Track player eligibility under England Hockey's 50% Rule
The Team-Tied Calculator helps club admins ensure squad selections comply with England Hockey Regulation 8.3 - the "50% Rule". It automatically analyses league fixtures, counts player appearances across teams, and calculates eligibility percentages for each player.
Once calculated, eligibility badges appear in Selection Manager, giving captains and managers instant visibility of who can play when the rule applies.
Key Benefits:
Step 1: Open the Calculator
Navigate to Manage Club from the bottom menu. Look for the "Team-Tied Calculator" card and tap to open.
Step 2: Select Your Section
Choose the section you want to analyse from the dropdown (e.g., "Men's Hockey", "Women's Hockey"). Each section must be calculated separately.
Step 3: Run the Calculation
Tap Calculate Now. Teamo will scan all league fixtures in that section and count appearances for every player.
Step 4: Review the Results

Step 5: Save to Member Accounts
Tap Save to Members to store the data. Eligibility badges will now appear in Selection Manager for all club admins.
When selecting players for fixtures, you'll see coloured badges next to each name:
Badge/Meaning
🟢 Green (60%+)
Comfortably eligible - no concerns
🟡 Yellow (50-59%)
Eligible but borderline - monitor closely
🔴 Red (below 50%)
Not eligible when the 50% rule applies
How it's calculated:
Eligibility for a team = (Appearances for that team + lower teams) ÷ Total appearances
Example: A player with 6 appearances for 1st XI and 4 for 2nd XI has 40% eligibility for 2nd XI (4÷10) - they'd show a red badge.
If you need to reset eligibility data (e.g., for a new season):
