Pickup Game Roster —
One Link All Season

Post the Sunday run once. Players tap Join, the game caps at 10, the 11th lands on the waitlist and moves in when someone drops, and after the game the same link rolls over to next week with an empty roster. No league app, no roll call scrolling up the chat.

How pickup game sign-up works

Pick the Pickup game kind

It presets one-tap Join, a cap of 10, a waitlist and a weekly repeat. Set the court, the start time and the number you need: 10 for full court, 14 for five-a-side with subs, 22 for a full pitch.

Post it once

Paste the link in the group chat. The card shows the date, “6 / 10 joined” and a Join button. The page tells you when enough has changed to be worth re-sharing, and every re-share posts a card with the current count.

Let the roster run itself

Players join in a tap and can set Remind me. When the game fills, new names go on the waitlist in order; when someone taps leave, the next player moves in. Next week, same link, fresh roster.

Why this beats a roll call

Everyone knows if they are in

⚡

The cap does the counting

No scrolling back through forty “in” messages. The page lists who is in, how many spots are left and who is next on the waitlist, and the card says “Event full” the moment it is.

🔄

One link for the whole season

Set it to repeat every week, every 2 weeks or monthly. After each game the link moves to the next date and clears the list, so the link pinned in the chat never goes stale.

🔔

Reminders without an app

Remind me is a browser notification on each player's phone, set in one tap with no account. Post a host update like “Court 3 tonight, bring a dark shirt” and it lands on the page and on every phone with reminders on.

Game day

Small things that save the game

✅

Check players in

From your organizer view, tick each player as they arrive. By tip-off you know exactly who showed, and who to nudge next week.

🧍

Room for a friend

Turn on plus-ones and a player can bring a guest. Guests count against the cap, so ten heads means ten, not ten names plus friends.

📋

Names on the card

Switch the layout to Roster and the card lists the players down a full-bleed paper, open spots and all. The Team practice kind starts there.

🗂️

The whole season in a Hub

The Pickup game plan makes this week's game, a Who's in sheet, a Split for the court fee and a Note with the rules and address in one go, all behind one link.

FAQ

Pickup game roster FAQ

Is this pickup game roster free?

Yes. It is free for you and for every player, with no account, no app and no ads.

Can I cap the roster?

Yes. Set a headcount when you create the game, up to 500. The page and the card show “8 / 10 joined”, and once every spot is taken the card reads “Event full”.

How does the waitlist work?

Turn it on when you create the game (the Pickup game kind has it on). Once the game is full, new sign-ups join the waitlist in order, and when a player leaves, the next one moves in automatically. Raising the cap moves people in too.

Can the same link run every week?

Yes. Set it to repeat every week, every 2 weeks or monthly. When a game ends, the link rolls over to the next date with an empty roster, so you post it once for the whole season.

Can players get a reminder?

Yes. Remind me sends a browser notification a day or an hour before the game, on that player's phone. There is no account, email or text involved.

Can I collect positions or jersey colors?

Players can leave a line with “Add a note for the host” when they join, like “can play keeper”. For a full roster with columns, use a Sheet with a Position column, or start the Hub Pickup game plan, which includes a Who's in sheet.

Post your weekly game once.

Free, no account, works in every group chat.
