racket
rumble

A web & mobile app running on your device to easily create and manage your own sport leagues.

What does it do?

A league is a group of people participating in a competitive sport against eachother. A league has a ranking list, where the best players will be found at the top and the lesser players towards the bottom.

A league consists of multiple rounds, where a sub group of the group competes against each other. After the end of each round and depending on the results of the round, the league ranking will be updated. I can be updated manually (drag & drop), or it can be automated according to certain pre-defined rules.

Supports: Tennis, Badminton, Table Tennis, Padel, Squash, Pickeball, Racquetball.

Who is it for?

This app is for everyone running or participating in sport leagues. It's primarly been made for racket sports but there is no reason why it could not be used for other sports as well. Or even for teams by registering unique teams similar to individuals.

To start a league you need to register. But participants do not need to register, the whole league can be managed by the person starting the league. But participants can register, which will then make it possible for more people to manage the league. And allow people to sign up to rounds before a round starts.

League Management

A league can be run by a single manager on behalf of all users, or a manager can invite users to support invites and participation management.

A league can also have a mix of managed users (users who are not managing their own participation) and registered users.

Registered users can receive email notifications of league rounds, choose to sign up for individual round and receive round results.

Upcoming Features
  1. Match setup & scoring. Will set up matches for a given round, allowing match scoring and automatically generate the final round ranking.
  2. Doubles & team management. The system as is can be used for doubles. When registering, use your team name instead of personal name. Since emails have to be unique, if you also need a personal account, many email systems (Gmail..) allow you to add extra info your your email by appending a plus, e.g. first.last+teamname@gmail.com. This way you can use separate logins for personal and team accounts.
Round Management

Each round is managed as follows:

  1. Choose participants. Other participants or admins can select participants, or users can do it themselves. Admins can trigger email invitations to all league members.
  2. Confirm/change start ranking. The ranking from the last completed round will be used to rank participants. The ranking can be changed before round start.
  3. Play matches. The system does not yet handle match/group setup, but will in the future.
  4. Confirm/change end ranking. After matches are played, change the round ranking to confirm the match results.
  5. Update league ranking. After the round end ranking has been confirmed, the system will propose a new ranking if a rule set has been selected. Or the final ranking can be changed/modified as needed. When completed, the updated final ranking will be modified and displayed in the league page.

Why did you make this? We have tried many systems for running leagues. We wanted something flexible and simple, which would run great on the devices we have available when we play.
