Squad quota and roster cap monitor

A CSV export of the current registration data, one row per player per club, and a written list of the quota rules you actually enforce (squad size caps, age-grade windows, non-local player limits). Most offices have the second part in someone's head rather than a document, so the first working session is often just writing the rules down properly. Without that list the dashboard has nothing to check against.

It sits next to it. The registration and membership database stays the system of record for who is registered and to whom. This tool reads a copy of that data and layers a continuous check and an alert on top, because the gap today is not the record itself but nobody watching it against the quota rules until someone asks.

It probably does work most weeks, for the person who maintains it, while they are in the office. The failure mode is not the spreadsheet being wrong, it is that checking it depends on someone remembering to open it, and nobody else knows what it says. This tool does not claim to track quotas better than a careful person with a spreadsheet; it claims to keep checking when that person is on leave, in a hearing, or simply behind.

No. It flags the breach and escalates it to the named owner of that rule, but the decision, including whether an exception applies, stays with the registration officer or competition administrator. Blocking a submission automatically would need the quota rules to be exact and exception-proof, and in practice they rarely are. This tool is built to make a breach visible early, not to make the call for you.
