one place to nominate offenders, let the changing room decide, and keep a running tab of who still owes.

Fines your squad will actually use

• Late for training or kick-off
• Wrong kit, missing shin pads or boots left at home
• Own goal, air shot or a shocking panenka
• Missing the team photo or the group chat
• Booked for dissent
• Last one to the bar after the match

Running the fines

1. Step 1

   Create your team's court

   Name the court, add your badge, and set the default fine or forfeit so nobody argues about the amount later.

2. Step 2

   Invite the squad

   Share a join code or link in the team chat. Players join in seconds, no admin spreadsheet required.

3. Step 3

   Nominate and second

   Anyone can nominate a teammate with the charge. The fine only sticks once the required number of teammates second it, so it stays a group decision.

4. Step 4

   Settle up

   Players mark fines as paid and a teammate confirms it. Stats and leaderboards show the season's worst offenders.

Questions

How do we agree on the fine amounts?

When you create the court you set the default fine or forfeit and its amount, so every nomination starts from the same agreed figure.

Can a player argue a fine?

Yes. While a nomination is still waiting to be seconded, the accused can lodge an objection with their defence. If the objection gets backing, the fine is void and it backfires onto whoever raised it.

Does it have to be money?

No. A fine can be money, a round of drinks, press-ups or any forfeit the squad agrees on. The app just tracks who owes what.

Who keeps track of who has paid?

Each player marks a fine as paid and another member confirms it, so the running tab stays honest without one person chasing everyone.
