Rink Booking

Simple, real-time rink management

Real-time rink availability visible at a glance
Book rinks in just a few clicks from any device
Members can manage and amend their own bookings with ease
Bulk-book rinks for tournaments and events (PBAs, OSCs, etc.)

Conflict prevention — no double-booking of rinks
Instant notifications when bookings are approved or rejected

Standout Feature

Bulk booking lets club officials reserve multiple rinks in one go for tournaments and competitions e.g. PBA qualifiers or OSC events — saving significant admin time.

Matches & Selection

Intelligent match management from start to finish

Create matches from pre-built templates that auto-configure the correct rink formats
Auto-book rinks for a match in a single click
Generate print-ready scorecards instantly
Member availability visible during the selection process

Standout Feature

Automatic Member Notifications

Selected members are automatically notified by Email, SMS, or in-app notification — and can confirm or decline their availability in a single click. No chasing, no phone calls.

Standout Feature

Live Scoring — Generated Automatically

A live scoring page is automatically created the moment a match selection is published, accessible to all members in real time. When a match is in progress, a banner appears at the top of the app — clicking it takes members straight to the live scores.

League Management

End-to-end internal league administration

Create and manage leagues in just a few clicks
Blackout dates to exclude periods like the Christmas break
Fixtures automatically generated and spread evenly across rinks
Rinks auto-booked for the entire season at creation
Print-ready scorecards generated for every fixture
Entering results instantly updates the live league table

Standout Feature

Captain & Player Views — team captains can manage rosters, auto-generate availability-aware rotas, and fine-tune selections with simple tick-box controls. Players can flag unavailable dates, view upcoming fixtures with full details (date, opponents, rink, who's playing), and see past results — all within their own personalised view.

Competitions

Knockout and round robin tournaments made simple

Create and manage knockout and round robin competitions
Progress winners to the next round with a single click
Players can view their opponent's nominated contact details directly from the draw
Group stages with configurable qualifiers per group for round robin formats
Automatic bracket and fixture generation

Member Management

A complete picture of your club membership

Detailed player profiles: name, contact details, locker numbers, and membership status
Special access roles: Live Scorer, League Admin, and Selector — assignable per member
Bulk member upload for quick onboarding of an entire club's membership
Members can belong to more than one club simultaneously
Individual notification preferences — members control how they receive updates
Full audit trail of admin actions across the platform

Standout Feature

Role-based access control lets you delegate responsibilities safely — give selectors access to match management, league admins access to league tools, and live scorers access to scoring — without granting full admin rights.
