What’s new on CourtFlow this August

August was a big month for clubs running sessions, Rumbles, and competitions. Here’s what’s live now for players, captains, and tournament directors.

Team Mixer Rumbles

A new Rumble format built for club vs club team play:

• Four-player teams with a live session clock
• Simpler scoring, enter the final score when the match is done
• Clearer captain and host-club workflows for organising the day Ideal when you want structured interclub play without the classic seed-mirrored doubles mixer.

Singles and doubles round-robin sessions

Social sessions can now run as singles or doubles round-robin, not only open play / King of the Court styles. Clubs get cleaner pairings and rotation for more organised midweek and weekend sessions.

Competition upgrades

Competition registration is more self-serve and easier to manage:

• Partner / teammate requests with accept or decline
• Date of birth on profiles for age-eligible divisions
• Capacity and waitlists when events fill up
• Self-manage registration changes, including Club Credit on competitions
• Payment requests so captains and TDs can chase unpaid entries without awkward side chats
• Clearer entry lists and captain visibility for members

Rumbles: fairer when plans change

• Cancel to Club Credit players can cancel within your club’s policy window and receive credit instead of waiting on a Stripe refund
• Captain waitlist substitution captains can replace an unavailable draw player with someone already on that Rumble’s waitlist (seed stays the same; schedule isn’t rebuilt)
• Incoming substitutes on paid events get an email to complete payment
• Tournament directors still reconcile the outgoing player’s payment after the event
• Optional invite-code rules, QR codes for joining, and better score/admin hardening for event day

Everyday polish

• QR codes for Rumbles and competitions faster join links for posters and WhatsApp
• Court hire member pricing for clubs that offer member rates
• Shop improvements (including MOQ / order-run support)
• Contact / enquiry updates and clearer terms acceptance
• Rumble stats and smaller UX fixes across currency display, session check-in, and Stripe Connect for clubs

What to try next

1. Host a Team Mixer or try round-robin on your next social session
2. Turn on competition waitlists and partner requests for your next event
3. Share a QR code on your next Rumble poster
4. Check your club’s cancel-to-credit deadline before the next paid Rumble
