The 12:00 slot and the 21:00 slot stay empty: they cannot find four players ready at the same time. Open them up as public matches: the community fills the places, everyone pays their share, and you take payment for a court that would have stayed empty.
The match directory, in one place for every player — these cards are real matches published on SportFinder.
One click, not a second tool
A public match is a booking still to complete
No separate matchmaking software, no double entry: a public match is a booking with places left in it. The club can launch matches to fill its slots, and any booking turns into an open match from the same screen.
Published once, visible everywhere: the match goes straight into the directory players browse to find their next game.
A link that always works: sharing a match by link works even without an account and even for a private match — a quiet slot becomes a message to paste into the club’s WhatsApp group.
The court’s revenue is not diluted: the court price is the same for two players or four; it is the share per player that adjusts, never your takings.
The right player, at the right level
You stay in control of who joins
A match only fills well if the players recognise themselves in it. You set the markers, the system does the sorting.
Level, comparable between clubs
You set a level range, and the players’ search respects it. Each club keeps its own scale: equivalences link it to a neighbouring club’s, a federation’s or another country’s, in both directions.
Format and gender as markers
The organiser states the format and, if they wish, the gender of the match — mixed by default. Markers on display, so the right players end up on the right court.
You approve, or not
Two settings, the club’s choice: either a player joins and pays straight away, or every request goes through the organiser, who accepts or declines. Depending on whether you prefer speed or control.

Every country counts differently: Belgium in P levels, France in named tiers, Spain in numbers. A club keeps its own — the equivalences link them in both directions, with no double entry, and a player finds matches at their level even when it is expressed on another scale.
These markers are set club by club — like everything else. Set-ups as particular as those of the Centre Adeps La Mosane or the CTC La Calamine already run on this same engine.
The demonstration
Matchmaking in full swing
A booking published as a match, a request, an acceptance, a share paid: here is the whole journey, replayed screen by screen in the player app — notifications included.
The request arrives as a notification: the organiser accepts or declines from their phone, without going through you.
Payment is what confirms: the accepted player pays their share online, and their place is secured.
The club does nothing: the whole journey plays out between the players — the court, meanwhile, fills up.
1 The match is published The booking becomes a public match — and the court is only held for a few hours, schedule below.
2 Visible in the directory 3 places out of 4, €7.50 a share: the card players browse when looking for their next match.
3 A player asks to join The organiser has turned on approval: you ask to take part, you do not pay yet.
4 The organiser is notified The request arrives as a notification, with the match and the slot.
5 They accept — or not The accepted player joins the list, awaiting payment. Public match, approval: it is set match by match.
6 The player is accepted The notification invites them to confirm: all that is left is to pay their share.
7 They pay their share Their share — or more, if they are covering other players. Payment is what confirms the place.
8 The match fills up Two shares paid, two places still open in the directory: the filling carries on by itself.
A real journey through the app, replayed end to end on a client club: Sacha publishes, Bruno joins — demonstration personas, not real players.
Holding the court
The court is held for just as long as it needs
The classic complaint about matchmaking, from the manager’s side: a court tied up while a team looks for players, with nobody having paid. We tackled it head on. The court is held for as long as it takes to complete the team, then released — and that time shortens as the slot gets closer.
Quiet at the start: when the match opens, the place is held for a few minutes, silently — no text message sent — while the players gather.
Held for real from the first payment: one paid share turns the slot into a firm booking.
No sale lost to timing: a released slot blocks itself again automatically as soon as a share is paid later.
Default hold time, by how far ahead the slot is

More than 5 days ahead48 h
More than 3 days ahead24 h
More than 2 days ahead8 h
More than 24 hours ahead4 h
More than 8 hours ahead2 h
Less than 8 hours aheadno hold
The further away the slot, the more time is left to complete the match; under eight hours, nothing is held any more. Default values, adjustable for your club.
When two bookings compete for one slot
First to pay, first served
Opening a slot to several teams means accepting that they may go for it at the same time. The system settles it on its own, and cleanly.
01Whoever confirms first keeps the courtpayment is what counts, not the order of arrival
02The conflicting booking is refunded automaticallyincluding when several courts share the same surface
03Everyone is toldthe organiser and their partners receive the notification, with no action on your part
Never a slot sold twice to untangle by hand.
A last-minute drop-out
A place that frees up reopens
A player can no longer make it? Their place goes back to “to be replaced” and becomes available to someone else. The match stays full, the court stays filled, and nobody has to chase a refund.
The player who leaves is not penalised: their share comes back to them automatically as soon as a replacement takes over.
The open place is immediately visible in the match directory, ready to be taken.
The rules for taking a place are clear: a place given up before payment reopens to everyone; once the game is committed and paid for, it is locked to avoid last-minute back-and-forth.
The right question
A quiet slot filled is revenue that arrives
The slot engine opens the right hours — the ones that keep the rest of the day sellable. Matchmaking fills them: it brings players to the slots nobody was booking, without tying up your courts for nothing. How much is that worth at your club? We work it out in the demo, on your data — not with a percentage lifted from a brochure.
For players, it is 0% in fees: no service fee, no cancellation fee when they leave an open match. For the club, our commission exists, it is degressive and published — which puts us exactly on the same side as you: we only earn when your courts fill up.
It is also what drives us: getting more people playing, more often. Read our mission.
Frequently asked questions
Public matches and filling slots
Do I need a separate tool to organise public matches?
No. A public match is a booking like any other, with places still to fill: you publish it from the same back office, and it appears straight away in the match directory players browse. No double entry, no tool to keep in sync.
How do players find a match at their level?
You set a level range on the match, and the players’ search filter respects it. Each club keeps its own scale: a system of equivalences makes it comparable with a neighbouring club’s, a federation’s or another country’s — Belgium, France and Spain each have their own default scale, linked in both directions, with no double entry.
Does the court stay blocked while players are being found?
No, and that is precisely the sensitive point we dealt with. The court is only held for as long as it takes to complete the team: the time adjusts automatically as the date gets closer, and under eight hours before the slot it is not held at all. These durations are default values, adjustable for your club.
What happens if two bookings go for the same slot?
The first to confirm and pay keeps the court; the conflicting booking is refunded automatically, and the player and their partners are told. You never end up with a slot sold twice to sort out by hand.
A player drops out: do I lose the place?
No. The place reopens for a replacement, and the player who leaves is not penalised: their share comes back to them automatically. The replacement takes over, and the court stays filled.
Do you take a commission on public matches?
A share paid online is an online sale: it falls under our degressive club-side commission, bank fees included, like any standard booking. The rates are published on our pricing page. For players, on the other hand, it is 0%: no service fee, no cancellation fee.
