Invite a Friend, They Skip the Line
July 30, 2026
A quick one, all aimed at getting more people on the court. The headline: when you invite a friend who hasn't played yet, they can skip the pre-registration line and book their first game right away. Plus the games list is finally honest about how full a game really is, and a full pre-registration line is no longer a dead-end.
Invite a friend — they walk right in
The invite link you share now does more. When you bring someone new to Saturday Hoops, they get a guest pass: they see who invited them, and instead of waiting in the pre-registration line, they can book their first game directly. It's our way of thanking you for spreading the word and getting new faces out to play — and you still earn your free credit when they book.
A clearer picture of how full a game is
The games list used to count only confirmed players, so a game that was really full could look half-empty. Now every game shows how many people are pre-registered alongside the confirmed roster, so you can tell at a glance when a game is at capacity — on both the games list and the game page.
Pre-registration full? Join the waitlist
When pre-registration fills up, you're no longer stuck at a dead-end. You can join the waitlist, and if a spot opens — someone releasing frees a seat for the whole list — we'll email you so you can grab it.
Cheers,
