Everything Who Play does for your group
Built for organisers of recurring pickup games. Free to use, works in any browser, and lives next to the WhatsApp group your players already check.
Who Play is a free web app for organising pickup sports games — padel, futsal, soccer, tennis, basketball and volleyball. It bundles RSVPs, automatic team balancing by ELO, MVP voting, recurring weekly games, monthly Stories-format recaps and per-group standings into a single shared league space, built for casual groups in any city.
Real ELO standings, per group
Every game updates each player's ELO score based on the result and the relative strength of each team. Standings refresh after every match — and they reset cleanly each month so the leaderboard never feels rigged.
- Per-group ranking that only counts your group's games
- Per-sport ELO when your group plays multiple sports
- Win streaks, attendance streaks and head-to-head records surfaced where it matters
MVP voting after every game
Each player picks the MVP after the final whistle. Votes count toward an MVP-of-the-month award, and the player with the most MVPs gets a small ELO bonus when the season is archived.
- One-tap voting; votes close automatically
- MVP card on the post-match screen and on the player profile
- Goals and assists log alongside MVP votes for ball sports
Automatic team balancing
Click "balance teams" and Who Play splits your roster using each player's current ELO. No more captains arguing or one team running away with it. You can override picks manually before the game starts.
- Skill-based pairs and lineups in one click
- Manual overrides for known mismatches
- Works for 2v2 padel, 5v5 futsal, 7v7 and 11-a-side soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis
Recurring games on autopilot
Set up your weekly Tuesday futsal once and Who Play creates the next game automatically — same time, same court, same default roster. RSVPs roll over so the regulars don't even have to tap.
- Weekly, biweekly or custom cadence
- Auto-create runs on a server cron — never depends on the organiser opening the app
- End the series with one tap when the season finishes
Waitlist with auto-promotion
Game full? Late RSVPs join the waitlist. The moment someone drops out, the first person on the waitlist gets promoted automatically and receives a push notification.
- Push notifications when promoted
- Public games can take visitors when your group is short-handed
Split costs in seconds
Court rental and ball costs split across the players who actually showed up. No more chasing six people for €4 each — see who owes what and settle up however your group already pays.
- Cost per game split by attendance
- Works alongside MB Way, Revolut, Splitwise — Who Play just does the maths
Smart reminders
Who Play nudges unconfirmed players before the RSVP deadline and reminds everyone the day of the game. Push notifications on web, iOS PWA and Android PWA.
- Configurable per group — mute reminders if you don't want them
- Confirmation-deadline alerts as the close-time approaches
Stats, partnerships and rivalries
Beyond standings, Who Play surfaces best partner combos, head-to-head rivalries, win rates, and per-sport breakdowns on each player's profile.
- Top-3 partnerships and rivalries on the group page
- Cumulative team-score and points-conceded stats per profile
- Per-sport ELO when the player plays in multiple sport groups
Achievements and badges
27 server-awarded badges across global, group, and per-sport milestones — Champion, Streak King, Iron Man, Hat Trick, Comeback, Derby Hero and more. Earned, not handed out.
- Profile grid + activity feed + push notification on unlock
- Group + sport scoping so badges feel earned in context
Monthly recap, ready for WhatsApp
Every month Who Play generates a stories-style recap card: top 3, MVP, total games, top scorer. One tap to share to Instagram Stories, WhatsApp or anywhere.
- Auto-generated 1200×630 image, optimised for social
- Shareable group + per-player monthly recap
Round-robin tournaments
Run a one-off tournament inside your group. Round-robin schedule, manual or auto teams, ELO-eligible games, MVP vote with archive bonus, champions hero card.
- Co-organiser admin and guest invites
- Counts toward season ELO and rankings
Calendar sync (.ics)
Add the next game to your calendar with one tap, or subscribe to your group's calendar feed so every game appears in iOS / Google / Outlook automatically.
