Events

Events are the core of Convocados — each one represents a game session.

Creating an event

From the home page, fill in the create form:

Field	Required	Description
title	Yes	Game name, up to 100 characters
sport	No	Sport type — defaults to Football 5v5. Changing the sport auto-sets max players to the sport default
dateTime	Yes	Must be in the future
location	No	Text or URL — URLs become clickable links, plain text links to Google Maps
maxPlayers	No	2–30, auto-set by sport. Players beyond this go to the bench
teamOneName	No	Defaults to "Ninjas"
teamTwoName	No	Defaults to "Gunas"

Event URL

Each event gets a unique URL like /events/clx1abc2d.... This is the only way to access the event — there's no login or account system. Share this link with your group.

Event lifecycle

1. Created — event is live, players can join
2. Players join — via the shared link
3. Teams randomized — when enough players are in
4. Game played — at the scheduled date/time
5. Reset (recurring only) — player list clears, event advances to next date

Recurring events

Enable Recurring game in advanced options to auto-reset the player list. See Recurring Games for details.

Rate limiting

Event creation is rate-limited to 10 events per hour per IP to prevent abuse.
