The badminton club-night app
Run the club. Still get to play.
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.
Thursday club night
3 courts · 14 playing · 4 on the bench

The board proposes the next pairing — you approve it, or override it.

Real club, real nights
Built and proven with our founding club, The Badminton Collective — real members, real games, real money, every week.
Proven before it ships
Every release goes under a real club night before it reaches anyone else. What ships is what survived a full hall.
How it works
How a night runs
Two screens, one night: the board on your phone, and a tablet courtside for the players.
· on your phone
riverside.shuttlestats.app · tablet
The board on your phone
Run the room from your hand — pairings, courts, the bench and every override, live on the night.
A courtside tablet, run by the players
Every club night runs on a tablet propped by the courts, and the players run it themselves: it shows who is on, what they are playing to, and the results so far. When a game ends a player taps that court and records the score, and it goes straight into everyone’s stats — nobody types the night up afterwards, and nobody has to stand at the board all evening. It stays in step with the organiser’s phone, so the two never disagree.
Members book and pay in the app
A member opens a session and sees the date, the venue and a map, the options and prices, and the cancellation terms — then books in one tap, paying by card or from the session credit they already hold with the club. Capacity, the waiting list and refunds on cancellation are handled for them. No one is chased for money, and no organiser has to be the bank.

For organisers
Run the room from your phone
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.

Lean to variety
You play everyone — fresh partners and opponents all night.
Lean to close games
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.
The first couple of weeks the pairings feel rougher while it learns who’s who — tell your regulars first, so it’s expected, not a surprise.
What your club gets back
The week stops running on you.
Get paid before the night
Members book and pay in advance — the money is in before anyone steps on court.
No more Sunday-night spreadsheet
Bookings, courts and scoring run themselves — no list to wrangle before each session.
Fewer no-shows
A paid booking still covers the court — and a clear list means people turn up.
Your club's app
Every club gets its own app
Every club on ShuttleStats gets its own app at its own address — yourclub.shuttlestats.app — carrying the club’s own colours, logo and home-screen icon, which members install in two taps with no app store and no download. It is one platform themed per club rather than a separate build each, which is why a club gets it on day one and why every improvement reaches every club at once.

Get found, automatically
New players find your club — while you sleep
Most clubs are invisible online — a Meetup thread or a Facebook group nobody quite finds. Every ShuttleStats club can have a real presence on the web from the day it goes live: its own address, a page for each session it runs and the venue it plays at, published so that search engines and AI assistants can read them, plus a listing in the public Clubs Directory. It is opt-in and off until the club switches it on, private and junior sessions can be kept back, and a club can leave the directory whenever it likes — but once it is on, new players can find the club and book their first session without an organiser lifting a finger.
Findable on Google
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.
Findable by AI assistants
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.
Listed in the Clubs Directory
A public, growing list of real clubs on ShuttleStats — another front door for players looking for somewhere to play, with nothing to maintain.
You decide if you’re listed
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.
The Clubs Directory is live
Every club on ShuttleStats that has opted in, with the sessions they have coming up.
Why a platform, not a weekend project
You could build the easy 10%. The hard 90% is already done.
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.

Each club’s data stays its own
Every club’s players, games, bookings and money are stored separately from every other club’s, and no club can see another’s. Anyone who plays at two clubs gets a separate profile in each, with separate stats, and decides in each club on its own whether theirs is public — a choice made at your Tuesday club is not a choice made anywhere else.
Payments that reconcile
Card payments, refunds, credit balances, cancellations and a club’s own Stripe onboarding — the half of a booking system that has to be right every time, not just on the happy path.
A live board that holds
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.
A listing that maintains itself
Your address, a page for every session and the machine-readable detail behind them, regenerated whenever your schedule changes — so nothing goes stale and there is nothing to keep updating by hand.
And it compounds. When we ship a feature for one club, every club gets it — you’re joining a product that keeps improving.
For players
However you play, you'll see your game grow.
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.
- See your own progress — your form, streaks and biggest upsets, a picture that’s just yours. No ranking required.
- A rating, for those who want one — it rewards beating strong players over racking up easy wins, and reads your form, not just your win count.
- Rankings, only if your club turns them on — and your own stats can stay private.

How the money works
Every club connects its own Stripe account and stays the merchant of record for its own takings. Members pay on Stripe’s own payment form, so card details go straight to Stripe and never reach ShuttleStats. Each payment is created directly on the club’s Stripe account, so the money lands in the club’s own Stripe balance and pays out to the club’s own bank — ShuttleStats never holds or pools club money, and that includes the session credit a member tops up and any refund the club issues. What ShuttleStats charges is a flat platform fee on the payments members make, agreed with the club up front and taken by Stripe out of that same payment: there is no subscription, no monthly cost and no percentage of your takings, and a session with nothing to pay raises no payment at all and so carries no fee. A club can absorb that fee or pass it on to the member — and where it is passed on, the member sees it in the total before they pay.
