Let someone else drive a game

Hand over a game or practice to another adult, and we check each car on its own.

Video: Handing a game to Grandpa 0:56, with sound and captions
Read what the video says

Saturday doesn’t work. Ava’s hockey game ends across town, too close to Maya’s soccer. Grandpa signs in with his own account, and drives from his own home. Everyone else sees only his town.

The day lists only the hand-overs that fix it. Give Ava’s game to Grandpa.

The conflict is gone. Your car is still tight, and the day says so.

Now there are two cars, and Grandpa’s starts from his home. Each car is checked, and each person too.

And Saturday counts as resolved.

Before you start: the other adult needs to sign in, and say where they drive from. Invite someone shows how.

Who can do this: an Editor, someone who can change the schedule, or the Owner, the one person in charge. A Viewer, someone who sees the schedule and changes only their own things, can take a game nobody drives. See Take a game yourself.

When you hand over a game, you give it to another adult to drive. It goes in their car, and they're its driver: the adult who drives it.

  1. Tap Schedule at the bottom, then tap the day. On a tablet or computer, it's on the left.

  2. Find the game or practice. Tap Needs a driver under its name, or the button that says who drives it.

  3. Under Hand it to, tap the adult who'll drive it.

    Someone greyed out hasn't added where they drive from yet.

    Ava’s hockey game on a phone with its driver tapped: a menu headed Hand it to, listing Chris, Dana and Grandpa, and Back to the household’s car.
    Tap the driver to hand the game to another adult.

What you'll see

The button now says who drives it. We check each car, then the day as a whole.

Sunday, October 25 on a phone: the Northside Hawks practice skipped and struck through, with Put it back, and Grandpa’s car taking Maya to both tournament games.
Skipped and handed over: each car and each person checked.

Anything nobody was handed rides in the household's car. Your household is everyone who shares your schedule.

To change a hand-over, tap the same button and pick someone else. To undo it, pick Back to the household's car.

Take a game yourself

A Viewer taps I'll take it on a game nobody is driving, and it goes in their car. To change their mind, they tap the button with their name, then Give it back.

The amber steering wheel

An amber steering wheel means needs a driver: nobody has said they'll drive it yet. You see it only when two or more adults sign in.

A Mudcats practice on a phone with Dana and Leo on it, and an amber Needs a driver button where the driver’s name goes.
Needs a driver: nobody has said they’ll drive it yet.

If one adult is free, the card offers them in one tap. On their phone, it says Yes, I'll take it.

After a hand-over, the household's car may ask who takes it, when more than one of you is free. Tap Hand to… there to give that whole car to one adult.

A game given to someone who can't drive now waits, and says so. Anyone who can drive can take it.

When a second car can't help

Two cars can be in two places at once, but one person can't. If the same person plays in both games, the day still won't work.

Tip: We don't send them a message, so let them know yourself.
