Play Sessions

A Play Session tracks your time on the court — like a “run” in Strava. It groups matches into a single activity, shows on your home screen, and counts toward your passport stats.

3 Ways to Start a Session

Start manuallyTap “Start Session” on home screen, pick a venue, then tap “Start”Check-in
Play a matchCreate a match at a venue — session auto-createdAuto
  • Check-in is recommended — one tap creates a session and shows other players you're at the venue.
  • Auto-created sessions are transparent — you won't notice them unless you look at your session history.
  • Starting a session requires a venue — it also checks you in so other players can see you're there.

What Happens During a Session

  • Matches played at the same venue automatically attach to your active session.
  • The session tracks venue, start time, duration, and match count.
  • Other players can see the player count at a venue via check-in.

3 Ways to End a Session

MethodHow
Check outTap the green “Checked In” button on the venue page
End manuallyTap “End Session” on the session detail screen
Check in elsewhereChecking in at a different venue auto-ends the previous session
  • There is no auto-expiry — sessions stay active until you end them.
  • Check-in records expire after 3 hours, but the session itself stays active.

Where Sessions Appear

  • Home screen — your recent sessions are listed on the home screen.
  • Passport — session count appears in the stats grid, filtered by period.
  • Session detail — tap any session to see venue, duration, and match list.

Session Reuse

If you play a match at the same venue within 3 hours of your last session there, the match attaches to the existing session instead of creating a new one. This keeps your session history clean and avoids duplicates.
