Short on players? Create an open match with day, time and venue, and let league members sign up. Once all four are in, turn it into a match.
Available for freeAn open match is a call with no fixed pairs: you propose when and where, and others sign up until the spots fill.
Go to the Open → New open match tab. Pick date, time and venue and publish it to the league.
Any league member can sign up or drop out while spots remain; everyone sees who's in. If the creator drops out, the call passes to another sign-up; if no one's left, it's cancelled.
Once all 4 are in, the open match closes and moves to your history as a match pending its result: score it live (phone or watch) or log the result by hand.
If you're not 4 at least 1 hour before the set time, the open match is cancelled automatically and we notify those signed up — so no one shows up at the court for nothing.
Members are notified when an open match is published in their league. And once formed, reminders arrive 24 h and 2 h before so nobody misses it.
Once played, it counts toward ELO and rankings exactly like any other match in the league.
Open matches are the quick way to fill a court without organising anything in the WhatsApp group: post it, let people sign up, and play.
If the call comes from a poll with more people interested than spots, the extras go on a waitlist and join automatically if someone drops out.
