Got Next runs your pickup basketball night from one phone or tablet at the court. No more arguing about who is next. CHECK-IN Tap players as they arrive. Their arrival time is their spot in the line. Add a guest in one tap. THE LINE, DONE RIGHT Losers go to the back in arrival order. Anyone who shows up after a team lost goes behind them. The app shows exactly who is next up, and fills a short team from the earliest-arrived losers. THE COURT Both teams, the game clock, an optional score, and two big buttons: Team A won, Team B won. Winners stay on. Three straight wins and the team sits one game while the next eight play. YOUR RULES 4-on-4 or 3-on-3, points to win, win by two, a time cap that buzzes, how many straight wins before sitting, and more. Every rule is a setting with a plain-English explanation, locked behind an organizer PIN. REAL LIFE HAPPENS Skip a player who is not there when called and keep their spot. Pause someone for a water break. Mark someone who left mid-game and the next in line steps in. Undo any wrong tap. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Everything is stored on your device, so the gym's bad signal never stops the game. Export a backup file whenever you like. YOUR CREW, ANYWHERE (optional) Sign in with an email code, create a group like "Los Tigers" or join one with a 6-character invite code. Your roster, games and beer rounds sync to the group when you have signal. Players get a profile with their record, can check themselves in from the parking lot when the admin allows it, scan the QR at the court, and watch who's next from their own phone. Built for a tablet held courtside and for a phone in one hand: big buttons, dark screen, readable in a dim gym or in the sun.
