Quick Match: start a game in seconds with a code or QR

Create a lobby, share it, and start when your side is ready. You need Flobit on your iPhone and the sport added to your profile. Here is the whole path:

1. Open Quick Match from the + button and choose a sport.
2. Choose the format. Pick singles, doubles or a team format, the scoring rules, and whether to play now or later. A venue is optional; if you allow location, Flobit can suggest courts close to you for that sport.
3. Create the lobby. Flobit gives you an 8-character code, a QR code and a flobit.app/join link.
4. Share it. Friends type the code, scan the QR code in the app or open the link. The code never uses the letters I and O or the digits 0 and 1, so it is hard to misread when you say it out loud.
5. Let people take their places. Each person joins as a player or as the referee. In doubles, players pick a side.
6. Start the match. A short toss screen decides who serves or kicks off first (you can skip it), and then you keep score live.

Yes, as guests. Anyone with a Flobit account joins with the code, QR code or link. A friend who has not installed the app can still play: the host adds them by first and last name. A guest has no account, no profile and no rating, and their name appears in the match details only.

Guests still count in the rating math. When a real player faces a guest, the guest is treated as a player rated 1000, so the match can be rated for everyone who does have an account.

Joining as the referee is for the person who wants to keep score without playing. The referee doesn't sit on a side. They start the match and record the points, and the players check and confirm the score at the end. When a referee kept the score, one player's confirmation is enough to lock it in. If everyone playing is a guest, the referee's confirmation locks it in.

Quick Match works for all eight live sports, each with its own scoring rules. Badminton is coming soon.

In team formats such as 5v5 basketball or 6v6 volleyball you don't need a registered team. The host starts the lobby, and players join a side one by one until the seats are full. The padel scoring guide explains the golden point and super tiebreak options.

Choose Play now when everyone is already together at the court: the lobby opens at once, you share the code or QR and start when the sides are ready. Choose Play later when you are arranging next Saturday: set the date and time, share the code in your group chat, and the match shows up in your calendar in the app.

Both options use the same code, QR code and link, and you can share them again at any time after the lobby is created. If a Play later match is never started, Flobit cancels it automatically 12 hours after its start time, so old lobbies don't pile up. You can also cancel it yourself before it starts.

You can be in one live match at a time. Finish or cancel the current one before you create or join another.

The score gets confirmed, ratings update and everyone can rate each other's sportsmanship. One player confirming the final score locks it in, and a result nobody confirms locks itself in after a day. Live scoring explains confirmations and disputes in full.

• Rating. A confirmed result moves each player's rating in that sport. A disputed result takes those changes back.
• Sportsmanship. You can give each opponent 1 to 5 stars for turning up, fair play and good spirit, and change it for 48 hours.
• Rematch. The player who set the match up gets a "Confirm and rematch" button as they confirm the score. It seats the same players again in a new lobby. Anyone you have blocked, or who no longer plays the sport, is left out.

Use Quick Match when you already know who is playing. Use an open match when you need to find players. Flobit doesn't pair you with opponents automatically, so a Quick Match lobby only ever holds people you invited.

You can use both: an open match to find a fourth player, and a Quick Match each week once the group is settled.
