Programs and sessions
One program per sport, on your reserved boards. Rally creates one session a week.
Run open play →Caps and waitlist
Each division has its cap. A freed spot goes to the first player waiting, who gets a notice.
Manage open play sign-ups →Check-in on arrival
Players who signed up scan the session code. You check in a walk-in or a player without a phone by hand.
Check in players →Popcorn rounds
Rally rotates partners and spreads rest evenly. Nobody sits out twice before everyone else.
Start a round →Balanced mixer
Rally builds the round from everyone’s rating, so both sides of each game have a close level.
Run a balanced mixer →King of the Court
Winners move up one board toward the king’s, losers move down.
Run King of the Court →Americano rounds
A new partner every round. Tonight’s standings add up everyone’s points.
Run an Americano →Mexicano rounds
After each round, players of a close level meet again, based on tonight’s standings.
Run a Mexicano →Scores entered by players
One player in the game enters the score on their phone. The other side has nothing to confirm.
Enter your open play score →Court screen
On a TV or a tablet: who plays on which board, what comes next and the round timer.
