Built for tennis communities. Polls, voting, and time windows surface the optimal time and court, group chat keeps your crew on the same page — and City Hubs help you find new players near you. Royal M is the organizing layer your hitting crew has been missing. Stop losing matches to tangled group chats and half-answered "anyone free Saturday?" threads — and start landing on confirmed times, courts, and lineups in a tap. Why Royal M? Most scheduling apps treat tennis like any other calendar event. Royal M understands how communities actually play — required vs. optional spots, odd-player handling, preferred courts, and the reality that nobody picks the right time on the first try. Polls and time windows do that work for you. Events that fit how you play • Confirmed — time is locked and the required player count is met • Pending — still gathering players, or waiting on a time-window vote • Required vs. optional spots, with automatic wait-listing for odd players • Per-event cost tracking for paid courts Time windows that find the slot Propose a set of possible time blocks instead of one fixed time. Invited and registered players vote best / works / can't, and the organizer locks in the winning slot — or opens it up so any player can. Availability polls for groups Anyone in the group can create a poll. Members tap dates to mark morning, afternoon, or evening. Results sort by overall availability so the best slot is immediately obvious — no spreadsheets, no DMs, no guessing. And "Suggest from Calendar" pre-fills the times you're actually free — computed on your device; your calendar never leaves your phone. City Hubs — find new players near you • One open hub per city — Denver first, more as the community grows • Join in a tap — no approval, just your NTRP level so everyone knows who they're hitting with • Post a hit or an availability poll to the whole hub • Joining subscribes you to hub events near your NTRP level — tune the organizer NTRP range and distance from your home court so only events that fit you notify you • Every event shows the organizer's NTRP; the members list filters to your level or your home court Private groups for your crew • Build your own invite-only group of regulars • Invite by link, text, or email — whether or not they're on Royal M yet • Any member can open a poll or create an event • Linked events show on group pages automatically, with a heads-up to members when spots remain Messaging, built right in • Every private group and event gets its own conversation — no more scattered group texts • Direct messages for 1-1 chats with friends and anyone in your private groups • Tapback reactions — react to a message without pinging the whole thread • Mute a busy thread, or delete a conversation from your list anytime • Messages arrive in real time, with unread badges synced across iPhone and the web Courts, the way tennis players think about them • Pull preferred courts from every registered and invited player's profile • Pick locations directly from Apple Maps — address and map link auto-fill • Tag indoor, outdoor, or outdoor with lights • Mark free or paid (with per-event cost prompts) Friends and notifications Add friends, register or invite them in one tap, and get notified the moment a match firms up, a time window resolves, or a spot opens up — with per-category control over exactly what reaches you. One account, everywhere Sign in with Apple, Google, or a passkey. Everything syncs live with the web app at royalmgames.com. Built by tennis players, for tennis communities.
