Mobile-First Lineup Builder for Serious Captains

Why Laptops and Courtside Don’t Mix

When you are at the facility 30 minutes before first serve, the last thing you want is a bulky laptop balanced on a picnic table as you rearrange Court 3 because your singles star pulled a hamstring in warm-ups. Yet generations of captains have done exactly that, or worse—they scribble adjustments on a lineup card with a half-dead pen and hope they do not violate an NTRP rule. Mobile lineup apps exist, but many feel like clumsy desktop ports: tiny buttons, hidden save icons, and no offline mode in case clubhouse Wi-Fi drops.

Designed for Fingers, Not Trackpads

Our lineup builder starts on a canvas sized for phone screens. Each court appears as a tile; each available player shows as a colored chip displaying name, NTRP, and current season record. Drag and drop chips onto courts. Need to swap two doubles players? Press and hold to switch their positions instantly—no delete-and-retype dance.

Because the builder lives inside the same ecosystem that tracks availability, your chip tray displays only confirmed players by default, with a toggle to show maybes. A subtle red border warns you when too many Yes players already hit their league-mandated match limit. Tap the info icon to view each competitor’s eligibility notes, medical alerts, or personal preferences (e.g., ‘prefers ad side’).

Compliance Engine Baked In

USTA regulations can feel like a minefield: gender lines in mixed, age in Senior leagues, NTRP stacking penalties in combo leagues. Every time you drop a player into a court slot, our compliance engine runs 200+ checks in milliseconds. If anything fails—say, a 3.5 doubles pair sits above two 4.0 pairs—the court tile flashes amber with an on-screen explanation. Fix the violation before you hit Publish. Forget about memorizing rule PDFs or praying the coordinator does not cite you for an illegal lineup next week.

Publish Once—Reach Everyone

Hit Publish and the lineup sends instantly to your players through push notification, in-app chat, and—if selected—email. Only the players on court receive full details; other teammates see an abbreviated version. That privacy reduces chatter and saves bench players from needless disappointment. You can even delay publication until a specific time, so your team learns the matchups simultaneously, maintaining morale and strategy secrecy.

How Captains Use It in the Wild

• Last-Minute Subs: Rain delays push start times back an hour; swap in your early-bird player and republish in seconds.
• Dynamic Coaching: Track live scores (entered by bench captain) and decide whether to stack stronger in doubles two based on first-set results.
• Post-Match Analytics: The lineup locks to prevent edits and feeds directly into your stats dashboard—no manual tagging.

Tangible Benefits

Teams using the mobile lineup builder report a 42 % reduction in illegal lineup fines and a 22 % improvement in overall win percentage, credited to less day-of chaos and better strategic pairings. Captains love that they can build or edit lineups while waiting for coffee, commuting on public transit, or even between sets.
