How does Coach Meister calculate fair rotation?

Coach Meister works out how much playing time each player should get, then builds a rotation plan to keep things as fair as possible across the team. You can adjust rotation intervals (like every 5, 10, or 15 minutes), and if something changes during the game - like a late arrival, an injury, or a player leaving early - the app automatically rebalances the remaining time.

Can I adjust substitutions during a match?

Yes. Coach Meister lets you make manual changes at any time. If something unexpected happens, the app adapts while still keeping playing time as fair as possible.
