Queued Clubs
The button turns green at 9:00 sharp.
A school padel club, a parent on their phone on a Saturday morning, a place given out fairly — by draw, by speed, or however your club decides. Set up a branded join code, run the games, and stop refereeing the group chat.

How it works
Two people, one Saturday morning.
The organiser sets it up once a term. The parent does the whole thing from a phone, standing in the kitchen.
For the organiser
- 01
Create your club
Name, school, sport, your colours and logo, and a payment link if you take one. Four or five fields, done in one sitting.
- 02
Get your code & QR
A six-character code — PADL7K, say — and a poster to print or drop in the parents' WhatsApp group.
- 03
Set the games
One-off, or recurring — Saturday 9am, every week for the term — created in one go, weeks ahead.
- 04
Choose how places are given out
Pick from five fairness modes, per series or per game. This is the decision that actually matters.
- 05
Approve players, take results
Approve new profiles if you require it, record who won each court, and let a no-show quietly restrict itself.
For the parent
- 01
Scan or type the code
Straight to your club's own page — your badge, your colours, not a generic form.
- 02
Email code, no password
One code sent to their inbox. Nothing to remember, nothing to reset next term.
- 03
A quick profile
Their child's name, ability, and a photo — so the coach can put a face to a name on day one.
- 04
See this week's games
Dates, times, courts, and how many places are left, before they commit to anything.
- 05
Sign up
However the club runs it — a draw, a sprint at nine, a request the organiser approves.
- 06
Get the email, then pay the club
A confirmation lands, and if there's a fee, the club's own payment link is right there in it.
The fairness question
Five ways to hand out a place.
Every mode fills the same number of courts. What changes is who wins the place when there are more names than spaces — and that's a decision worth making on purpose.
- Random draw
- Anyone can register up to a deadline; at the deadline a random draw fills the places and everyone else lands on the waitlist in draw order. It's fair because nobody's phone speed or Wi-Fi decides who gets in — a coin toss does, and a coin toss doesn't play favourites.
- First-come-first-served window
- Nothing can be clicked before the window opens; the button goes from a countdown to green at the exact second, and places go in arrival order. It's fair because the rule is the same for everyone and the server — not a parent's clock — decides who was first.
- Club approval
- Players request a place and the organiser approves or declines each one. It's fair because you can weigh things a formula can't — a sibling who missed last week, a new joiner who needs a run-out — and say why.
- Ranked by points
- Registrations close, then the leaderboard decides: highest points first, ties broken randomly. It's fair to your regulars — it rewards the players who turn up week after week, not just the ones who happen to be free that Saturday.
- Fair share
- Registrations close, then priority goes to whoever's played fewest games in the last eight weeks, ties broken randomly. It's fair to your occasional players — it stops the same six names filling every game while everyone else waits.
01
When demand regularly outstrips courts
02
When you want punctuality to matter
03
When you want a human making the call
04
For squads that reward showing up
05
For a club that wants everyone to get a game
After the whistle
Results, points, and a leaderboard.
- Record results per court
- Win, draw or loss for each player. Points are awarded automatically, and re-recording a result cleanly replaces the last one.
- A leaderboard that updates itself
- Approved players ranked by points, then wins — visible to the whole club, not just the coach's spreadsheet.
- No-show penalties, handled quietly
- Marking a no-show docks points and restricts sign-ups for a period you set — so the coach isn't the one chasing it up personally.
- Announcements
- Post news, pin what matters, and optionally email it to the whole club — a cancelled game, a change of court, a well-done to the under-14s.
