Roster

The Roster page (/roster) is the source of truth for every player in your program. Most generation in BenchOS pulls from this data — the deeper your player profiles, the more contextual your practice plans, dev plans, and game briefs become.

The roster index

Two tabs:

• Active Roster — every player currently on the team, sorted alphabetically by last name
• Archived — players who've been archived (transferred, graduated, etc.); they don't appear in generation but their history is preserved

Each row shows:

• Player name and avatar
• Position
• Year
• Role
• Projected Minutes (or Set → if not configured)

A minutes-budget banner appears at the top if your projected minutes exceed the team's available capacity for your game format.

Adding a player

Click Add Player to open the modal. Required fields are first name, last name, position, and role; year is optional. Once added, the player shows up immediately in the Active Roster — open their profile to fill out the rest.

The player profile

Click any player to open /roster/[playerId]. Sections include:

• Bio — name, photo, position, year, role, projected minutes, plus physical attributes (height, weight, wingspan, vertical). Click the pencil icon to edit. To upload a player photo, click Add photo (or Change photo if one is already set) — pick an image, crop to square, and save.
• Scouting Report — preset tag chips for Offensive Strengths/Weaknesses, Defensive Strengths/Weaknesses, Physical Attributes, and Intangibles (e.g. High IQ, Toughness). A profile counts as thin until it has at least one strength and one weakness tag; the dashboard points you to thin profiles, and the development plan form flags a thin-profile player before you generate, since Coach Bloom builds the plan from these tags.
• Goals & Notes — free-text space for the player's seasonal goals and your coaching notes.
• Dev Cards — the player's lightweight, persistent development picture (see Player Development for the difference between dev cards and dev plans).

What you see follows your permissions. Without access to player profiles, players on the roster and in the depth chart aren't clickable. Without access to the roster or player profiles, a direct link to the page tells you access is restricted; without access to dev plans or dev cards, those sections are simply left out of the profile.

Archiving and restoring

From a player profile, click Archive Player. You'll get a confirmation dialog before the move. Archived players hop to the Archived tab and stop showing up in roster pickers and generation — but they're never deleted, so you can restore them at any time from the Archived tab.

Why this matters

Roster context flows into every other surface: practice plans pull projected minutes for load distribution, game briefs use availability and matchups, dev plans use scouting tags and goals to prioritize. Time spent on player profiles compounds — it makes everything downstream sharper.
