Creating your account

Download the app from the App Store or Google Play, then follow these five steps to get fully set up.

1

Open the app & tap Get Started

When you first launch the app you see the branded splash screen. The app quietly checks for any over-the-air updates before the button becomes active — this usually takes under a second.

2

Create your account

Tap the Create Account tab. Enter your email address and a password (at least 8 characters, including one number and one special character). Then tap Create Account.

Already have an account? Tap Sign In instead. Forgotten your password? Tap Forgot Password? — a 6-digit reset code is sent to your email.

3

Verify your email

A 6-digit code is sent to the email you registered with. Enter it on the verification screen. Tap Resend Code if it doesn't arrive within a minute.

Email verification is required before you can join or post any games.
4

Set up your profile

Fill in your details on the profile setup screen:

5

Review and accept the Terms of Service on the next screen. Once accepted, you land on the Explore tab and the app is ready to use.

Getting around the app

The bottom tab bar gives you access to every part of the app. The central + button is how you post a game or start a tournament.

Player playbook

Everything you need to find, join, and participate in games — from your first search to post-game ratings.

Finding games

Open the Explore tab. Games are listed sorted by proximity and scheduled time. Tap any sport chip along the top to filter — tap it again to clear.

Each game card shows the sport, location, date and time, host reputation, spots filled vs. total (e.g. 5 / 10 players), and whether the venue has field lights. Tap any card to open the full Game Detail page.

Supported sports:

Cricket Soccer Softball Kickball Volleyball Dodgeball Basketball Flag Football Pickleball Cornhole Tennis Badminton Golf Table Tennis Bowling Baseball Squash + Other

Joining a game

On the Game Detail page, tap I'm In! to claim your spot. Your place is confirmed instantly — a confetti animation and green "You're in!" banner appear, and a confirmation email with the game details is sent to your registered address.

If the game fills up the instant before your tap, a red banner appears with the reason (e.g. "Match is full"). No action needed — join the waitlist or find another game.

Leaving a game

Tap Leave Game on the Game Detail page. A confirmation dialog appears before the leave is processed. Your spot is freed immediately and, if anyone is on the waitlist, the first person in line is automatically promoted.

Waitlist — when a game is full

When all spots are taken the join button changes to Join Wishlist. Tap it to take a numbered position in the queue.

SituationButton shown
Game has open spots I'm In!
Game is full, not on waitlist Join Wishlist
Game is full, you are on waitlist On Wishlist (#N) — Tap to Leave

The #N in the button is your position in the queue. When a confirmed participant leaves, the system automatically moves the #1 waitlist person into the confirmed list. You will receive an in-app notification and a confirmation email — no action needed on your part.

Notifications & reminders

Go to Profile → Settings → Notifications to choose what you hear about:

ToggleWhat it controls
New Games Alerts when games matching your sports are posted near you
Ratings & MVPs Reminders to rate the host after games you attended
Match Updates Changes to games you have joined or hosted (edits, cancellations)

When New Games is on, a Sports Alerts section appears below it so you can enable or disable alerts per individual sport. Once you have joined a game, a Remind Me toggle also appears on that game's detail page.

In-game chat

Every game has a live chat at the bottom of its detail page. Only confirmed participants and the host can send messages — use it to coordinate parking, what to bring, rule clarifications, or last-minute changes.

Ratings & reputation

After a game you attended you will be prompted to rate the host and other players. Ratings build each player's public reputation score, visible on their profile and inside game detail pages. The MVPs tab shows the weekly leaderboard across all sports.

Joining a tournament

Tournament registration is team-based, not individual. Open a tournament on the Explore tab and tap Register Team. Fill in:

  • Team Name — 2 to 60 characters
  • Captain Email — used for tournament communications
  • Captain Name & Phone
  • Division — Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced / Open (All Levels)
  • Payment Status — self-report Paid or Not Paid if an entry fee was set

After registering, the team captain can add players to the roster from the Tournament Detail page. Entry fees are collected offline — the app does not process payments, but the host's payment instructions are shown on the registration form.

Live scoring during a tournament? Hosts use a PIN system to unlock scoring for each fixture. Ask your tournament host for the League PIN (group stage) or Knockout PIN (bracket). Full details are in the Scoring & Operations Guide.

Host playbook

Any signed-in user can host — there is no special host account. Tap the + tab to get started.

Posting a game

Tap +Host a Game to open the Post a Game form.

FieldDefaultNotes
Sport Choose from 17 sports or select Other to type a custom name.
Location Start typing an address or venue name — select from the autocomplete list to pin exact coordinates.
Date & Time Must be a future date and time.
Players Needed 8 Use the +/− stepper. Minimum 2, maximum 50.
Description / Notes Free text for rules, cost per player, parking, what to bring, etc.
Field Lights Off Toggle on if the venue has lights for evening play.
Charging a fee? There is no payment field. Use the Description to communicate any costs, e.g.: "Venue rental is $5 per player, collected on the day."

After you post

  • You are redirected to Explore with a success confirmation.
  • Your game is immediately visible — no approval delay.
  • Players in your state who follow your sport are notified automatically by email and push notification.
  • Your game appears on your My Games tab straight away.

Editing a game

Open the game from My Games and tap Edit. All fields are editable: sport, location, date/time, number of spots, description, and field lights.

Every confirmed participant who has Match Updates notifications enabled receives an in-app notification when you save changes. You cannot set the scheduled time to a past date.

Cancelling or deleting a game

You have two options:

  1. Soft cancel (recommended) — sets the game to Cancelled without deleting the record. You must pick a reason: Weather / Rain, Not enough players, Venue unavailable, Host unavailable, or Other. Participants with Match Updates enabled are notified in-app.
  2. Hard delete — permanently removes the game and all associated data. Each participant receives an in-app notification: "The [Sport] game has been cancelled by the host." This action cannot be undone.

Managing the waitlist

Open the game's Players tab to see confirmed participants and the waitlist, sorted by queue position. You do not need to manually promote anyone — when a confirmed participant leaves, the #1 waitlist person is automatically moved up, notified, and emailed.

Hosting a tournament

Tap +Host a Tournament. Tournaments have more fields than casual games:

FieldNotes
Tournament TitleRequired. Up to 80 characters.

After creation, three PINs are generated automatically: a 4-digit League PIN, a 4-digit Knockout PIN, and a 6-digit Emergency PIN. You can also add up to 3 co-hosts to help manage scoring and view PINs.

Full tournament operations — PIN management, roster confirmation, volleyball & pickleball scoring rules, and auto-lock — are covered in the Scoring & Operations Guide.

Common questions

Yes. Any signed-in user can tap + to post a game or tournament. There is no separate host role — the person who creates an event becomes its host automatically for that event.

The Join Wishlist button appears instead of I'm In!. Tap it to join the queue. You are automatically moved into the confirmed list and emailed when a spot opens — no further action needed.
