Find your match

A real opponent and a real court — this week.

No swipe decks, no dead group chats. Invitations carry a time, a play type, a rating window, and a court — you just show up and play.

Open invitations

Post the day, time, and play type you want in any of your zones. Players nearby send a request — you pick who you play.

Direct invites

Already know your rival? Skip the open board and send the invitation straight to a friend.

Your level, not roulette

Invitations carry a rating window, so the requests you get comes from players whose game actually matches yours.

Auto-accept booking

Flip on auto-accept and the first responder who fits your zone, court, and rating window is booked on the spot — no back-and-forth.

A court on every match

Matches book with a court attached, picked from the directory in your zip code. Nobody plays “we'll figure out where later.”

Train with someone stronger

Play With Pro is paid hitting with a higher-rated local player — an affordable way to get real reps between matches. The Pro sets the hourly rate. Not a lesson: no curriculum, just rallies, pace, and match play.

Climb the ladder

Every rated match moves your number.

Bring your NTRP, UTR, DUPR, USATT, or USCF/FIDE rating to start near your level — then it is earned on court, and everyone can see where they stand.

A rating on a scale you know

On a scale shaped like the rating systems you already know — 1.0–16.5 for tennis (UTR-shaped), 2.0–8.0 for pickleball (DUPR-shaped), 100–3000 for table tennis (USATT-shaped), 100–3000 for chess, badminton, padel, squash, pop tennis, cornhole, Spikeball, bocce, checkers, Scrabble and pool (Elo-shaped) — so it means something the day you get it. You carry one per zone and per play type — singles and doubles move separately — and every rated result you report updates it.

Your class, A to F

A class letter within your age and gender group tells you at a glance where you stand among your true peers — and gives you the next letter to chase.

Zone rankings

Every zone runs its own ranking table. Own your neighborhood ladder first — then widen out and take on the metro.

Stars of the Period

A live recognition race running right now. Play, win, and earn your star before the period resets.

Hall of Champions

Win a tournament and your name goes up in the public Hall of Champions — permanently.

Open tournaments

Singles and doubles draws with age divisions, open for registration in your zones — brackets, scheduling, and a champion at the end. Prefer your own schedule? Flex Tournaments let you set each match time with your opponent. Your first Flex Tournament is free. No subscription needed.

Doubles teams

Team up with a partner — they confirm the pairing, so no ghost teams — and compete as a unit. Your team carries its own rating and history.

Group sessions

Host a group hit or join one nearby. The host approves who's in, a court can be offered up front, and the group gets its own discussion board.

Private clubs

Members-only club zones run by local pros — with a ladder, a community board, and a crowd that knows your name.
