🚗 Lifts to away matches

When a squad is picked for an away friendly, Pavilion helps sort out the cars.

For players

• The selection email asks players to say in the members’ app whether they can drive or need a lift.
• On the app’s home screen, the Lifts to away matches card offers I can drive (with the number of spare seats), I need a lift or Own way.
• Once a car is arranged, the card shows who is in it and where and when to meet. Only first names and postcode districts (for example NG7) are shown, and only to the people in the same car.

For the captain

• Open Reports → Squad and choose the away match. The Lifts panel below the rinks lists the cars, who still needs a lift, who is making their own way and who has not said yet.
• Pavilion suggests the cars itself, putting people who live near each other (by postcode district) together.
• Use Move to… to put somebody in a different car; your choice is kept. Suggest cars again forgets your moves and starts afresh.
• Set the meeting point and time; it shows on everyone’s card. It starts as the clubhouse car park, an hour before the match.
• For a player without the app, use Answer for them next to their name.

If a driver drops out, or leaves the squad, their passengers are found another seat if there is one and are told what has changed. Anyone left without a lift shows at the top of the Lifts panel.

Common questions

Why does it put some people far apart?

It uses the postcode on each member’s record. A member with no postcode can go in any car. Add postcodes to the member records for better suggestions, or move people by hand.

Can the other players see my address or phone number?

No. They see your first name and the first half of your postcode only, and only if you are in the same car.

Does it work for home matches or league fixtures?

Lifts are offered for away friendlies picked on the Squad screen. Home matches do not need them.
