# Status reference

> Every state a player, tryout, trial, or lineup can be in.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Player">
    A player's **tier** says where they sit on the ladder. Their **status** says
    how they're doing.

    | Status           | Meaning                        | In lineups?     |
    | ---------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------- |
    | Active           | Playing.                       | Yes             |
    | Trial            | On a trial with a review date. | Yes             |
    | Substitute       | Available to fill in.          | Yes, as a sub   |
    | Benched          | On the roster, not playing.    | Yes, if you ask |
    | Leave of absence | Away.                          | Never suggested |
    | Inactive         | Dormant, still on the books.   | Never suggested |
    | Suspended        | Barred.                        | Refused         |
    | Released         | Off the roster.                | Refused         |

    <Note>
      Released keeps the profile and the full history. It removes the membership,
      not the person's record.

  <Tab title="Tryout">
    | Status              | Meaning                        |
    | ------------------- | ------------------------------ |
    | Applied             | Submitted, not yet looked at.  |
    | Screening           | Being read through.            |
    | Approved for tryout | Cleared to actually try out.   |
    | Scheduled           | A time is set.                 |
    | In evaluation       | At least one score is in.      |
    | Passed              | Moved onto the trial tier.     |
    | Waitlisted          | Good, but no room right now.   |
    | Failed              | Declined.                      |
    | Withdrawn           | They pulled out.               |
    | Expired             | Went stale without a decision. |

    <Tip>
      Recording a score moves an application straight to **in evaluation**, even
      if the earlier admin steps were skipped. Scoring someone is proof the
      tryout happened.
    </Tip>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Trial">
    | Status       | Meaning                                              |
    | ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
    | Active trial | Running. Review date in the future.                  |
    | Review due   | The date has arrived. Staff have been reminded once. |
    | Extended     | Review pushed out.                                   |
    | Passed       | Promoted to the destination tier.                    |
    | Failed       | Trial ended.                                         |
    | Withdrawn    | They stepped away.                                   |

    <Warning>
      **Review due** is a prompt, not an outcome. Nothing changes until somebody
      runs `/tryout trial`.
    </Warning>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Lineup">
    | Status    | Meaning                                       |
    | --------- | --------------------------------------------- |
    | Draft     | Being built. Add and remove freely.           |
    | Confirmed | Locked in. Slots marked confirmed.            |
    | Played    | Finished and frozen. Feeds substitute counts. |
    | Cancelled | Called off. Counts toward nothing.            |

    And per slot:

    | Slot status | Meaning                            |
    | ----------- | ---------------------------------- |
    | Proposed    | Pencilled in.                      |
    | Confirmed   | Set, once the lineup is confirmed. |
    | Declined    | They said no.                      |
    | Played      | They played.                       |
    | No-show     | They didn't turn up.               |

    <Note>
      A **played** lineup can't be edited. That's deliberate — the record of who
      played is worth more than the convenience of tweaking it after the fact.
