Fair splits
Goalie and part-time amounts are assigned, not assumed
OpenSports custom split lets a captain invoice a goalie or part-time player for less. The dollar figures in the guide are an illustration.
OpenSports’s captain guide for custom payment split says a captain can pay a required deposit and assign any portion of the remaining balance to each player. The guide’s example is a $2,000 team registration, a deposit like $200, and $1,800 left for teammates.
If ten teammates are expected to cover that $1,800, the guide offers two illustrations. One is an even $180 each. The other is a goalie at $100, a part-time player at $100, and the remaining $1,600 covered by everyone else at $200 each. Those numbers are the guide’s example. They are not a beer-league standard, and this calculator will not fill them in for you.
- The guide says a captain cannot charge more than the team owes. Extra invite amounts produce a warning.
- If nothing is still owing, a later player’s ticket defaults to $0 even if the invite had a price.
- Only league organizers can send refunds. Captains cannot.
- If the team overpays, the guide says the balance shows as a negative amount and refunds are up to the league admin.
On this calculator the same kind of choice is local. Give a goalie a percent discount, give a part-time player fewer shares, or give a spare a fixed amount that comes off the fee before the shares are split. You type every number.
