I like this concept a lot. NoFouls.com does something similar for basketball, but the regular games are never on there. It's always some guy trying to get a game by his house, emailing everybody in the city who is nowhere close to him. Hopefully this works out better. It's tough because most guys only know the times for one court. And so you'd need a lot of those guys to signup and post. However, there are some that make the rounds, getting those people as curators would be ideal. One guy I knew who did that went around recruiting for hoopitup tournaments to get the best teams and win $10k :).


Yea definitely. I signed up for NoFouls and found it to be of no use for me. A really good use for this type of app though is to find teammates for a rec league - especially in the winter weather; everybody has to play in a indoor league for soccer, basketball etc.

Problem is if you are not a sponsored corporate or church team, you are just a "free-agent"; you just get assigned and put on random teams. It'd be cool to pair people who are interested to sign up for a rec league team to figure out what kind of team they want to be in - kinda of like a "recreational sports speed dating."


yeah that could definitely be a way of doing it; solely depends on the community. I think the idea might have been also to get leagues up and running with the tool as an organizational tool for games and practices and team discussion.
