Set up the ideal racquet or paddle-sports match or practice game at your club or court, or anywhere, anytime worldwide. Put your sport-playing life in the palm of your hand. We love ALL racquet and paddle sports: iPlayMe2 now supports eleven (11) of the most popular global racquet and paddle sports: Tennis, Pickleball, Padel, Squash, Racquetball, Badminton, Paddle Tennis, Platform Tennis, Paddleball, Court (Royal) Tennis, and even Table Tennis (Ping Pong). Play one, play many! Get A Game Easily: • Find and schedule the perfect match, or practice session, wherever, whenever, and against whomever you want. On the fly, just in time, while travelling or at your home club. Suggest various time-slots, and see who’s available, and when, in seconds. • Total flexibility in how you want to play, practice or compete. Amongst friends, or local opponents you’ve not yet met, iPlayMe2 helps you find the ideal players who meet your match criteria (type of match, duration, age range, level, gender, and of course sport). • Say goodbye to never-ending text threads, WhatsApp messages, and e-mails to ALL! Swipe, and serve! Tap, and Accept! Click, and Dink! Organizing a match has never been this easy, and efficient. Dial It Up / Dial It Down: • Dial it up when you’re on a tear; dial it down when you’re recovering from an injury, or coming back from a long break. Get the right match, right now, for your current state. • Calibrate the kind of opponent(s), and doubles partner(s), you’d prefer now. Expand your local network of fellow players. Make new friends. • Ask iPlayMe2 to send your invites to suitable players within its local network, without losing any privacy. The app never reveals your cell phone number, nor e-mail address. Keep It Close, Keep Your Opponents Closer: • Report your own match results; see your real rating trend, as you win or come close. Every game (or point) from every set (or game) counts. Never let up. • iPlayMe2’s proprietary algorithm rewards match performance as a function of the current ratings gap between opponents. So there’s no downside in playing against higher-ranked players. Nor against those lower-ranked. • Review others’ results and progression: iPlayMe2 displays match results from those you’re connected with, through your club, facility, local courts, and tournaments. Run Tournaments & Competitions • Introduce your club or facility to iPlayMe2’s “club admin portal”, with which they can launch and run all kinds of tournaments and competitions through the app. Or manage your own competitive play amongst your friends and local players, generating revenue while having fun and meeting fellow players. • Simple Elimination, with or without a Back-Draw, full Double-Elimination across all rounds, Compass Draw, Round-Robins, Ladders, and Leagues… doubles or singles, for any of our supported racquet and paddle sports. iPlayMe2 can handle it all. Including Progressive Doubles, where you rotate through partners. • Make those competitions “self-service” (meaning the players self-schedule their own matches, and enter their own results), or stay “old school”, where the club / facility or yourself schedules the matches, and books the results. Brackets get automatically updated, while next-opponent notifications get sent out to the continuing players. Enjoy the most useful app ever developed for racquet and paddle sport players! iPlay. Me too.
