Game Amenities

Game Amenities

Amenities are the fixed facts about a pitch and its setup that a host ticks on when they’re creating a game. Is the pitch indoor? Is it astro turf? Are there showers? Is there someone providing the ball, or should players bring one? Players see the ticks on the game card and on the game profile, so they can decide what to pack and whether the setup suits them.

The eight

There are exactly eight of them, each a simple yes/no toggle the host flips on the game editor:

• Indoor — the game is played under a roof, not open-air.
• Astro turf — the pitch is synthetic grass (vs. concrete, natural grass, or parquet).
• Goal posts — proper goals are set up. If this is off, the host probably expects cones or bags.
• Showers — there are showers at the venue.
• Bibs — the host is supplying bibs/pinnies for the teams.
• Ball — a match ball will be there. If off, someone needs to bring one.
• Bar — there’s a bar at the venue (drinks afterwards).
• Parking — the venue has parking on-site or immediately nearby.

Each one has its own icon that shows up next to the game on your feed.

Where you see them

Three places:

• On game cards in your feed — a small icon row with whichever amenities the host ticked. Quick scan: bibs + ball + showers means you just need to turn up; no bibs + no ball means you’re bringing something.
• On the game profile — a larger panel with the same eight, showing which ones the host set on and which are off.
• On the home-screen filters — you can filter your feed to only show games that have specific amenities. Each filter shows how many of your nearby games currently match it.

Why they’re separate from Host Rules

Amenities and host rules look similar at a glance — both are lists on the game profile set by the host. They do different jobs:

• Amenities are facts about the venue/setup. Fixed list of eight. Filterable. Informational.
• Host rules are free-text rules of play (“no sliding tackles”, “cleats required”). Any wording, any number.

Neither is enforced by Furbol — if the host ticks “showers” but the showers aren’t working that evening, that’s between the host and the venue.

Amenities vs. restrictions

Worth naming the distinction: amenities describe the setup, while game restrictions gate who can book (gender, age, level, experience). Restrictions Furbol does enforce at booking time; amenities it doesn’t check at all.
