Casual Games

Quick game creation is the core flow: pick players from contacts or scan QR codes at the venue, choose the format (tête-à-tête, doublette, triplette), set points-to-win, and start playing. Score tracking uses the same scoring engine as official matches, so the experience is consistent — players can either tap totals at the end of the match or track mène-by-mène detail (optional). Casual games are tagged with location (venue ID if at a registered facility, GPS coordinates otherwise) so club managers see who is using their courts and players build a map of where they have played.

Each casual game writes to the player's casual game history, separate from the official match log. Casual game ELO impact is configurable per tenant — fully equal to official, weighted lower (e.g., 50% K-factor), or excluded entirely — so federations decide whether casual play moves the global ELO needle. Inviting players to a casual game runs in-app: send the invite, the receiver accepts, the game appears on both calendars.

The "looking for game" status lets a player signal availability at a venue — anyone within range or following the venue sees the broadcast and can offer to play. Club evening management organises larger casual sessions: register attendees, run a random team generator that shuffles players into balanced teams by ELO, score each round, and post a friendly evening leaderboard. Casual game statistics are tallied separately (career casual wins, favourite partners, most-played venues), and players can social-share results or attach photos and video.
