Running group games

For group admins and mods: post a game for your group, repeat it weekly, give members first pick or make it members only, approve join requests and pin a post.

  1. 1. Host a game

    • Only a group's admins and mods can post its games.
    • Open the group's Games tab and tap Host a game. The form opens with your group already picked.
    • Every member gets a notification when the game is posted.
    Admins and mods post games from the Games tab.
  2. 2. Where and when

    • At a court on OpenCourt, book the hours first, then pick the court and those hours.
    • At a park or barangay court, choose Other court, enter its name and address, and drop the map pin so players can find it.
    • Away from a bookable court, Repeat weekly posts the same game for up to 12 weeks.
    Away from a bookable court, a game can repeat weekly.
  3. 3. Who can join

    • Everyone: anyone can take a spot.
    • Members first: members get first pick. Choose when it opens to everyone, from 12 hours to 3 days before. Others join the waitlist until then.
    • Members only: only members can take a spot.
    • The rest of the form works like any open play. See Joining open play.
    Choose who can take a spot, and when.
  4. 4. Approve new members

    • In a group that needs approval, requests wait on the Members tab with each person's answers.
    • Tap Approve or Decline. They get an email either way.
    • From a member's menu you can make them a mod, remove them or ban them. Only the admin can add or remove mods.
    Read the answers, then approve or decline.
  5. 5. Pin a post and share an invite

    • Pin a post on the Discussion tab, like a welcome note or the house rules. It shows first on the group's page.
    • Tap Invite for a link that lets people join straight away, even when joining needs approval. Make a new link to stop the old one working.
    • Admins edit the group's name, cover, rules and join questions from Edit.
    Pin a post so everyone sees it first.
