Members come and go, the committee changes and the season has to keep going through all of it. SetMatcher keeps your members, courts, lessons, teams, results and rankings in one place the whole committee can use.
Free to sign up and free to play. Your profile stays private until you choose to publish it.
From welcoming new members in autumn to handing over to a new committee in summer, here is how SetMatcher helps at each point in the year.
Invite members by email, one at a time or up to 200 at once from a spreadsheet. Someone joins your member list when they accept, so the list stays accurate and nobody is signed up without knowing it. Then open the booking sheet on your courts, and the members book their own evenings under rules you set once.
Enter your teams for the season and pick each squad from your members; a player can be in only one team per division, and members can put their own name down through a link you share. Open a season of lessons at the same time: appoint your instructors, set aside the courts, and let members sign up for a group that meets the same hour every week.
The fixture list is made for you, with home and away matches balanced, and the league table updates after every result, counted the way your federation counts it. The instructors take their register lesson by lesson, a rained-off lesson is owed back under the rule you chose, and the ledger says who has paid.
When the committee changes, hand the club, a group or a competition over to the new person. Nothing changes until they accept, so your club always has an owner, even after someone leaves.
What it does not do: SetMatcher is not a membership administration and does not collect membership fees. It keeps track of who plays, who booked which court, who is in which lesson group, what they played and the results. Your federation still decides how your league is organised.
What a committee wants to know before it moves its club: what a club is, what it costs, what a year looks like, how to move over, and how the register, the park map, the booking sheet and the lessons work.
Most people are more than one of these. A club secretary often plays on Thursday evening too.
Thirty-two players arrive, two of them don’t, one court is out of use, and you still need to know who plays next. SetMatcher helps you through the day, from making the draw the night before to the final result.
The hard part is rarely the playing. It is finding someone at about your level who is free on the same evening, and agreeing when and where. SetMatcher helps with that, and keeps your rating up to date afterwards.
Free for players. Clubs get a register, a park map, court bookings and lessons.
