AI-Powered Player Matching
Find the right opponent, the right time, and the right event — powered by machine learning that gets smarter the more you play.
Smart Player Matching
Multi-factor matching considers skill level, availability patterns, social connections, and proximity. Each suggestion comes with a score breakdown showing why you’re a good fit.
What the Algorithm Considers
Skill Compatibility
Matches players within a configurable skill range so games are competitive and evenly matched.
Availability Overlap
Learns when you typically play and finds opponents who play at the same times.
Social Connections
Prioritizes suggestions from players in your groups and friend network.
Geographic Proximity
Factors in distance with a configurable max range (default 25 miles).
Club Event Recommendations
For club managers who want data-driven decisions about their event calendar.
The system analyzes six months of your event history — registrations, check-ins, revenue, fill rates — and surfaces actionable recommendations.
- New event opportunities — High-performing sport, format, and time combinations that you don’t currently offer
- Time optimization — Low-fill events that would likely do better at different days or times based on player activity patterns
- Underutilized court slots — Gaps in your schedule where court availability is high but no events are running
- Pricing adjustments — Events that consistently over-fill or under-fill, suggesting the price point needs calibration
