Tutorial for organisers

Run your weekly game on Bibs

From setting up your group to confirming who played. You'll never have to chase anyone for money again.

About 10 minutes to set up · 13 steps

  1. Step 1

    Create your group

    Tap Start a group and sign in with your email. We send you a 6-digit code, so there's no password.

    Add the group name, venue and postcode, then the day, kick-off time, game length and squad size.

  2. Step 2

    Set your price

    Enter your price per game: what you want from each player. Bibs shows what players will pay for each way to pay, with every fee included.

    Choose which ways to pay your group allows. Pay upfront and pay per game both collect before the game, so you're never out of pocket.

    What players pay: pay upfront £5.33 a game, pay per game £5.49 a game, and what you receive
  3. Step 3

    Set your group rules (optional)

    Tick ready-made rules, on the pitch (like no slide tackles or rush goalie) and in the group (like arriving 10 minutes early), and add your own.

    Players read them and tick "I've read the group rules" before they join.

    Players join in a minute. You'll see them appear under Members.

    Set up payouts

    Tap Set up payouts. Stripe, our payment provider, checks your ID and asks for the bank account to pay you into.

    It usually takes a few minutes. When it says Ready, players' payments go straight to your bank. Bibs never holds your money.

    Watch the squad fill up

    Each week, players tap In or Out. Open any game to see who's playing and who's on the waitlist.

    If someone drops out late, the waitlist is offered the spot, and whoever takes it covers the player who dropped out.

    Confirm who played

    After the game, mark everyone Played, No-show or Excused, and add any guests who paid you cash. Bibs emails you a reminder.

    If you forget, everyone still In counts as Played 48 hours after kick-off.

    Share with your venue (optional)

    It's in Group settings, and you can stop at any time.
