GetSpot
What it is
GetSpot helps organizers schedule recurring sports events, manage participants and waitlists, and handle group payments. It is designed for capacity-limited meetups with a fee, including badminton, basketball, soccer, tennis and volleyball, and is available on Android and iOS. Organizers can create groups, share join codes, manage members and set an event’s date, time, location, capacity and fee. When an event fills, further registrations go onto a waitlist, and the next person is automatically promoted if a confirmed place opens. Organizers collect payments offline using methods such as cash, Venmo or Zelle, then credit members’ group wallets; registration fees are deducted from those balances. Withdrawing before the commitment deadline returns the fee to a member’s wallet. After the deadline, the fee is forfeited unless a waitlisted participant takes the spot. Organizers can approve join requests, adjust membership, credit wallets and send announcements. Players can receive push notifications about events, registration changes and reminders. Users sign in with Google or Apple. GetSpot is free, with no subscription or per-transaction fee.
