OnOrNot App Used at Putney Lawn Tennis Club

Submitted with the approval of the Putney Committee by Nick Vivian 

I have been playing tennis for 35 years and really got into doubles recently. Doubles is so fun when you have four players of a similar standard. The app was created to minimise the time and effort of organising doubles, whilst encouraging players to take time out of their busy workday while working from home, and squeeze in some valuable exercise.

I'm running a team at the club and find the data very valuable to find out who plays best with who. The app also rewards players who are keen and will match the keen players up with the better players.

I am widowed with three kids, and a full-time job, so efficiency is the key! The games are snapped up really quickly because players know they are only invited to a game they would like to play.

For a number of years, PLTC has been using the OnOrNot app to organise games / tournaments and to book courts and log scores.

Members have helped with the design of the app which matches similar standard tennis players together for the best games.
