🚀 How It Works
1. Create Your Group
Organizers create a private group and get a unique shareable code. Set your group’s rules and manage members easily.
2. Schedule Events
Create events with all the details: date, time, location, max participants, and fee. Set a commitment deadline to ensure reliable attendance.
3. Players Register
Members register with one tap. Fee is deducted immediately - if spots are full, they join the waitlist (still paid, guaranteed spot if one opens).
4. Automatic Management
- Waitlisted players automatically promoted when spots open
- Refunds processed automatically for cancellations
- Reminders sent 24 hours before events
- Real-time participant counts
5. Show Up & Play!
Everyone knows who’s coming, payments are handled, and you can focus on the game.

❓ Common Questions
Is GetSpot really free?
Yes! No subscription, no transaction fees, completely free.
Do I need a business account or payment gateway?
Nope! GetSpot uses a virtual currency system. You handle real payments however you want (cash, Venmo, Zelle, etc.), then credit wallets through the app.
What happens if someone cancels last minute?
If they cancel after the commitment deadline, they forfeit their fee (unless someone from the waitlist takes their spot). This encourages reliable attendance.
Can I use GetSpot for multiple groups?
Absolutely! Players can join multiple groups with one account. Organizers can create and manage multiple groups too.
What if I need a feature that’s not available?
We’re actively developing! Check out our roadmap or submit a feature request via GitHub Issues.
Is my data safe?
Yes! We use Firebase with industry-standard security. Your payment information never touches our servers (since you handle real payments offline). See our Privacy Policy.
Can I customize the app for my sport?
Currently GetSpot works great for all sports. Sport-specific features (like court assignments, skill-based matching) are on our roadmap.
