How it works
From pin to permanent record.
Eight beats. Every Saturday run you've ever played already follows this arc. Now it leaves a record.
Pin the court
Drop the run at a real Play Site — a named court with a map pin, weather context, and its own leaderboard. No more 'same spot as last week.'
Post, invite, fill the bench
Open the game, send join requests, watch RSVPs come in. Saturday starts on time because the bench was confirmed Friday night.
Assign the scorekeeper
Someone keeps an honest book and everyone competes harder because the record is real. That role gets recognized — credits, reputation, the whole system runs on it.
Tap to score live
Big player tiles, one tap per basket, fouls on every row, quick undo. The scorekeeper never looks up from the game.
Watch and Lock Screen
Apple Watch and Live Activity put the score exactly where attention already is — on the wrist and the lock screen. The phone stays in the bag.
Close with reviews
Rate who you played with. Lock the score everyone saw. The record is signed, sealed, and attached to your profiles before anyone leaves the court.
Leaderboards and Achievement Hall
Home boards update. Clutch badges land. Streak milestones get marked. Credits go to the scorekeeper automatically when the run finishes on record.
Paid fill-ins (coming)
When hire flows ship, your reputation from steps 1–7 is what earns you a listing. Paid pickup stays earned, not spam. Pickup itself stays free by default.
A real run, start to finish
Saturday at Lincoln Park.
One court. One organizer. Ten players. Here's how a pickup run goes from idea to permanent record — and how READYPLAY gets its first foothold at a new park.
How does a court get started? One person posts one run. That's it. The leaderboard, the history, the reputation — all of it builds from the first game. Marcus is that person at Lincoln Park.
Posts the run
Marcus opens READYPLAY, picks Lincoln Park Court 2, sets tip-off for Saturday 10am, caps the roster at 10. Done in under a minute.
Sends join requests
He taps six regulars. They each get a notification with the court, time, and a one-tap accept. No group chat thread. No "you coming?" follow-ups.
Bench is confirmed
Five accepted, one declined — Marcus adds a fill from the park's watcher list. Saturday starts on time because the bench was locked the night before.
Keeps the book
Deja volunteers as scorekeeper. She's not on either team — just the most organized person at the court. Big player tiles, one tap per basket, fouls tracked with who-called / who-committed. She never looks up.
Friends follow from the lock screen
Two players who couldn't make it watch the score on their Lock Screen — real-time, no app open required. When the margin hits 2 with one possession left, the Live Activity shows a clutch-time indicator.
Close with reviews
Game ends 21–17. Everyone rates the players they guarded. Speed, defense, morale, teamwork — each attribute goes to the profile of the person who earned it. The score locks. No one disputes it.
Records land, reputation updates
Everyone's OVR shifts. Marcus climbs the Lincoln Park leaderboard. Deja earns scorekeeper credits automatically — no claim required. The game fingerprint is stored. That run now has a permanent record.
Next Saturday
Marcus posts the run again. Three new players show up. The leaderboard has two weeks of history. By month two, Lincoln Park Court 2 has its own standings, its own regulars, its own streak holders. The community built itself — one run at a time.
