One financier, a quiet roster
The treasurer records the money. Players only see their own balance and the team wallet - not everyone else’s debts.
What it does
Game day has referee fees, two food orders, and someone who paid from their pocket. Potkeeper records that once, splits it cleanly, and keeps two numbers honest: the pot, and each player’s ledger.
The treasurer records the money. Players only see their own balance and the team wallet - not everyone else’s debts.
Soccer and volleyball do not share a wallet. Open a book per sport or tournament so the money never mixes. The year is the year the tournament starts - even if games run into January.
Referee, court, snacks. Who played, who ate, who paid cash. Equal split, remainder handled to the cent.
Set an expected target. Record what each person actually paid. The book shows who is done and who is still short.
Add a name on game day. Assign their login email when you have it. Their shares and dues stay on the same person.
Keep the season live, freeze a snapshot when you chase collections, then close. Reopen with a reason if you must.
How it works
1
Create the team. Name the first book - Fall league, Indoor cup - and set the tournament start date. That start year is the year everyone sees, even if games spill into the next calendar year.
2
Game day: who played, guests, who paid. Or a single bill. Season dues against a target. Assign emails when people are ready to log in.
3
A player taps their name and gets a statement. Home shows owe and credit for that tournament year. When the season ends, finalize, chase, then close.

The details that matter
$100 across three people is $33.34, $33.33, $33.33 - not a leftover penny that nobody owns. Personal extras sit on the person who ordered them.
If Maya pays snacks from her pocket, she gets the credit. If it comes from the pot, the wallet drops. The split still lands on who played.
A walk-on name is enough for that match. If they stay, assign an email later so they can register and keep the same history.
Potkeeper does not take cards or send payouts. The financier marks paid. The book stays the source of truth.
What it is not
It is not a group IOU app for dinner with friends. It is not chat, RSVP, or standings. It is the club treasurer’s book: one pot, one roster, one tournament year at a time.
