## What is Court Manager?

Court manager is a 21st century electronic replacement for the traditional peg board.

Great for Clubs and great for coaches.

Court Manager is a great app for any sport where you need to pick fair games for your club members.

Court Manager automatically picks fair games based on club members arrival times, games played, who they have played with and the type of game they have played before, for instance a mixed or levels.

The Auto picker ensures there is no dithering with a peg board in choosing games, turn around is vastly improved providing more court utilisation and therefore better value for money for both your club and your players.

No more broken or lost pegs.

No new pegs needed.

No more “fixing” of games.

Quicker turn round of games.

A manual mode is also available for those times when auto picking is not applicable or if you are a coach and want to enter specific games on each court.

Keep track of stats in the waiting list so you know how many games members have played and how long they have been waiting.  More extensive stats can be seen on the config screen.

Configure the App to your requirements and then start each session with those settings.  Don't worry you can change the configuration on the fly, for instance if you want to swap to manual mode.  A password option keeps the settings protected.

Players can be paused and resumed at any time to exclude them from being picked for a game.

Use the player database to manage your membership, use the stats to keep track of who is coming to sessions.

### 5/5 — East London badders

*2023-08-02, version 1.7.0*

My club has only been using this app for about a month. We have 6 courts and our numbers have  increased substantially which meant it was getting difficult to organise games. This app has changed that. Once you have the settings sorted correctly, it runs like clockwork. The only drawback is that you don’t have time to chat because you’re always playing!  Gavin is very responsive and helped us to find the correct settings initially and takes on board any suggestions. Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Court Manager

*2023-07-31, version 1.7.0*

Our club’s membership increased and we moved from three to six courts. Organising games was becoming difficult to manage so we tried using a traditional peg board. For several reasons this failed. One of the club members found the Court Manager app and we decided to try it out. On the first night it was a huge success. The app was easy to use and any member who tried it was able to arrange games using it. It was easy to add members as they arrived through the evening. A handy feature is being able to pause a player allowing them to take a break. The app allows the ranking of players and it will use this to choose fair games ( e.g. so a beginner is not put on with three experienced players). We’ve been using the app for several weeks now . It takes away the hassle of arranging games and is great for newer members who may not know everyone’s name or their skill level. I can’t see how we would manage without it now 🙂
