How to ask for, set and confirm the Playing XI
The organiser asks a team for its Playing XI. The captain picks the players and submits. The organiser confirms.
Who can do this
Ask and confirm: the tournament owner or a Manager.
Set the XI: the team owner, a team admin, the captain or the vice-captain. The organiser can also set it for either team.
