## What is Feather Rally?

Feather Rally is the badminton club organizer built for the way real clubs play.

Most clubs run on a tangle of WhatsApp groups, paper sign-up sheets, and screenshots passed between admins. Feather Rally puts your whole club — sign-ups, scoring, payments, standings — in one shared app where everyone sees the same thing.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Rally Days — Schedule weekly sessions in one tap. Members RSVP, you see who's coming. Recurrence (weekly / biweekly / monthly) auto-spawns the next rally day after each one wraps, so you never re-create the same Tuesday night again.
• Round-Robin Live Scoring — Pick your players, pick your courts, hit Generate. Feather Rally builds a partner-rotating round-robin schedule, walks each round on a TV-mode dashboard, and tallies wins as scores come in. Live queue mode for big sessions (15+ players, 3+ courts).
• King of the Court — The classic gym mode. Winners stay, losers rotate, the dashboard tracks who's on which court and who's waiting.
• Club Matches — Inter-club doubles / mixed match cards with a poster generator and a recap image — share to WhatsApp / Instagram with one tap.
• Tournaments — Single elimination, single elim with consolation, round robin, group stage to knockout. Public registration with admin approval, draw generation, automatic next-round seeding, partner-rotation logic for doubles.
• Leagues — Recurring competitive ladders with ELO ratings. Join a league, play match days, watch your rating climb. Two modes: open pool (ad-hoc partners, individual ELO) and fixed pairs (registered partner, pair ELO). Court tiering by rating.
• Club Ledger — Track who's deposited, who owes, who's been credited. No money flows through the app — Feather Rally is the audit trail for the cash and e-transfers you already collect outside.
• Multilingual — Full Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) and Simplified Chinese (简体中文) support for clubs in Vancouver / Richmond / Burnaby / North Van.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Club admins juggling 4 WhatsApp groups and a spreadsheet who want one place for everything.
• Players who want to see "what's tonight" without scrolling through 200 chat messages.
• Tournament organizers who want auto-bracket generation and shareable recap images without buying $1500 software.
• League runners who want ELO ratings and tiered courts without the Excel formulas.

WHAT WE DON'T DO

• We don't process payments. Cash and e-transfers go directly between you and your admin — Feather Rally tracks the running balance.
• We don't sell or share your data. Ever.
• We don't auto-charge subscriptions. Free for individual players. Pro tier for clubs coming later.

Feather Rally is built and operated from Vancouver, Canada by a player who got tired of running clubs the hard way.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-05-27

• Faster, smoother startup — the app now holds the splash until the first
  screen is ready, so no more blank flash on launch.
• Keyboard fix — the on-screen keyboard no longer covers the field you're
  typing in (scores, court labels, notes).
• Tournaments: redesigned visual bracket (fits the whole draw on one
  screen with the final spotlighted), plus optional consolation and
  3rd/4th-place playoffs.
• Performance and stability improvements throughout.

### 1.2 — 2026-05-20

What's new in 1.2
• Universal Links — tap any featherrally.com link anywhere on iOS (Messages, Mail, Notes, Safari) and it opens in the app
• Swipe from the left edge to go back, right edge to go forward — same gesture you use in Safari
• Faster, more reliable score syncing when multiple admins edit at once
• Fixes for the iOS keyboard occasionally covering input fields
• Waitlist + capacity handling polish: no more silent over-cap approvals when admins add players to a full rally day
• Behind-the-scenes: faster sign-in, fewer push delivery edge cases
