You've put in years at your court. Everybody there knows your game. Nobody outside that run has ever seen a score, a stat, or any proof it happened.
READYPLAY keeps the record — a tap-to-score live board built for bright sun, fast possessions, and a scorekeeper who never fights the app.
In-app art from a real pickup—sun, lines, and the score sheet you actually tap.
Sports on the same engine
Basketball is the deepest live vertical today—shot nuance, rich boards, and leaderboards that match how serious pickup is played. Other sports ramp at different depths on the same trusted rails. Tap a sticker to jump to that sport’s story.
The problem
You played your best game of the year last Tuesday. The only proof is in someone's head. By the weekend, the group chat has buried it under logistics — same questions, different thread, every single week.
Same questions. Different threads. Every week.
The fix
The run you played last Saturday — scores, who kept the book, who locked down the paint — it's all there. Next Saturday at a different park, it still is.
Every game closes with a reviewed score and signed-off lineups. No more disputed finishes.
The people you played with rate your game — speed, D, morale. Nobody self-promotes.
Stats attach to the park they happened at. Your leaderboard is everyone who runs there.
Show up at a new court. Your OVR and run history come with you — already earned.
Sideline speed
One tap per basket. The scorekeeper stays in the game — not buried in a menu. Fouls on every player tile, quick undo for honest mistakes, optional shot spots where the sport demands nuance. The book closes before the last player leaves the court.
Live everywhere
CloudKit broadcasts the score the moment it changes — no invite required to follow a live game. Apple Watch puts the live board on the wrist. Lock Screen Live Activity keeps the clock front-and-center with the phone in the bag. When the margin hits two, a clutch-time indicator fires. Nobody has to ask 'what's the score?' in a group chat again.
Real places
Stats attach to the park they happened at. Your leaderboard is everyone who runs at that same spot. Play Sites anchor the run to a real map pin — not a vague thread — so history, weather context, and court standings all point to the same place.
Leaderboards
Home ships a real leaderboard — not followers, not likes. Scoring streaks, shot-style splits, win runs, block grades. Ranked against the specific people you actually play with at your court.
No engagement algorithm. No sponsored positions. The order is determined by finished, reviewed games — and nothing else.

Achievement Hall
A Clutch badge means you held a 4-run win streak — and your peers verified every game in it. Not a participation trophy. Not grinding fake tasks. Every badge is grounded in finished, reviewed runs.
Four rarity tiers — Common through Prestige — across profile badges, park medals, milestone trophies, timed challenges, activity streaks, and shareable calling cards. Basketball carries the deepest catalog today; every other sport earns its own rows as each shell matures.
Badge catalog
28 badges across four tiers. Basketball has the most today. Other sports unlock their own catalog as each shell matures on the platform.

Add to Apple Wallet — tap to verify without opening the app
A single number that moves when you play — not when you spend more time in the app. Scoring, shot style, defensive contributions, and peer reviews all feed it.
Each one built from real game events and peer reviews. Your Screens grade comes from teammates who noticed the pick. Your Morale grade comes from people who actually played with you — not from a form you filled out.
See whether you play better at home or away, evenings versus mornings, full court versus half. Conduct grade and popularity meter surface how the community rates competing alongside you — not just against you.
Apple Watch
The READYPLAY Watch app puts the full scoreboard on your wrist during live games — tap +1, +2, or +3 without touching your phone. After your run, it knows how hard you worked: HealthKit feeds heart rate and active energy, Core Motion calibration models your stride and effort so your fitness data actually reflects what happened on court.
Wrist scoring
+1, +2, and +3 buttons with both team names and the live score shown directly on the Apple Watch face — no phone required.
Lock Screen / Live Activity
Pin the live game to your Lock Screen. A clutch alert fires automatically when the margin hits three.
HealthKit integration
Heart rate, resting HR, VO2 max, and active energy are fed from Apple Health into your player profile after every session.
Core Motion calibration
Run a calibration session on court. Stride length and effort baseline are measured by Core Motion and stored to your profile.
Effort context
After games, workouts show real distance, heart-rate zones, and an effort rating — not a generic "workout" event.
Tap +1, +2, or +3 — the score updates live on both Watch and iPhone.
Every Apple platform
Whether you're keeping score on your Watch, sharing the live board on iPhone, or watching the broadcast on iPad — READYPLAY keeps the whole crew in the game.
Score from your wrist. +1, +2, +3 without touching your phone.
Full tap board, live scores, leaderboards, and your player record.
Spectate in broadcast mode. Wide-screen stats for the whole crew.
How it works
Eight beats. Every Saturday run you've ever played already follows this arc. Now it leaves a record.
Drop the run at a real Play Site — a named court with a map pin, weather context, and its own leaderboard. No more 'same spot as last week.'
Open the game, send join requests, watch RSVPs come in. Saturday starts on time because the bench was confirmed Friday night.
Someone keeps an honest book and everyone competes harder because the record is real. That role gets recognized — credits, reputation, the whole system runs on it.
Big player tiles, one tap per basket, fouls on every row, quick undo. The scorekeeper never looks up from the game.
Apple Watch and Live Activity put the score exactly where attention already is — on the wrist and the lock screen. The phone stays in the bag.
Rate who you played with. Lock the score everyone saw. The record is signed, sealed, and attached to your profiles before anyone leaves the court.
Home boards update. Clutch badges land. Streak milestones get marked. Credits go to the scorekeeper automatically when the run finishes on record.
When hire flows ship, your reputation from steps 1–7 is what earns you a listing. Paid pickup stays earned, not spam. Pickup itself stays free by default.
A real run, start to finish
One court. One organizer. Ten players. Here's how a pickup run goes from idea to permanent record — and how READYPLAY gets its first foothold at a new park.
How does a court get started? One person posts one run. That's it. The leaderboard, the history, the reputation — all of it builds from the first game. Marcus is that person at Lincoln Park.
Marcus opens READYPLAY, picks Lincoln Park Court 2, sets tip-off for Saturday 10am, caps the roster at 10. Done in under a minute.
He taps six regulars. They each get a notification with the court, time, and a one-tap accept. No group chat thread. No "you coming?" follow-ups.
Five accepted, one declined — Marcus adds a fill from the park's watcher list. Saturday starts on time because the bench was locked the night before.
Deja volunteers as scorekeeper. She's not on either team — just the most organized person at the court. Big player tiles, one tap per basket, fouls tracked with who-called / who-committed. She never looks up.
Two players who couldn't make it watch the score on their Lock Screen — real-time, no app open required. When the margin hits 2 with one possession left, the Live Activity shows a clutch-time indicator.
Game ends 21–17. Everyone rates the players they guarded. Speed, defense, morale, teamwork — each attribute goes to the profile of the person who earned it. The score locks. No one disputes it.
Everyone's OVR shifts. Marcus climbs the Lincoln Park leaderboard. Deja earns scorekeeper credits automatically — no claim required. The game fingerprint is stored. That run now has a permanent record.
Next Saturday
Marcus posts the run again. Three new players show up. The leaderboard has two weeks of history. By month two, Lincoln Park Court 2 has its own standings, its own regulars, its own streak holders. The community built itself — one run at a time.

Win Predictor
Before the game starts, READYPLAY runs a win probability model on both lineups — blending peer-reviewed attributes, finishing rates, discipline signals, and familiarity bonuses from every prior game those exact teammates have played together. It's not a guess. It's pattern recognition from your actual history.
Peer Attributes
Defense, finishing, shot-making — rated by people you actually played against.
Familiarity Bonus
Teammates who've run together before get a synergy multiplier.
Finishing Rate
Your real shooting conversion from tracked shot events.

Every READYPLAY player has a shareable Wallet card with their QR. No app needed to show it — it lives right on their phone.
Open the scanner, point at their card. Their full public profile loads in one second — ready before you even pick sides.
OVR rating, peer-reviewed attributes, win streak, and conduct grade — all right there before you pick teams.
From the court
Reactions from early beta sessions — composite voices representing what people actually experience the first time a run closes on record.
“First time we ran it, the foul log killed every argument before it started. Who called it, who committed it — right there. Nobody left heated.”
Regular, Tuesday nights
“I've been keeping score on paper for three years. This is the first time anyone noticed — and the first time I got something for it. Credits hit the second the game closed.”
Scorekeeper, weekend pickup
“I used to send seventeen 'you coming?' texts before every game. Now I post the run, send join requests, and the bench fills itself. Saturday starts on time.”
Organizer, Thursday runs
“Showed up at a park I'd never been to. Added my name, played, got reviewed. My OVR from three other courts came with me. Didn't have to prove anything.”
Player, new to the park
“I watched the whole game from my lock screen. Score, clock, who scored last. When it went to a two-point game I got a clutch-time notification. Better than being there.”
Spectator, couldn't make it
“The leaderboard at my home court is the most competitive thing I've been a part of. And nobody's getting paid. Everyone just wants to be on top.”

Coach / session lead
Squad total
$115
A General Manager posts a game and sets a budget. Players who have listed themselves as available — with their rate or free — show up in the booking list, sorted by OVR, conduct grade, and court history.
The GM picks the squad, including a coach if the run needs one. Each player accepts or declines. Confirmed slots lock in. When the run closes and the game is peer-verified, payment flows.
Trust-gated booking
Players and coaches can only list through verified history. No cold spam.
Mixed rosters
Free and paid slots can coexist on the same team. A player's choice, not the GM's override.
Apple Pay + escrow
Payment holds until the run closes. Nobody gets stiffed. Nobody ghosts.
Cancellation rules
Late cancellations cost something. The platform respects everyone's time — including the player who already showed up.
Paid bookings and Apple Pay escrow are still landing. Players can already mark availability and set rates. GMs can post runs and fill rosters now. Payment flows follow as the trust graph matures.
Mark yourself available, join a posted run, and play. No money changes hands. The classic pickup experience — but now your stats, your OVR, and your conduct grade follow you.
You decide what you're worth. Set a per-game rate, mark yourself open to bookings, and let GMs find you. Accept or decline each request. Your OVR and conduct grade are the resume — no pitch required.
Post a game, fill every roster spot, and pay the whole court through the app. Hire a coach per session, book players individually, or mix paid and free slots however you want. You run the run.
For leagues & organizations
Most leagues track scores in notebooks, text threads, and spreadsheets that nobody updates after week three. READYPLAY gives every commissioner, coach, and player a live stat record — verified, portable, and free to start.

✕Scores tracked in paper scorebooks
✓Every game produces a digital record the moment the scorekeeper taps the last point.
✕Player stats disappear after the season
✓Stats live on each player's portable profile — they travel to next season, next league, next venue.
✕No way to track individual development
✓Coaches see every player's game log, attribute arc, and conduct grade across the full season.
✕Public standings require a separate website
✓Share a public link — anyone sees the standings and top players without downloading anything.
Create an organization profile. Name it, pick the sport and season. Set it public (anyone can find it) or private (invite only). Takes under two minutes.
Coaches receive an invite from the Commissioner and register their roster. Players join via invite link — existing accounts link automatically, new players start a profile.
Every game produces a verified stat record on each player's portable profile. No entry required after the fact — the scorekeeper's tap board is the stat sheet.
Live league dashboard: team standings, top performers, individual game logs, season averages. Exportable. Shareable via public link — no account needed to view.
Weekly lanes, seasonal averages, high game, high series, strike rate. Bowling leagues have been stuck in paper scorebooks for decades. READYPLAY gives every bowler a digital record — the commissioner gets a dashboard on day one.
Pickup meets organized. Scorekeepers already exist. Stats are wanted but hard to collect. READYPLAY closes that loop — every game produces a verified record coaches and players can point to.
Organized teams, weekly games, real rosters — and no affordable stats platform. READYPLAY brings the full game record: who played, what happened, and how each player graded out.
Club and rec leagues share the same problem. READYPLAY's match shell, play site anchor, and peer review system give volleyball commissioners the infrastructure they've been building in spreadsheets.

Credits & getting paid
Not just the players who win. The scorekeeper who kept the honest book. The trainer who showed up at 7am. The ref who called it straight. The organizer who filled the bench by Friday night. READYPLAY sees the whole court — and credits everyone who makes it run.
Kept an honest book all season. Credits land automatically when the run closes on record. The entire platform runs on this role — it gets recognized first.
Win streaks, clutch runs, personal milestones. Every finished, reviewed game feeds your credits and your record. Showing up and competing is enough.
Call the fouls. Keep the peace. A verified ref with a conduct grade and game history is worth hiring — and the platform knows it.
Post games, fill benches, run the league. Every Saturday that starts on time is because someone did this work. Paid organizer roles unlock through the trust graph.
Court ecosystem
Trainers, coaches, therapists, and sports medicine professionals connect to real player profiles with real game history. No cold outreach. No unverifiable claims.
Credits and scorekeeper recognition ship in the current build. Paid hire, wallet flows, and professional marketplace listings are still landing — every listing will be earned through the verified trust graph, not spam.
Parts of READYPLAY
Seven surfaces—trust, live runs, reputation, places, credits, marketplace, and the feed layer—working together across every sport you already play.
Sign in with Apple, optional verification, post-game reviews, and fairness built for real communities. Your record is what people who actually played with you say it is.
Tap-to-score on the live board—big team rows, quick taps, optional shot spot and styles where the sport supports it, fouls on every player tile, merged history, and an undo window for honest mistakes. Apple Watch and Live Activity keep friends in sync; CloudKit broadcast brings spectators along.
OVR-style presence, stats that reflect real games, home leaderboards, Achievement Hall, challenges, and prestige—so pickup carries the same respect as the score.
Play Sites anchor runs to real courts. Create games, recruit with join requests, league standings, and discovery so Saturday starts on time instead of in seventeen 'you coming?' texts.
Earn credits for roles like scorekeeping—neutral book is sacred work. StoreKit bundles are on deck when you want more in-app points; the economy stays play-first, not pretend crypto.
On-demand play: post a spot, set your rate, or play for free — your call. General Managers can assemble and pay a full squad including a coach. Players list availability and pricing, GMs book and pay through the app. Apple Pay and escrow land when paid flows ship. Free by default; paid listings are earned through trust and history.
Newspaper-style digest, spectator live scoreboard, follow, messaging, and waitlist queues—how you hear about runs, watch from afar, and stay in touch once the graph is dense enough to deserve them.
Identity and record
Your games, reviews, and roles attach to one stable player identity — the same identity that carries cryptographic fingerprints today and optional on-chain anchoring tomorrow. Here's exactly what ships when.
Every finished run generates a SHA-256 hash of the final lineups, scores, and roster — a tamper-evident seal on that exact result. Copy it from any completed game summary under "Proof & integrity."
Your profile carries a persistent digital ID across every game and season. The same five players always produce the same lineup fingerprint — deterministic identity for your squad, not a disposable group chat.
READYPLAY includes a full ExtensionKit identity document provider built to the ISO 18013-7 standard — the same spec used for mobile driver's licenses. When issuer credentials are live, your verified player profile becomes presentable to any venue or league that supports the standard. No app required on their end.
The fingerprint payload is already structured for blockchain submission. When wallet signing ships, you'll be able to anchor any finished game's hash on-chain — optional, permanent, verifiable by anyone. Your pickup stats deserve that upgrade path.
On-chain minting and wallet signing are a deliberate next chapter — not something claimed live in the app today. The infrastructure is there when the chapter opens.
In the app
A closer look at the screens players and organizers use most—from the live tap board to the leaderboard after the run.
Home at a glance—live runs nearby, current conditions, and your leaderboard standing all on one screen.
Tap any player tile to log a make, miss, or foul. Big rows, quick swipes, optional shot spot and style—the book stays honest even in bright sun.
Drag players into position before tip-off. Each tile shows the player's rating so balanced matchups happen before the whistle, not after.
Scroll through scoring, threes, layups, win streaks, and more—each ranked against the people you actually played with.
Achievement Hall—park medals, milestone trophies, timed challenges, and prestige levels earned from finished, reviewed games.
Your OVR card: overall rating, 10 attributes, split stats by court and conditions, conduct grade, and a reputation built by the people you played with.
The finished record—final score, player stat breakdown, shot map, and the integrity check that locks the run in place.
Play Sites pins real parks—pick from map or list, see who's playing now, and start a game anchored to an actual court.
Credits earned for scorekeeping and neutral roles—the bench economy that recognizes the labor keeping pickup honest.
CloudKit broadcast keeps followers on the same timeline as the scorekeeper—score from Apple Watch while friends follow from the sideline.
Our story
The name is intentional on three levels. Ready — the universal signal that competition is about to begin. Play — the commitment to compete. And the stylized e in our mark nods to exercise — real effort and heart rate on court.
Eight angles on the same product — pick the one that lands for you.
What it is
A peer-managed sports platform that brings structure, accountability, and real reputation to recreational competition — starting with basketball and expanding across every sport you play.
The name
READYPLAY is the intersection of ready and exercise — the moment before competition when your body is warm, your focus is sharp, and you're prepared to perform at your best.
The trust model
Every result is verified by the people who competed. No disputed scores, no fading memories. Your performance record is built by the community around you, not an algorithm.
The vision
We launched with basketball because it demands the most from a platform — individual stats, team dynamics, defensive accountability, peer-reviewed attributes, and verifiable records. Proving the model there means every other sport is an informed expansion, not a gamble.
The larger purpose
Every athlete deserves a record. Not just professionals — everyone who shows up, competes hard, and earns a reputation through consistent performance. READYPLAY makes that possible for recreational sports at every level.
Exercise + enjoyment
READYPLAY is exercise you actually want to do: real games at real parks, with structure and gamification — runs, streaks, leaderboards, and social proof — so moving your body feels like play, not a chore.
On-demand play (coming)
The long-term marketplace is on-demand play, the way you'd book a ride or a task. Everything is free by default — pickup stays pickup. Paid fill-in roles are earned: you'll need trust, history, and level before you can list.
Your record, cryptographically sealed
Your games, reviews, and roles attach to one stable player identity — the same identity that carries cryptographic game fingerprints today and optional on-chain anchoring tomorrow.
READYPLAY is a peer-managed sports platform built on a straightforward belief: every athlete, at every level, deserves an accurate record of how they compete.
Professional athletes have sophisticated infrastructure behind them — statisticians, video review, verified performance data. Recreational athletes have almost none of that. Games are played, results are forgotten, and reputations are built entirely on word of mouth. READYPLAY changes that.
The platform gives recreational competitors the same core tools that professional sports have always had: structured scoring, verified results, peer-reviewed performance ratings, and a portable identity that travels across games and seasons.
We are launching with basketball. Not because this is exclusively a basketball application — it is not — but because basketball presents the most complex set of variables to solve in a recreational context. Individual shot tracking, defensive matchups, foul accountability, team chemistry, post-game peer reviews, win streaks, and player identity all need to work together seamlessly. Solving that comprehensively means every sport that follows benefits from proven, tested infrastructure rather than repeated experimentation.
Every sport. One platform.
Basketball is the starting point because it demands the most from a sports platform. Managing shot zones, defensive accountability, consensus-based foul logging, team identity across lineup variations, and peer-only reputation scoring simultaneously requires an architecture that is both flexible and precise.
Once that architecture is validated, expanding to other sports is a matter of informed adaptation rather than rebuilding from scratch. The same scoring engine, peer review system, and identity infrastructure serve every sport. What changes is the language and the rules — what constitutes a scoring event, how a period is defined, what a team lineup looks like in context.
Each sport on the roadmap will receive a mode that reflects how that community actually competes. Flag football operates by drives and downs. Tennis tracks games and sets. Padel pairs enclosed-court rallies with doubles-first social play. Golf follows holes and rounds. Bowling counts frames and series. Each experience is native to the sport, not borrowed from basketball.
Exercise through play, structured scoring, verified reputation, and portable records — for every sport you play.
How we make money
Pickup is free by default — always. Revenue comes from optional scorekeeper credit bundles, future pro-tier tools for organizers and trainers, and paid fill-in listings that unlock only after a player has earned enough trust and history on the platform.
Digital identity & verified records
Every player profile and every team lineup in READYPLAY carries a stable digital identity. Statistics and reputation accumulate on that identity across every game, every sport, and every season — building a longitudinal record of how you perform as a competitor.
When a game concludes, the platform generates a cryptographic fingerprint of the result: final scores, rosters, and lineup identifiers. That fingerprint is stored with the game record and serves as the payload for blockchain anchoring when wallet integration is complete. Local anchor hashes are stored on completed games today.
Disputed events — such as foul calls — are resolved through a crowd-sourced consensus model. When a majority of participants agree on what occurred, that outcome is recorded. This mirrors the approach used by navigation platforms to validate traffic reports: the combined signal of multiple independent observers outweighs any single account.
READYPLAY is the first peer-managed, blockchain-ready recreational sports platform where reputation is constructed entirely by the people you compete with — not by an algorithm, not by self-reported data, and not by a single administrator's judgment.

Horizon
Push notifications that respect focus, anti-cheat signals tuned for pickup, park map completion, and CloudKit scale stories that keep broadcasts smooth as communities grow.
Game modes across casual, ranked, and paid runs; advanced stat splits; voice score for hands-busy scorekeepers; fuller mdoc presentment when venues ask for real-world identity—each item tracked in the Feature Ledger and shipped in slices.
