The host problem

Running the Game Should Not Mean Chasing Everyone

Scattered group texts

One complete Run listing

Uncertain attendance

Capacity and participation controls

Players do not know what to expect

Clear skill, price, location, time, and rules

Hard to build consistency

Recurring Runs and community history

Payment friction

Approved in-app payment tools when production payments are active

Host tools

Everything Players Need to Understand Your Run

These are the controls a Host sets when publishing a Run.

  • Run date and time
  • Venue and location
  • Capacity
  • Skill guidance
  • Price
  • Open participation
  • Request to Join
  • Invite Only
  • Private discoverability controls
  • Participant communication
  • Spectator settings where available

Join mode and discoverability are separate settings. Invite Only controls who can RSVP; a Private Run controls who can discover the Run at all.

Payment and payout functions become available when production payments are active. We do not advertise a function as live before it is live in the apps.

Hosting tiers

Start the Run. Build the Community.

Basic hosting

Publishing and running a Run stays accessible. Set the court, time, format, capacity, skill guidance and admission, then manage your roster from your phone.

Host Pro

An optional paid layer for eligible enhanced tools, analytics, sponsorship, advertising, streaming monetization, and other advanced capabilities as they become available. Nothing here is a revenue promise.
