Club Rankings is a club-scoped engagement and seeding system. Standings are valid only inside your club, per sport — not a global rating like DUPR or UTR.
| Type | How Club Play matches players | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Round robin | Full schedule at Start live; fixed teams rotate or random mix spreads partners | Nights where everyone knows the schedule up front |
| King of the court | Winners stay (fixed/singles) with a challenger queue; random mix fully re-pairs each round | Open play or social remix nights |
| Ladder | Adjacent ranks from a live ladder; upsets swap places | Season-rank challenge nights |
| Swiss | Each round pairs by tonight's record (wins, then point diff); fills courts; avoids rematches when possible | Large fields that should stay competitive round to round |

Sport-specific presets apply when rankings are first enabled for a section (e.g. Pickleball vs Tennis weights).
Three related layers inside Club Rankings (see also who does what):
/club-play and one dated play event inside a mini-league (day or evening): member signup, live courts, game-by-game scores; standings update when you complete it.Handoff: Admin creates the mini-league and assigns captains → captain creates each Club Play → members sign up and play → captain completes scoring → everyone reads Mini-leagues / Sessions.
A mini-league is a club-scoped season within one sport — often six months with eligibility rules. Admins create mini-leagues, assign mini-league captains to enter results, and may link event registration pages so sign-ups respect eligibility.
Archived mini-leagues stay in history but disappear from public pick lists. For the full signup → scores → results workflow, see the Mini-league Playbook (PDF).
Each ranked player receives a personal rankings wallet when they join a sport roster or register for a linked event:
/rankings-wallet to confirm session scores (scan at courtside).View your QR and re-print from My ranking. Admins can Regenerate wallet QR + 4-digit code on the member profile if a card is lost.
/rankings-wallet) — courtside confirm with sport + 4-digit code; no full sign-in required on a shared tablet.When a member submits session results, every participant must confirm (or dispute) before standings update — unless your admin sets majority rule. Admins can also enter results directly (no confirmation needed).
/rankings-wallet or Confirm tab), personal link (email), or the signed-in Confirm tab.On your community site: /rankings. If your admin set visibility to Public, anyone can view the Leaderboard tab without signing in. All other tabs — Sessions, Mini-leagues, club stats, My ranking, submit, and confirm — require sign-in. Tenant admins see Admin and Captain tabs, plus site nav Club Play and an Admin-page Club Play link next to Club Rankings.
Anyone interested in Club Rankings can open shared Training (fictional players only) from clubcourtmanager.com/platform/rankings or https://your-sports-club.clubcourtmanager.com/rankings-scenario. Choose Member, Captain, or Administrator on the welcome screen — see Part 8.
Screenshots below were captured from the shared demo sandbox (sample data; resets hourly). Your community's branding and standings will differ.
Browse completed club sessions for the selected sport (including Club Play nights). Click a row to see per-player scores for that session.
View standings for an active mini-league — choose your sport, open the Mini-leagues tab, and pick a league from the dropdown. If none is listed, your admin has not created one yet. See the playbook View results section for a full walkthrough.
Community-wide stats: active players, sessions played, top performers, recent activity — useful for board reports.
When your admin enables club rating for this sport, you may see two numbers on the same 1.0–5.5 scale:
Recent sessions may show a club rating change (e.g. +0.04) alongside performance point changes.
Your personal summary: total points with a full category breakdown (performance, participation, volunteer, sportsmanship), wins/losses, streaks, achievements earned, and your last 20 completed sessions (click any session for per-player scores). Also shows your rankings wallet QR and reminds you to keep your 4-digit confirm code (shown once when issued). You can opt to hide your profile from the leaderboard with the privacy checkbox.
/club-play; members watch only — peer confirm does not apply. See Playbook §4 — When to use which.
Sessions waiting for your confirmation appear here when signed in. You can also:

Admin → Mini-leagues panel — create and manage season-style leagues.
Rankings-only tenants see court booking hidden; roster and import still available. Full CCM tenants also book courts, run event registration (Part 5), and may log ranking sessions from the admin schedule — when a schedule block has an event registration page, its Log rankings button opens the Events participants flow so results are scored in one place.

Full CCM admins can also import members via Admin → Members (CourtReserve-style CSV) — that populates sign-in accounts; use Rankings Import for historical scores.
Full CCM communities (and rankings-only tenants with events enabled) can run public registration pages from Admin → Events.
/event?code=…) or QR code.Members sign in, open the event link, and click Register. If they do not meet mini-league eligibility, the page explains why registration is blocked. The event page shows the linked mini-league name and rules when applicable.
After the event, open the event in Admin → Events → Enter rankings from roster. Players who registered are pre-filled; enter wins, losses, points, and placement, then save. Standings update for the linked mini-league and the club-wide board.
Mini-league captains are members assigned to enter official results for one or more mini-leagues — without full admin rights.

Club Play (/club-play) is one dated play event inside a mini-league (day or evening) — captains and tenant admins create it and enter live court scores (phone or desktop); members sign up via the shared link and watch scores (they do not enter or peer-confirm games during the night). Open it from site nav Club Play, Rankings → Captain → Run Club Play, or Admin → Club Play. At Start live, optionally set Number of rounds (blank = round-robin default length, or unlimited king of the court / ladder / Swiss until End session). After completion, game-by-game scores appear on the Sessions tab. For casual play without Club Play, members use Submit results (§1.6) with peer confirm instead. Roles: who does what. Detail: Mini-league Playbook §4; Captain manual.
Live pairings (who plays whom) are driven by format, court count, signup order, partner mode, game scores, and (for ladder and Swiss round 1) mini-league standings seed — not by weight sliders, age handicap, or skill rating. Scoring weights apply when a session is completed: each player gets a weighted performance score that feeds mini-league and club-wide standings. Session placement for king of the court, round robin, and Swiss uses wins, then point differential, then a weighted tiebreaker (same weights as your club, excluding placement). Ladder sessions use final ladder order for placement. How each format matches players: Playbook §4.4. Placement detail: Playbook §4.5.
/club-play) — signup, live courts, and game-by-game scores for one dated event.Standalone Club Rankings does not include an in-app upgrade wizard. To add court booking later, contact support@stoufferai.com — your tenant, members, and ranking history can be moved to full Club Court Manager without starting over.
$19/month includes 150 active members. 14-day free trial at clubcourtmanager.com/start?product=rankings. Manage subscription in Admin → Billing. Full CCM uses the court-based plan ($40 up to 6 courts, +$5 each additional, unlimited members).
Training is a shared practice environment for Club Rankings on the demo host. It uses fictional players and sessions only — nothing is saved to your club and your real roster is never touched. No sign-in is required. Training does not include court booking; the full CCM demo (courts + rooms) is a separate entry at /login.
Training runs at one shared URL (not on each community's own domain):
https://your-sports-club.clubcourtmanager.com/rankings-scenarioclubcourtmanager.com/platform/rankings → Try Traininghttps://your-sports-club.clubcourtmanager.com/rankings-scenarioIf you bookmarked /rankings-scenario on your own club site, you are redirected to the shared Training URL automatically. CCM's full court-booking demo remains at …/login?fresh=1.
The welcome screen asks you to pick one perspective. You can switch roles anytime from the banner at the top (Training as Member / Captain / Administrator). Each role shows only what that role can do on a real club.
| Role | What you practice |
|---|---|
| Member | Browse fictional leaderboards and sessions; preview email/text notifications; sign up and practice entering scores on a live Club Play court (Training only — on a real club, members watch; captains enter scores) |
| Captain | Run Club Play (signup → live courts → scores); enter session results for a mini-league — not club-wide Admin → Settings |
| Administrator | Adjust club-wide weight presets with side-by-side leaderboard compare; full Club Play host tools |
To see admin-only tools (club-wide weight sliders), exit Training and choose Administrator on the welcome screen. Captains do not get the Settings tab in Training.
Captains practice volunteer chair workflows:
Club-wide weight sliders (Admin → Settings) are not included in the Captain view. Switch to Administrator on the welcome screen to preview those.
Administrators get both Settings and Club Play practice tabs. Settings includes all club-wide weight sliders — win %, placement, point diff, opponent/partner strength, optional age handicap (weight, baseline, spread), participation bonus, weekly caps, and more.
The Weight Lab on Settings shows component math for 8 fixed players in one fictional session (win %, placement, point diff, opponent/partner strength, age). Move the sliders and watch Score and Adj update instantly so you can see why a weight mattered. Season compare boards below the lab still show multi-session standings for the selected scenario.
Use the Scenario dropdown to load teaching presets. Each preset loads sample sessions and recommended starting weights for that format or sport:
| Preset | Best for |
|---|---|
| Mixed league (Pickleball) | Weekly club nights — alternating round robin and king of the court |
| King of the Court | Placement-heavy formats when courts rotate |
| Round robin league | Win rate and point differential emphasized |
| Ladder mini-league | Season-long ladder with placement-focused weights |
| Bocce placement focus | Bocce sport preset — placement dominates |
| Tennis club preset | Tennis sport weight preset |
Fictional players appear in every scenario preset for the Settings tab (four core characters). Club Play practice uses a separate pool of 24 fictional players.
Walk through a full fictional session with 24 players (alternating men and women for mixed-doubles practice). Captains and administrators run the host flow:
Members in Training can sign up and enter scores on a pre-started live round but cannot start, complete, or reset sessions. That participant score entry is for practice in the sandbox only — it does not match a real Club Play night, where only the captain or admin enters scores.
Full format guide (choice + pairing method for each option) → Mini-league Playbook §4.4.
When you are satisfied with weights in Training (Administrator role):
Mini-league captains who use custom mini-league weights should ask an admin to preview club-wide weight behavior in Training (Administrator role), then apply overrides on the Captain tab for their mini-league only.
The Mini-league Playbook is the canonical end-to-end guide for members, captains, and admins — sign up for Club Play, post scores (live or manual), and view mini-league standings. Download the PDF to share at league kickoff.
