For governing bodies

Stop checking affiliation by hand.

When affiliation sits in one system and event entries in another, someone checks one against the other by hand, and clubs are invoiced and chased each season. PlayPulse runs the affiliation and the events on one platform.

A player pays once, and each body is sent its part.
An event that requires affiliation checks it at the entry.
Affiliation bought through PlayPulse renews each season, for players and for clubs.

Example: a national body, its state bodies and their clubs.

Affiliation

What a body gets.

One payment, shared up the chain.

A player buys affiliation through their club. The price is shown in its parts, for example national, state and club, with any fee passed on shown as its own line, and the player pays once.

Who takes the payment

The seller is the club if it has a payout account, otherwise the nearest body above with one.

The check happens at the entry.

An event can require affiliation. A player who cannot enter is told why. A player whose bought or imported affiliation has lapsed or is ending can renew in the same step.

The organiser sets who can enter

Affiliated players, anyone, or players affiliated with the bodies the organiser lists.

Renews each season.

Affiliation bought through PlayPulse renews each season unless the player turns it off, with notice 30 and 7 days before the charge.

Clubs affiliate too

Clubs affiliate each season, by tier, and receive a Certificate of Currency.

A club's affiliation renews each season on the card of the admin who last paid it, with notice 30 and 7 days before.

Money

Each sale is paid to the seller

Each sale is charged on the seller's own account. PlayPulse's fee, where one applies, comes out of that payment. Where bodies above are owed a share, as in a player's affiliation, it is sent on to their accounts.

Events and ratings

Events and ratings on the same platform.

PlayPulse runs an event from entry to result.

Draws and scheduling

Knockout, round robin, pools, pool play-offs and Monrad, seeded from rating or ranking points, with an automatic court schedule.

Live scoring

Scored at the court and shown live. On a public event, anyone can open a scorecard without signing in.

One rating per player

One rating follows the player. Any rated match moves it.

Streaming

A phone goes live to YouTube with the score on screen.

Moving across

What moving involves.

Who does what when a body moves from the system it uses today.

PlayPulse switches it on

Affiliation is switched on at the top body by PlayPulse, for the whole tree at once.
The national body defines the offer

The national body defines what is sold to players and the tiers for clubs. A state body adopts a player type and adds its own part, or sells a type of its own.
Existing members can be brought across

Existing members can be imported with the ID they already have, and a renewal keeps it.
A member brought across from an earlier system does not renew by itself. They renew by hand when their affiliation is ending or has lapsed, at an entry or by buying again.
Linked players start with affiliation

When affiliation is switched on, every player with an active link to a body in the tree is given affiliation for the current season at no charge.
Clubs get notice

The top body chooses the date from which clubs must be affiliated, at least 14 days ahead. A club that has not affiliated is emailed in the 30 days before it.
