Create, review, and publish a saved game

Plan publicly and create durable account-owned game data only at publication.

For: Hosts

Before you start: requirements and access
  • A court or manual venue, future schedule, and intended capacity. An account is required to publish.

Steps

  1. Open Create game. In Plan, enter the game name, court/address, date, and start/end times. For temporary courtside play instead, choose Start Quick Play beside Continue to players at the bottom of this first step.
  2. In Players and access, set player capacity, court count, visibility, and approval policy. New games start with a player limit of 4; you can change it. Drafts and replayed games keep their existing limit. Choose Decide later, Free, or Collect payment; Collect payment records intent only, with price and instructions set afterward in Game settings → Payments. The form supports 2–40 players and 1–20 courts; actual Play has additional eligibility requirements.
  3. Use optional Details for color, player notes, and booking information, or continue without them.
  4. Read Review and use Edit to correct an earlier stage. Signed-out hosts choose the authentication option here; return to the restored Review and explicitly publish.
  5. After publication, use Share game, Show QR, or Preview shared link for public/link-only games. Private games direct you to account invitations instead.
