Create a group for your crew

A private home for your club or Tuesday-night regulars: channels, threaded chat, a roster, and events spun up from the group in one tap.

  1. 1

    Create the group

    Open Community and press New group. Give it a Group name and a Description, then choose Visibility: Private (join by code or QR only, the default) or Public (anyone can find it in the directory). Press Create group. A General channel is created for you.

    Visibility cannot be changed later, so decide now. Public groups are discoverable, but people still need your invite link to get in.

    Invite people

    The invite card at the top of the group shows a QR code, the group's code and Copy link. Send the link or let people scan the code; they sign in and are in as members. Under Members, entering an email and pressing Invite adds that address straight away; the person sees the group the next time they sign in with it.

    Talk in channels

    Owners and admins can Add channel to split chat by topic (up to 20). Write in Write a message… and press Send; Shift+Enter adds a line. Attach a photo with the image button. Links are clickable, and the first YouTube or Instagram link in a message embeds a player. Press Reply under a message to start a thread. You can Edit your own messages; owners and admins can Delete anyone's.

    Messages can be up to 4,000 characters and refresh every few seconds while the tab is open.

    Roles and the roster

    In Members, the shield icon toggles Make admin / Remove admin; admins can invite, manage channels and moderate. The Roster is your regular players, who do not need an account: Add player by name, optionally Link DUPR profile, and mark who is in the weekly lineup. Only the owner can Delete group.

    Start an event from the group

    Owners and admins see Start an event at the top of the group, which opens the new-event form. Groups running a weekly game also get an Upcoming games card with drafted sessions to Publish, Edit or Skip this week.

Join a group

Groups are invite-only by design. Here is how to get in and what you can do once you are.

Create your first tournament

A tournament is an event page players register on, with one or more divisions (brackets) attached. You can have the whole thing live in about two minutes.
