Are there coach bonuses to win or just mentality to win?

On our team, nobody respond to the TeamSnap app. It’s not that the coach is unaware of the attendance and worried, we are full roaster and mostly every player shows up but coach will bring in the guest players every weekend. I do think it’s better to have everyone click the RSVP though.
