If you've ever organized a pickup session, you know the grind: collecting cash, tracking who's up next, splitting teams that never feel fair, and answering "who's got winners?" all night long. NextGame Manager runs all of it from one phone—for any sport you play. Players scan your QR code to check themselves in. NextGame builds even teams instantly—Equal Competition for tight, balanced games, or random when you want to mix it up—names the teams whatever your group uses, pushes the lineup straight to every player's phone, and runs the rotation on the rule you choose: Equal Competition, the Two-Game Rule, or Winners Stay. Big turnout? Scale all the way up. NextGame handles up to 20 courts and hundreds of players at once, so a single organizer can run what used to take a whole staff. Reach everyone without leaving the app: message the whole group at once, see exactly what you've sent, and read and reply to responses right from your inbox. Set a session fee and a Venmo request goes out automatically to every player who checks in—no cash box, no chasing anyone down. — QR self-check-in for every player — Auto-balanced teams with Equal Competition — Custom team names for any sport or setup — Up to 20 courts, hundreds of players — Rotation rules that run themselves: Equal Competition, Two-Game Rule, Winners Stay — Instant lineup notifications to every player — Two-way messaging: broadcast, outbox, and reply inbox — Automatic Venmo fee collection — Live records, win %, and plus-minus on every player Stop refereeing the setup.
