sorted automatically.

The app proposes the next four for each court — whoever has played least and waited longest, with partners you haven't had yet. Start them, or pick your own four. Nobody gets left waiting while others play on.

Rotations that actually feel fair.

Whoever has played least and waited longest goes on next — never overridden, so nobody gets stranded. Partner and opponent history break the ties, so you're not stuck with the same three people all night.

Tap the winning team or enter scores to keep a record of the day. Set skill levels and the app pairs stronger players with weaker ones, so each game is a closer contest.

Using the app

Everything you'll touch on the night.

The same guide is inside every game page, so you don't have to remember any of it.

How it works

Everyone sits in one queue, and each court runs at its own pace. There are no rounds, so court 1 can be on its fifth game while court 2 is on its second.

  • Who plays next The app picks whoever has played least and waited longest.

  • You stay in control Every suggestion can be overridden before it starts.

FAQ

Common questions

No. You can create a game page and start adding players immediately — no sign-up, no email, no password. Just share the link with your group.

It works like a peg board rather than fixed rounds. Everyone sits in one queue, and each court runs at its own pace — when a game finishes, only those four players rejoin the queue. Whoever has played least goes on next; between players with the same number of games, the longest wait wins, and the app then favours pairings you haven't had yet. You see the proposed four before starting a court, and can pick a different four whenever you want.

Currently MetroBadminton Play is designed for doubles play, the most common format at casual sessions. Singles and mixed-format support is on our roadmap.

Add or remove players at any time — nothing needs restarting. A late arrival slots into the queue level with everyone else rather than jumping to the front, and anyone sitting out for a while can be put on a break so they're skipped until they're back.

There's no hard limit. The tool works best with 2-8 courts and up to around 30 players — which covers the vast majority of casual sessions.

Only the session organiser needs to manage the page. Players can open the link to check court assignments and scores, but it's entirely optional — you can just call out the courts.

Game pages are stored so anyone with the link can access them. We don't collect personal information beyond what you type into the session (player names and scores).

Right now each session gets its own page. We're working on a recurring session feature so you can carry over your player list each week.
