NextFour (Next Four) turns your club's pegboard into an app. If your badminton, squash, padel, pickleball or table tennis club runs on a board of pegs on the wall, NextFour does the same job - fairer, faster, and visible to every player on their phone or a courtside tablet. FIND A GAME • Find badminton, squash, padel, pickleball and table tennis sessions and clubs near you. • See when and where they play, what level they are, and who's going. • Join a session, check in when you arrive, and get on court. THE DIGITAL PEGBOARD • Players peg on from their phone when they arrive - no crowding around the board. • The queue updates live, so everyone can see who's waiting and who's next. • Courts fill automatically in the right order as games finish. • Fair court rotation means no one gets stuck waiting while others jump the line. HOW YOU WANT TO RUN IT • Pegboard mode - the classic peg-on system, now digital. • Skill-based mode - balance matches by level so games stay competitive. • Manual mode - pick the players yourself when you want full control. COURTSIDE TABLET • Put NextFour on a tablet by the courts as your club board. • Players check themselves in with a code and peg on without needing the organiser. • See every court, the live queue and who's up next at a glance. QUICK SCORES • Tap the winning side and the score is filled in - just set the other side's. • Or record the winner only, if your club doesn't keep scores. FOR PLAYERS • See who's playing tonight and join the session. • Peg on, get matched into games, and pair up with a partner. • Build your profile and follow your stats over time. FOR CLUBS • Bring your members together under one club. • Members are added automatically when they play your sessions. • Run all your sessions and courts from one place. BUILT AROUND REAL CLUB NIGHTS NextFour was designed the way badminton and other racket clubs actually run their evenings - peg on, wait your turn, get on court. Less time managing the board, more time playing. Download NextFour and bring your club night's pegboard into the 21st century.
