How it works
Set the rule once. Keep every exception visible.
Automation should not remove judgment from coaches or treasurers. Frostlete can apply rules automatically, or hold them for staff review before a fine lands on the player ledger.
Set the rule
Example: no RSVP after the deadline means a small fine or a duty.
Frostlete checks the event
Attendance, RSVP status, and lateness are reviewed against the rule.
The player is notified
The notice includes the reason, amount, and where to review it.
Staff control the ledger
Adjust, waive, complete, export, or review appeals from one place.
Fully customizable without becoming messy
Clubs can start with presets, then tune the details to match their culture. Keep fines light, switch the currency to match the club, use warnings first, or require staff approval before anything is applied.

Player experience
Notify players without another awkward chase
The notice should say what happened, what the penalty is, and where the player can review it. Coaches get the accountability they need, while players get a clear record instead of a vague group-chat reminder.
Use structured notices so each player sees the reason, amount, status, and ledger link.
Add payment instructions and use the club's chosen currency when treasurers need to track what is owed.
Staff controls
Automation still needs adult supervision
Manual review
Hold rules for approval before applying the penalty.
Waive or adjust
Fix edge cases without deleting the audit trail.
Export the ledger
Give treasurers a clean record for reconciliation.
Currency and payment instructions
Switch the fine currency and tell players exactly how the club wants fines settled.
Fine tracking FAQ
The practical questions clubs ask before turning fines into a real workflow.
Can clubs customize what counts as a fine?
Yes. Clubs can configure rules for missed training, missed matches, late arrivals, no RSVPs, late RSVPs, low attendance, consecutive misses, and custom penalty types.
Does every rule have to create a money fine?
No. A rule can create a fine, warning, duty, physical penalty, suspension, points deduction, or custom penalty depending on how the club runs discipline.
Can the currency be changed?
Yes. Money fines can use the club's chosen currency, so the page can show GBP, EUR, USD, or the currency the club actually collects in.
Can staff stop a fine before it is applied?
Yes. Rules can be set for manual review, and staff can adjust, waive, complete, or review appeals after a penalty is created.
Can players see why they were fined?
Yes. Player penalty views show the assigned penalty, status, amount, payment instructions where configured, and the route to appeal when appeals are enabled.
