# What are sub lists?

> How curlers flag themselves as available to fill in for a league, and where the club and its members see the resulting list.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Sub lists are part of the product for every club — there is no feature to enable. Whether your screens say **Subs** or **Spares** follows the **Stand-in curlers** choice under **Settings → Club Settings → Club terminology**.
  * A league only has a sub list when its **Spares list** switch is on in the league editor ("Let curlers with a profile flag themselves as available to spare."). In the classic League Edit form the same switch is **Show on Spare/Sub List**.
  * Any signed-in account can read a league's sub list on your public site, including name, email and phone. Signed-out visitors see "Sign in to view the \{league} sub list."
  * Members always see the new-look pages. In the classic view (staff only) the admin **Sub Listing** screen reproduces CCM's.
</Note>

A sub list is one row per league per curler: whether they are **available**, up to two ranked preferred positions, and a comment. Curlers usually add themselves; staff and the league's convenor can also add a curler who phoned in, or edit a row — see [How do I add or edit a curler on a league's sub list?](/club/spares-and-free-agents/how-do-i-add-or-edit-a-curler-on-a-leagues-sub-list).

**How a curler joins.** On the league's public page, under **Available to sub?**, they click **Join the sub list** (or **Add another curler** for a second profile). The **Join the sub list** dialog asks for **Curler**, **Preferred position**, **Second choice** (or **No preference**) and **Notes (optional)**. Each row then shows either "Showing on the sub list" or "Hidden from the sub list — your positions are kept", with an **Edit** button to change the positions and notes whether or not they are available right now. Every word in the panel, including its messages, follows your club terminology, so a club that says "spare" sees **Available to spare?** and **Join the spare list**.

**Going away for a while.** On **My Subbing Availability** (`/account/sparing`) a curler switches a league off without losing their positions and comment, edits a row with **Edit**, and joins more leagues from **Other leagues taking subs** with **Join**. Only available rows appear on the public list.

**Where members find subs.** The public **Sub Lists** page (`/spares`) lists every active league with the switch on and, for signed-in accounts, the name, email, phone, positions and comment of each available sub, with an **Update your subbing availability** link at the bottom.
