Rallio
Read full descriptionHide full description
You just want a good game. Social rackets make that harder than it should be. Sixty WhatsApp messages to find a fourth. Playing the same partner every week, or getting thrashed by someone two levels up. A ladder on a spreadsheet nobody updates. A box league where you're chasing people for scores. And one organiser holding it all together by hand. Rallio fixes that. Sign up in one tap. Get games against people at your level. Log a score in seconds and watch your level move. Ladders, box leagues, competitions, mixers and open games, all in one app, for tennis, padel, pickleball, badminton, squash and table tennis. ADD YOUR LEVEL, WHATEVER IT IS Got a WTN, UTR, DUPR, Playtomic, TTE or SquashLevels number? Add it. Don't have one? Pick your club colour, or the description closest to how you play. Every result you play keeps it up to date, and your club names the levels its own way. Organisers open sessions to the right levels, so you get the game you came for. MIXERS Doubles socials without the admin. Sign up or join the reserve list, see who you're playing with and against, and follow the live leaderboard. Organisers draft the pairings by drag and drop, with flags for same-gender pairs and repeat partners, so you're not stuck with the same partner again. Weekly sessions come from templates, and everyone's notified when the draw goes live. Not in a club? Set up a private, invite-only mixer for your own group and run it yourself. LADDERS A ranking that never ends, and you climb it by challenging the players near you. Mark yourself available, send and accept challenges, agree a date, invite a partner for doubles, and check your head-to-head record before you play. Managers set the challenge range and window, seed and reorder members, approve joins and settle disputes. BOX LEAGUES Small groups of players at your level, with promotion and relegation. Arrange your games inside the window, and every game you play earns points. See your box, your standings and the games you have left. Report a score and it counts straight away, and your opponent confirms it, so nobody has to chase anyone. At the end of each window, the top two go up and the bottom two go down, or the manager makes their own call. COMPETITIONS Knockout tournaments. Join, invite a doubles partner and follow your route through the bracket. Managers seed by rank or level, publish the draw, enter results and advance every round. HANDICAPS Turn on handicaps and each side starts from its level: scratch, −15, −30 in tennis, or a points start in other sports. A first-round mismatch becomes a real match. The start shows on the match, and managers adjust it by moving a player's band, never by typing numbers. OPEN GAMES Short a player? Post a game, browse what's on and send a join request. No organiser needed. FOR CLUB AND GROUP ADMINS See every activity in one place. Set up your sports, courts, levels and session templates, add members, approve signups and promote managers. YOUR WHOLE GAME, ONE RECORD Results from every mixer, ladder, box, competition and open game land on your profile. One account covers every club or group you play at, and the sport filter keeps each one separate. Get notified the moment your matches go live, a challenge lands, or you're promoted off the reserve list. Sign in with an emailed code, with no password to forget.
