How Boola works

From the access code to PIX payment — everything that happens in a pickup game, organized in seconds.

Step 1

Attendance lists without the hassle

Each session has a unique code and a direct link. Players join with a QR scan or by typing the code — no account needed.

  • Anyone can confirm or cancel their spot
  • Admin sets a configurable player limit
  • Profile photo for quick recognition on the court
  • Real-time updates — no need to refresh

Step 2

Fair, skill-based team draws

The algorithm distributes players so each team's skill total is as balanced as possible. No more weak team vs. strong team.

  • Admin picks how many players per team (2–6)
  • Team names and colors generated automatically
  • Re-draw available at any time
  • Skill levels calibrated through collaborative ratings
Step 3

Wrap-up and PIX payment

When the match ends, the app shows a payment card with the admin's PIX key. Everyone can see it and copy it with one tap.

  • Separate rates for members and drop-ins
  • Admin marks who paid with one tap
  • Immutable history — the record stays even if settings change later
  • Post-game highlights: best player and best team

Joining a session is simple

Players join via the link, a QR code, or by typing the 4-character code. No account needed, nothing to download.

  • Shareable link, works great on WhatsApp
  • QR code you can project on a TV or print
  • Works on any phone with a browser
  • Install as an app (PWA) for even faster access
Bonus

Capture Moments

A camera records the game with a continuous 15-second buffer. When something amazing happens, another phone hits the button — and the clip from the last 15s is automatically saved to Google Drive.

  • Camera Mode: any phone becomes a court camera
  • Button Mode: remote trigger over Wi-Fi, no noticeable latency
  • Multiple simultaneous angles — each camera captures separately
  • Saved straight to your Google Drive folder

There's a lot more

Features built to put your pickup game on autopilot.

Waitlist

Extra players automatically join a queue when the court is full.

Member priority

Members get priority confirmation over drop-ins during peak hours.

Penalties

Leaving after the cutoff time triggers an automatic penalty and blocks the next session.

Penalty history

See in one place which penalties have been paid and which are still pending.

Automatic restart

The session reopens itself on the configured day — no admin action needed.

Entry QR code

Share a QR code at the court so players can join with a scan.

Player ratings

Invite evaluators to rate each player's skill level. The algorithm uses this to balance teams.

Gender balancing

Optionally, the draw also balances teams by gender, on top of skill level.

Group admins

Invite trusted people to help admin the group — attendance, draws, and wrap-up never get stuck waiting on one person.

Push notifications

Get browser alerts for invites, announcements, and group updates.

Activity log

Full history of joins, leaves, draws, and session wrap-ups.

Group cover photo

Personalize the group with a cover photo — shown in the app and when sharing the link.

Location

Add the court's Google Maps link as a shortcut, shown right next to the session code.

Game rules

Set the pickup game's rules (time, exit criteria, etc.) and keep them visible to everyone.

Duplicate session

Create a copy with the same settings, players, evaluators, and admins.

Free match

Wrap up without charging anything when the game is free — skips the PIX step entirely.

Recent groups

Groups you've visited stay saved on your device so you can jump back in fast, without needing to save the code.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to join?

Nope! To mark your attendance you just need the session's code or link — no sign-up. An account is only needed for whoever creates and manages sessions.

How many players fit per session?

The admin sets the attendance limit. Once the court is full, everyone else automatically joins the waitlist and gets notified if a spot opens up.

Is the draw actually balanced?

Yes. The algorithm distributes players to balance the total skill level per team. Levels are calibrated through collaborative ratings and are only visible to the admin.

What happens when the court is full?

Extra players join a waitlist in order of arrival. If someone cancels, the next person in line is added automatically.

How much does Boola cost?

For now, it's 100% free. Create your account, set up your session, and use every feature without paying anything.

Does it work on mobile without installing anything?

Yes, it works right in the browser. But you can also install it as an app (PWA) to get a home screen icon, offline access to your settings, and a native app-like experience.

Can I have more than one admin in the group?

Yes. Invite other trusted people as admins from the group's settings. They get full access to the day-to-day tools — attendance, draws, wrap-up — so the group never gets stuck if you can't be around.
