Built for the whole night
Pick your side of the net.
Fair rotation, planned — not guessed.
Whole-queue planning across every court at once, winners-stay-on, auto-start, and a board that lays out the whole night's rotation in fours — so nobody's guessing who's up next, including you.
- One-tap start — courts fill themselves from the plan
- Rearrange by hand — reshape the rotation yourself, and it sticks
- Served in order — fewest games first, and nobody drives home having played nothing
- Payment tracking — who paid, who owes, one nudge
Skill-based matching that never fakes it.
Seven ranks mapped to DUPR/UTPR bands, five pips per rank, and a skill-range control from tight to any mix — when the board stretches the range to keep someone in the night, it says so on its face.
- Real record — games, win rate, streak, and what each night did to your rating
- Local ladders — leaderboards by province and town
- Find open play — browse nearby, join in a tap
Your club has a home.
A club or venue profile, a court directory with hours and rates, and a feed for what's actually happening tonight — so regulars stop asking in the group chat.
- Post in three steps — preview it first, edit it after, cap included
- Members & feed — notices land where players look
- Every night remembered — played nights stay on the page, each with its recap
Where you stand
Every game earns you a medal.
Every player carries a medal. It's the rank they're on, and how far through it they've climbed.
- Seven ranks, five pips each — the same ladder shown throughout the app
- Top 100 everywhere — the national board
- Top 100 in your province and your town — read straight off where you said you play
King of the court
One court plays for the crown.
Flag any court as tonight's challenger court. Pairs join its line together — from the desk or their own phone — winners stay on to defend, and the regular rotation plans the other courts around it.
- Pairs, never split — you enter together, and a loss sends you to the back of the line, not out of the running
- Short by design — first to 9 points takes it, and 9–8 is a legal final
- Two roads to the crown — a straight run, or wins counted all night; the host picks
Challenger court
Court 4 · Crown at 7 wins
Everything a real night needs.
Whole-queue planning
Every court planned together, not one game at a time — the board lays out the whole rotation in fours, and you can rearrange it by hand.
Skill-range control
Four settings, tight to any mix, decide how wide a game may be. When the board stretches the range to keep someone playing, it says so.
Offline-first sync
The host device owns the queue. Results land exactly once when the connection comes back.
Court fee tracking
Save your club's payment details once and reuse them every night. Mark who paid, nudge the stragglers — unpaid places free themselves up.
Find open play nearby
Browse clubs, courts, and events. Join in a tap, or land on the waitlist.
Ratings that update themselves
Ranks and pips move when the night closes — no spreadsheets, no arguing.
A board anyone can watch
Tonight's board is live on the event page — your place in line, your games so far, and no account needed to look.
Night recaps
Close the night and it becomes a page worth sharing — the games, the standings, and what the night did to each rating.
Walk-ups welcome
A guest is added at the desk in seconds, and requests to join land right at the top — even a name typed wrong is fixed without losing their place.
How it works
Three steps, one night.
Post a session
A club or venue posts open play in minutes — courts, times, and who it's for.

Browse, join, or land on the waitlist. No account needed to watch the board.
The host runs the queue
Everyone rotates fairly, ratings update on their own, and the night closes into a recap worth sharing.

Signing up, finding open play, starting a club and posting a session — the real app, recorded in one take. Three more clips carry it through running the night from the desk and reading the recap the morning after.
