The free tool for sports teams to fairly assign squad numbers. Players submit preferences, you rank them by priority — the system handles the rest.
Three steps. No spreadsheets. No arguments.
You share an invite link. Players pick up to 10 numbers in preference order and any they want to avoid. Done in under 2 minutes on mobile.
Drag and drop players into your ranking — captain first, then vice captain, and so on. This resolves conflicts when two players want the same number.
One click to run the allocation. Every player gets the best available number from their list. Returning players keep their number by default. Publish a shareable roster in seconds.
Every season it's the same story. The group chat erupts. Six players want #7. The captain tries to manage it manually across 40 messages. Someone doesn't get their first choice and complains for a month.
Squad number allocation is genuinely difficult because it's a constraint satisfaction problem — unique numbers, conflicting preferences, and seniority to factor in. Doing it manually in a spreadsheet takes an hour and still feels arbitrary to whoever loses out.
VARSA Numbers solves this in minutes. Players submit their preferences before they know who else wants what. You set the priority order. The system assigns numbers transparently, with a written explanation for each player so there are no arguments.
