Singles League

Lifetime Fitness Troy

From spreadsheet chaos to seamless league nights

How a competitive singles league eliminated scheduling headaches, automated DUPR submissions, and gave players real-time visibility into standings.

1The Challenge

Before Around The Post, running the 8PM-10PM Coed Advanced Singles league meant hours of manual work every week:

  • Manual schedule generation in spreadsheets — prone to errors and repeat matchups that frustrated players
  • DUPR entry delays — players waited days for their ratings to update because scores had to be manually submitted
  • Constant questions — "Who am I playing?" "What court?" "Do I have a bye?" — all answered via scattered texts
  • Standings confusion — players had no easy way to see where they ranked or track their progress

2The Solution

With Around The Post, every pain point was addressed:

  • One-click schedule generation — balanced round-robin matchups with automatic bye rotation, no repeat partners or opponents
  • Automatic DUPR submission — scores submitted the moment the session is completed, ratings update immediately
  • Self-service schedule access — players check the schedule beforehand to see if they have a bye, no more rushing to arrive early
  • Live standings — players track their rankings week-by-week with full transparency on wins, losses, and point differential
