## What is Choyens?

Choyens is the easiest way to run, play, and remember a pickup sports night. Built for badminton and pickleball communities, Choyens also supports basketball, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, and more. Whether you're hosting a pickleball round-robin, a badminton queue night, or a basketball pickup game, Choyens turns the chaos of "who's up next" into a smooth, social experience your players will come back for.

LIVE COURT QUEUE

Stop yelling "next!" across the gym. Choyens automatically rotates players across one or many courts. Everyone sees who's up, who's resting, and which court they're playing on—with push notifications when it's their turn.

EVENT NIGHTS, DONE RIGHT

Create an event in seconds. Choose your sport, venue, courts, format, and team size. Players RSVP, check in, and the app handles the rest. Guests are welcome—no account required for one-time players.

MVP & FINAL RANKINGS

When the night ends, Choyens crowns the Player of the Night and generates rankings automatically. Wins, losses, win rate, and game points are calculated instantly—no spreadsheets, no disputes.

SHARE YOUR RESULTS

Create beautiful cards for Instagram and Facebook Stories. Share final scores, player stats, MVP cards, or the event leaderboard with one tap.

GROUPS & COMMUNITIES

Build your badminton club or pickleball community, invite members, organize recurring events, and stay connected with built-in group chat. Discover groups by sport, city, or country.

CHAT THAT BELONGS TO THE GAME

Per-event and per-group chats keep conversations where they belong. Share photos, react to plays, and receive updates like "Court 2 is open—you're up next."
