โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for players and clubs.

For players
How do I join an open-play session?
Scan the QR code shown at your club's venue, or open the link your club shared. That takes you straight to the check-in page โ€” no app or account needed.
Do I need to download an app?
No. RallyFlow runs in your phone's browser. You can optionally add it to your home screen for quick access, but it's not required.
How does the queue work?
After you check in you join the waiting list. Matches are formed from the front of the queue โ€” automatically or by the admin. When a game ends, winners re-enter the queue ahead of the losers, so you'll be matched again shortly.
Will I be notified when it's my turn?
Yes โ€” keep the live queue page open on your phone. The Smart Queue engine can reshuffle who plays next among the players at the front of the line, so we don't promise an exact turn order; instead, the moment you're assigned to a court you'll see a โ€œYou're playing โ€” Court Nโ€ banner and hear a short alert. (Sound needs your phone unlocked and the page visible.)
What's the skill level for?
It's an optional self-rating loosely based on the DUPR scale (Beginner through Pro). It shows up as a small badge next to your name so the admin can pick balanced matches when running manual court assignment. Leave it blank if you'd rather not say.
How are standings ranked?
By win percentage, with a 3-game minimum to qualify for the top spots โ€” players with fewer than 3 decided games rank below everyone who has them. Games ended without a recorded winner don't count toward your record.
How can I see past results?
From the home page tap View Open-Play Results, search for your club, and browse previous sessions โ€” including the podium, full standings, and the Match Log of every game with scores. No login needed.
Can I download or share a picture of the results?
Yes. Open your club's results, expand any ended session, and use ๐Ÿ“ฅ Download Recap for a shareable podium card (1080ร—1350 โ€” fits Instagram / Facebook stories), or ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Match Log Poster for a tall image of every match with scores. You can also grab ๐Ÿงพ Download Matches (CSV) for a spreadsheet-friendly file.
Is my name shown publicly?
Your display name and win/loss record appear on your club's live queue board and in its public results. Only the name you check in with is shown โ€” no contact details.
Should I create a player account?
It's optional, but it links your check-ins to a persistent profile so you don't have to re-type your name each visit, lets you join multiple clubs, and keeps a running win/loss history and skill badges across sessions. Create one or log in anytime.
Where do I manage my player account?
Your Dashboard (/player/dashboard) shows your clubs, active sessions, check-in, upcoming activities, and stats. Your Account page (/player/account) is where you join another club or change your password.
What are Club Activities?
Clubs can post upcoming activities โ€” like a social mixer or a video-call meetup โ€” with a join link. Any activity that hasn't passed yet shows up on your dashboard for every club you're a member of, with a Join button that opens the link.
Can I join more than one club with my account?
Yes. Open Account (/player/account) and use Join Another Club โ€” search by name and you're added instantly. Your dashboard then shows check-in, sessions, and activities for every club you've joined, and your win/loss history is tracked separately per club.
If I have an account, do I still need the QR code to check in?
Only the first time. Once you've joined a club, your Dashboard shows a one-tap Check In button whenever that club has an active session โ€” no need to re-scan or re-type your name. You'd only use the QR code again to join a club you're not yet a member of, or if the admin asks you to check in that way.
I forgot my player password โ€” how do I get back in?
There's no self-service or admin reset for player accounts yet โ€” not even your club's admin can do it for you. In the meantime, the workaround is to create a new account and rejoin your club(s) from Account; your old check-in history stays tied to the old account. Reach out to whoever runs your RallyFlow deployment if you need a manual fix.
๐ŸŸ๏ธ For clubs
How do I get a club account?
Just Create a Club โ€” enter your club name, a username, and a password, and you're in right away. No code or admin approval needed. (If your deployment has switched to invite-only mode, you'll be asked for a signup code.)
How do I run a session?
Once you log in, open the Getting Started guide from your dashboard. In short: create a session โ†’ start it โ†’ share the QR code โ†’ manage courts and the queue โ†’ end the session to capture standings and the top-3 podium.
What's the difference between auto and manual court assignment?
Auto fills each freed court with the next four players in line. Manual leaves freed courts open so you choose each pairing yourself โ€” handy when players prefer to pick who they play with. You can switch modes anytime on the dashboard.
Can players see our session history?
Yes. Once a session ends, it appears in your club's public results when someone searches your club name. Active and not-yet-started sessions are not shown publicly.
How do I share our session recap on Facebook / group chat?
After the session ends, open it from your dashboard's Session History (or from public results) and use ๐Ÿ“ฅ Download Recap for a podium card, or ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Match Log Poster for a full-match image. Both are public PNGs you can save and repost anywhere โ€” the club's name and logo are baked in.
Can we export match scores as a spreadsheet?
Yes. Expand an ended session and press ๐Ÿงพ Download Matches (CSV) โ€” you'll get a UTF-8 CSV (opens cleanly in Excel and Google Sheets) with match number, court, start/end time, both teams' rosters, scores, and the winner for every game.
A player doesn't have a phone โ€” can I still add them?
Yes. On the dashboard, press โž• Add Player in the Queue panel and enter their name (skill level optional). Walk-ins join the queue just like self-checked-in players.
How do I post an upcoming activity for members?
Open Activities from your dashboard, add a title, an optional description, a join link, and an optional date/time. It appears on the dashboard of every player who's a member of your club until it's removed or its date passes.
How do I change my password?
Log in and open Account to change your password.
I forgot my password โ€” how do I get back in?
There's no email-based reset yet. Contact your super-admin โ€” they can set a new password for your club from /admin/clubs โ†’ Reset password. Your club, sessions, players, and standings are all kept; you just log in with the new password.
