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:

  1. No easy way to see who’s free
  2. Level mismatch (playing too strong/weak)
  3. Messages get buried in group chats
  4. 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

  1. Player posts availability: day, time slot, preferred level
  2. Other players can add themselves to the match
  3. Both get instant notification: "Match found! You and Alex are on Court 4 at 7 pm"

Benefits for Clubs & Players

For Clubs

  1. More court bookings: mid-week slots fill up
  2. Higher revenue: extra hours booked (many clubs see 30–50% increase)
  3. Better retention: players play more often → renew more

For Players

  1. Easy to find games
  2. Guaranteed similar level
  3. Instant confirmation
  4. More fun, less frustration

Best Practices for Play Me Success

  1. Encourage players to use it after club nights
  2. Promote in welcome emails and newsletters
  3. Offer incentives (free court hour for 5 matches booked)
  4. Monitor usage and adjust level filters if needed
