Step by Step Guide

Sign-in has become so easy!

Apple users can now use Apple Sign-in.

For both existing members and new members, it takes just 2 clicks to get yourself signed-in!

This is where you start. After logging in (you do not have to log in each time unless you log out), you could

  1. Create a new group or
  2. Use existing groups (by getting an invitation code from a data-sharing member). Then
  3.  You could choose the group for the day from max. 5 groups you have registered by up/down arrows and then click Start.
  4. When you are creating a new group, you are solicited to ‘Add new players‘. You could add up to 25 players.
  5. Enter their display names. You could also choose their proposed initial level from Beginner/Lower Intermediate/Upper Intermediate/Advance. You could opt it out by choosing ‘not to set.’ If you do not choose, their levels are set at the group average.

Then, you choose the players for the session. If you are happy with the selection, Confirm.

When the players are confirmed, you are asked

  1. the number of courts
  2. max score in a game or set, i.e. in case of tennis, it’s 7 if it goes to tiebreak.  In case of badminton, it could be 3 or 21 if you are playing just one game. The same for table tennis but it could goes up to 30. 
  3. Live update or not: if you chose Live update mode, you are asked to enter the scores after completing the match. That way, you could improve the accuracy of the players’ skill level. If you won, you get points at the cost of your opponent, and it is calculated as such you get more points if you have beaten a stronger opponent.
  4. After making these selections, press ‘Get good/Matches

Hooray! Now you’ve got your goodMatches No. 1. If you have chosen the live mode, please enter the match scores when you’ve finished the match.

Like this. Then you press ‘Confirm/Re-confirm results and press Next goodMatches.

Now, you can see the winner teams were given points and you can also confirm who are the 2 top gainers for today.

When you press OK, you will get the second goodMatches like the next picture.

You can change players by clicking ‘change players/setup‘. You can delete existing players/add new players as you wish.  Even if you have changed the number of players or the number of courts, the app remembers what has happened so far, thus you get a nice continuation from the previous match. If you don’t like the matchup for any reason, you could  skip it by clicking ‘Go next without entering all scores.‘ 

Or you can watch the demo video which should give you a good idea of how it works.

  1. I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something
    relating to this.

    1. thanks for the compliment, this kind of response surely is what keeps me going, though I have to admit the blog’s been slow going. You replied to the support page (maybe our bug) but I wonder what topic you’re referring to. I’ll try and update the blog as often as possible anyway. Thank you again!
