# How do I set my subbing availability?

> Joining a league's sub list with the positions you throw, editing your positions, pausing it while you are away, and leaving it.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * You join a sub list on the league's own page, under **Available to sub?**, or from **Other leagues taking subs** on **My Subbing Availability**, choosing a preferred position, a second choice and a note.
  * **Edit** changes your positions and note at any time, even while you are marked not available.
  * **My Subbing Availability** lists every league you have joined, with an on/off switch. Only curlers switched on appear on the public **Sub Lists**; switching off keeps your positions and comments.
  * Your name, email and phone from your profile are shown to signed-in members looking for a sub.
  * Your club may call this **Sparing** / **Spare** instead of **Subbing** / **Sub**. Every label on this page, including the league-page panel, follows your club's word.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Join from the league page">
    Open the league from your club's **Leagues** page (**Teams, Schedules, Standings** on **My Account**). Under **Available to sub?**, choose **Join the sub list**. Pick the **Curler**, a **Preferred position** and a **Second choice** (each can be **No preference**), add **Notes (optional)** and choose **Join**. You see **You're on the sub list**. At a club that says "spare", these read **Available to spare?**, **Join the spare list** and **You're on the spare list**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pause or remove">
    Go to **My Account** and choose **Subbing** (address `/account/sparing`); the page is titled **My Subbing Availability**. Each league has a switch — off marks you **not available** and takes you off the live sub lists without losing your positions — and a **Remove** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change your positions or note">
    Choose **Edit** on the league's row, on **My Subbing Availability** or under **Available to sub?** on the league page. The **Your sub preferences** dialog lets you change the **Preferred position**, **Second choice** and **Notes (optional)**; choose **Save** and you see **Your sub preferences are saved**. Your availability stays as it was, so you can set your positions ahead of time while you are still switched off.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The league page shows the same **Edit**, switch and **Remove** button for each of your curlers, and **Add another curler** when someone else on your account can still join.

**Other leagues taking subs.** Below your leagues, **My Subbing Availability** lists every other league at the club that takes subs and that none of your curlers has joined yet, each with **Join**. **Join** opens the same form as the league page, so you can put yourself on a list without finding the league first.

If you are not on any list yet, **My Subbing Availability** says *You're not on any sub list yet. Open a league page to add yourself and pick the positions you throw.* Its **Browse leagues** button opens the club's **Leagues** page.
