Messages, time limits and the court fee

Tell the whole room something at once, keep games to time, and collect the fee without a clipboard.

  1. 1

    Post a message to the room

    In Queue settings, write it under Message to the room and tap Post, or start from a ready-made one like Water break, back in 5. It goes to the top of every board in the room and across Courtside. Tap Take it down when it's done with.

    Tap Edit on the message on your board to come straight back here.

    Queue settings opened at Message to the room, with a message typed in, three ready-made messages, and Take it down and Update buttons.

    Give games a time limit

    Under Game time limit, pick the minutes a game should take. Each court then counts down instead of up, turns amber in the last couple of minutes, and red once it's over, on everyone's board and on Courtside. Nothing ends on its own: you still record the result.

    The message across the top of the board, and Court 1 live with 14:51 left on its countdown.

    Set the fee and your payment QR

    Under Fee, enter what each player pays and how to pay you, like your GCash name and number. Tap Add and pick a screenshot of your own GCash, Maya or bank QR: qStack reads the code out of it, and players get a clean copy to scan or save. Use the Receive money QR, not one made for a single payment.

    Only a real payment QR is accepted, never a link, so nobody can swap in somewhere else to send the money.

    The Fee section of Queue settings: 150 pesos, GCash details, and the payment QR on the board with Change and remove buttons.

    Tick people off as they pay

    Every name in the line now has Unpaid beside it. Tap it as someone pays and it turns to Paid. The count at the top tells you how many have paid and what you've collected. Players see only their own mark, never anyone else's.

    Somebody on court? Open On court in the line to reach their name.

    6 of 18 paid with 900 pesos collected, above the line: Zed unpaid, then Ella, Dennis and Bea marked paid.

    Put it on your venue's page

    Own or manage the venue on Courtogo? Sign in, and pick it under Venue at the bottom of Queue settings. While the board runs, the venue's Courtogo page says open play is on now and links to the board.
