The problem
Club nights get messy fast.
Players drive out for a session and end up watching. Hosts spend the night refereeing the waiting list instead of playing.
Long waits
You sit out three rotations while the same four players keep the court.
Paper pegboards
Names on a whiteboard, clips falling off, and nobody sure who is actually next.
Lopsided games
Beginners get matched with smashers, games turn into blowouts, and nobody enjoys the rally.
The solution
SmashQ runs the queue so the club can just play.
“No more arguing about who is next. The board is on everyone's phone, and the next match is already balanced.”
Features
Everything a club night needs
Built for badminton and pickleball players and hosts — simple on the phone, powerful on the wall display.
Fair rotation queue
Players with the fewest games go first, and whoever just finished sits one out when the pool allows.
Live game mode
An on-court display shows who is playing, who is up next, and the running score.
Ratings that find your level
Everyone starts equal. Results move your rating, and matchmaking follows it automatically.
Tournaments & brackets
Run club tournaments with automatic brackets, scores, and live standings.
Rally Feed
Share session wins, follow clubmates, and keep the community going between nights.
No self-assessment
Everyone starts on the same rating.
Asking new players to grade themselves never works — people guess high or low. SmashQ starts everyone together and learns from real matches instead.
Same starting point
Sign up and play — no skill quiz, no guessing.
Placement matches
Your first 8 games move your rating faster, so your real level shows up quickly.
Skill tiers follow results
Your category updates itself as you win and lose — nothing to maintain.
