Club nights and leagues are great – but many players want extra hitting sessions during the week. The problem? Finding a partner of similar level at a time that works is hard. Group chats fill with unanswered "anyone free?" posts, and courts stay empty.
OnCourtMatch solves this with **Play Me match requests** – a simple, automated way for players to post availability and get matched instantly with compatible partners. The result: more informal matches, higher court bookings, and much happier members.
Why Players Struggle to Find Matches
Common barriers:
- No easy way to see who’s free
- Level mismatch (playing too strong/weak)
- Messages get buried in group chats
- No confirmation or reminders
Empty mid-week courts mean lost revenue and frustrated members who eventually leave for other clubs or stop playing.
How Play Me Requests Work
- Player posts availability: day, time slot, preferred level
- Other players can add themselves to the match
- Both get instant notification: "Match found! You and Alex are on Court 4 at 7 pm"
