The badminton club-night app
No more chasing £16s on WhatsApp.
You shouldn't have to choose between running the night and being on court. Members book and pay in-app · auto-matchmaking and a live board run the courts · every score becomes player stats.
Moving from WhatsApp and a spreadsheet?
Real club, real nightsBuilt and proven with our founding club, The Badminton Collective — members book and pay in-app, and the money lands straight in the club's own Stripe account.
Each club, walled offEach club's players, money and games stay walled off — and anyone who plays at more than one gets a separate profile in each, with stats they control.
How it works
Two screens, one night: the board on your phone, a tablet courtside for the players.
Run the room from your hand — pairings, courts, the bench and every override, live on the night.
Prop a tablet by the courts and players help themselves: who's on, what they're playing to, and the latest results. Tap a finished court to record the score — straight into everyone's stats.
Date, venue and a map, the options and prices, free cancellation — one tap to book, paid from their session-credit balance. It all lives in the app.
Pick the format, set the courts, open it for booking.
The board proposes pairings, absorbs late arrivals, and balances sit-outs.
A shareable wrap-up — podium, nail-biters, who played whom.
FOR ADMINS
The live board, the matchmaking queue, every override — in your hand on the night. And because players record their own games at the tablet, you choose your night: be on court playing, or just watch the signals.
Capacity, waitlists, refunds on cancellation.
Member tiers and pricing — rolling out with early clubs.
Who changed what, in plain English — and searchable.
Payments land in your club's own account — your members' money is never pooled in ours. Powered by
Fair games
Pick how the board pairs people — fair games, fast.
You play everyone — fresh partners and opponents all night.
You play your level — tight, competitive matches.
Some options lean toward variety — you play everyone. Others lean toward close games — you play your level. It learns the room over the first few weeks, then the pairings just click.
What your club gets back
Members book and pay in advance — the money is in before anyone steps on court.
Bookings, courts and scoring run themselves — no list to wrangle before each session.
A paid booking still covers the court — and a clear list means people turn up.
Your club's app
Not your club's name inside someone else's platform — your own branded app, at your own address, for every member.
Example clubs — the same app, three brandings.
yourclub.shuttlestats.app — your club's home on the web from day one.
Your colours, your logo, your icon on the member's home screen.
Straight to the home screen with your club's own app icon — no app store, no download — and the same app works full-size on desktop.
Get found, automatically
Most clubs are invisible online — a Meetup or Facebook group nobody quite finds. Every ShuttleStats club gets a real presence on the web the day it goes live, built so search engines and AI assistants can read it. New players find you and book their first session without you lifting a finger.
Your club, your sessions and your venue are published in a way search engines can read — so you can be found when someone searches for badminton near you, instead of being invisible online.
Built to be read by ChatGPT and the new AI search tools too — so “where can I play badminton in our town?” can point someone to you.
A public, growing list of real clubs on ShuttleStats — another front door for players looking for somewhere to play, with nothing to maintain.
Off by default — nothing’s public until you switch it on. Keep private or junior session details to yourself, and opt out of the directory entirely whenever you like.
Why a platform, not a weekend project
A booking form is a weekend's work. A club night that actually runs needs the unglamorous engineering underneath — built, proven on real nights at The Badminton Collective, and still improving.
Walled off from every other club. Play at two clubs and you get a separate profile in each — and you choose whether your stats are public.
Members pay by card and the money lands straight in your club's own Stripe account — never ours. No subscription — a small fee only on paid bookings.
Matchmaking, courts and scoring on one screen — two admins can score at once, and nothing's lost if a tablet drops offline. Every score becomes a stat.
Your club gets a public listing that opens straight into its own app — so new players browsing for somewhere to play can find you.
And it compounds. When we ship a feature for one club, every club gets it — you're joining a product that keeps improving. It's also the part your members love — see what they get ↓
FOR PLAYERS
It's about your progress, not a leaderboard. Every player gets a personal picture of their game — your form, your streaks, your best wins, built from games you actually played. And for those who want to compete, there's a rating that rewards who you actually beat, not just how often you turn up.
Your stats and your tiered, rarity-ranked badges — earned a game at a time, never typed in. Rarest unlocked: Untouchable · earned by 4 of 40 players.
The night's summary — who played, who climbed.
Love it? Your club can run on this.
We run our first club on it — and we're looking for the next few. Get your own stats the moment your club joins — so forward us to whoever runs your nights.

What's new
Pressure-tested on club nights at The Badminton Collective. Here's what shipped recently.
We put every release under real club-night load — dozens of players, every court busy, games scored live as the night runs. Testing at full scale surfaces what demos never do, and it has driven big improvements to the experience on the floor.
Members can book their spot, pay by card with Stripe, and manage credits — all in one place. Live now at The Badminton Collective, where real members are booking and playing.
Google sign-in, claim your player profile, pick an avatar — Google portrait, your own photo, or a classic monogram — and a personal greeting on home.
The tablet is on court — your game shows up, you record your own score when it ends, and achievements pop up live as the night unfolds.
