Squad guidelines

Vote on the game, not the person

Rate how someone played tonight, not whether you like them, and not to settle something from the group chat. Votes are private so that you can be honest, not so that you can be unkind.

One vote can't do much anyway: a rating needs several voters, and the highest and lowest are dropped once enough people have voted. A squad that votes fairly gets fair teams.

Names and photos

Your name and photo appear on your card, which your whole squad sees and which can be shared.

• Use the name your mates call you. No abusive or offensive names.
• Use a photo of you, with your face in the middle. No offensive photos, and no photos of someone else.
• The same goes for the squad's name and crest.

Banter mode is the squad's choice

Banter tags (Ball hog, Moaner and the like) are off unless your organiser switches them on, and they never change a card. If your squad has them on and they've stopped being funny for someone, the organiser can switch them off in Settings.

Age

Squadcard is for people aged 13 and over. If you think someone in a squad is younger, report it.

Keep the invite link in the group

Anyone with a squad's invite link can join it. Post it in your group chat, not anywhere public. If it gets out, the organiser can make a new one, and the old link stops working.

Reporting

From the squad page, choose "Report or block". You can report a player, or the squad itself, for an offensive name or photo, bullying or harassment, someone under 13, or spam.

Reports go to the Squadcard team, not to your squad, and we never tell anyone who reported. A reported photo comes off the card while we look at it.

Blocking

Block someone and you won't see their photo anywhere. They aren't told. Their name still shows in teams and votes, because the game needs it; to stop playing with them, you can leave the squad at any time.

What organisers can do

Organisers can remove a player from the squad, and choose to keep them out for good. The removed player's past games stay in the history, because other people's records depend on them. Organisers can't see or change anyone's votes.

The full rules are in the terms of use, and what we keep about you is in the privacy policy. For anything else, the support page has our contact details.
