Do my players need to install an app or create an account?

No. Players are identified by their phone number. They get a text, tap the link or reply IN, OUT or MAYBE, and their phone remembers them from then on.

How much does Get4th cost?

30 days and 5 games free, no card.

What happens when someone drops out?

The first person on the waiting list is moved in automatically and told by text. A maybe is asked first, never silently promoted.

Can Get4th run tournaments?

Yes — Club accounts create tournaments like any game: players get the text, tap in, and the knockout bracket runs inside Get4th through to a champion.

Get4th — The AI assistant that runs your pickleball games

How it works

Three taps from you. One tap from them.

Post the game

Court, time, how many you need. Pick a group or your whole list — or make it public and let players nearby find it.

Get4th does the texting

Everyone gets one message from your group's own number. Reminders, drop-outs, the standby list — you don't send any of it.

They answer either way

Tap the link, or just text back "in" / "can't make it" — both work. Yes and no come back as a live count, and the court fills itself.

The player page: invite card with live fill, who's in, one-tap In / Maybe / Out and game chat — **The real thing** — what a player sees after one tap. No app store, no password, no account required.

Meet Fourth — your assistant

Say the game. Fourth does the rest.

Fourth is the AI assistant built into Get4th. Tap the mic — or type — “Saturday 9am, 2 courts, invite my regulars, open it up if we're short” and Fourth drafts the whole game: day, time, court, spots, who gets invited and in what order.

Change your mind in plain words — “make it 7”, “add a court”, “hold 2 spots for me and Alex” — and the draft updates. Fourth knows your courts, your groups and your usual time, and asks one question when something's genuinely unclear.

Nothing sends until you tap post. Fourth drafts; you decide. Then Get4th texts your players, counts the replies and fills the court.

Start free — 30 days & 5 full courts on us

A real conversation with Fourth: the host says the game in one sentence, Fourth drafts it, the host adjusts by voice, then taps Review & post — **A real conversation** — one sentence in, a ready-to-post game out. Every text your players get still comes from your group's own number.

The math

A season of games: 5 minutes of your time, 6¢ a player-hour, $0 for players.

Thirty games the old way is 2½ hours of calls and roll-calls — and the tools that replace it charge every player. Get4th runs the season for less than a coffee a month, and your players never pay a cent.

Your time · 30 games

With Get4th ≈ 5 min total

Phone & group chat 5 min × 30 = 150 min

Set the recurring game up once (~5 minutes); it posts, texts, reminds and backfills itself. Your season back: about 2½ hours.

Your money · Host plan

$15/mo

the Host plan — own number included

filled courts covered every month

50¢

per game night

6¢

per player, per hour on court

A filled court is 4 players for ~2 hours — 8 player-hours. 50¢ ÷ 8 ≈ 6¢ an hour. Less than the ball you'll crack tonight.

Your players

Players pay nothing — ever. No app to buy, no account, no subscription, no fees. They get a text from your group's number and reply IN. That's the whole thing.

Inside the app

What you actually get. Untouched screenshots.

The organiser side runs your group; the player side is a page that opens from a text. Swipe or scroll through — this is the live product, not a mock-up.

Organiser dashboard: a join request waiting for approval and a game at 7 of 8 with one spot covered by the standby list — **Your dashboard.** A public-game join request waits for your OK; Thursday sits at 7 of 8 with the standby list covering the last spot.

Player invite card with who's in, In Maybe Out buttons and a game chat badge showing 2 new messages — **The player's page.** Who's in, three buttons, and the game chat with its unread badge. Opens from the text — nothing to install.

Public games feed: ZIP radius search returning a nearby open game with DUPR window and open spots — **Public games near you.**new Players search by ZIP and only see games whose DUPR window they fit. The host approves everyone personally.

A player's G4 rating card and match history feeding the club ladder — **The G4 ladder.**new Every scored match moves a player's rating. Same crew every Thursday? The ladder is the season-long score.

Nationwide court directory sheet filtered to Massachusetts with indoor/outdoor, price and court-count tags — **8,900+ courts, all 50 states.**new Pick your courts from the national directory — indoor, price and court count already filled in.

Game chat open under the invite card: three messages about warm-up, balls and parking, with a message box and Send — **Game chat.**new "Warm-up at 5:40?" lives with the game, not in your texts — every game gets its own thread.

Your own line

One dedicated number runs all your pickleball.

Invites, reminders, drop-outs, replies — one thread from your group's own number instead of a group chat with 47 unread messages.

📱

Not your mobile

Players text the group's number, not you. Your Saturday stays yours.

🛑

Opt-out that works

Anyone can text STOP and they're out, properly. And your reach stays yours: on a shared line, someone else's STOP can silence your invites — your own number keeps your player relationships untouched by anyone else's opt-outs.

🔑

No passwords, anywhere

Organisers sign in with a 6-digit code texted (or emailed) to them. Players just tap their link. Nothing to remember, nothing to reset.

New this season

Beyond your own group.

Get4th started as the tool for your Thursday crew. It now fills courts across town too.

🌍

Public games

Flip a game to public and players nearby can find it and ask in — or keep it private, same as always. You approve every request personally, and only players inside your DUPR window even see it.

🙋

Non-members can ask in

A player you've never met asks into your Saturday open play, you see their name and rating, and one tap says yes. They're texted, they're in, and they're on your list for next time.

🆓

Free player accounts

Players never need one — but the ones who want more get game history, their rating, public-game search and every group in one place. Free, forever, passwordless.

💬

Game chat

Each game gets its own chat next to the roster — "warm-up at 5:40?" lives with the game, not in your texts. Unread badges, and your posts can ping confirmed players.

↗

G4 ladder & scoreboards

Session scoreboards every night, and a club ladder that remembers all season. Ratings are player-owned: everyone types their own DUPR, hosts read it but never edit it.

🏓

Nationwide court directory

8,900+ venues across all 50 states, searchable by state or ZIP radius. Add yours in two taps — directory names and addresses stay frozen so games always carry a real address.

The quiet part

An organiser that doesn't need managing.

💬

Reads real replies

"Can I bring my brother", "in if we push to 6:30", "👍" — understood without anyone learning a command. Unclear? It asks instead of guessing.

❓

Answers the basics

"What's the address?" "Am I in?" — answered instantly at 11pm, without waking you. Strictly game questions; anything else comes to you.

👁️

Never acts alone

It drafts, suggests and answers. Sending an invite, cancelling a game or charging anyone is always you.

🏆

Match night, handled

Once the court fills, pick a format — rotating partners, fixed teams, or a full knockout tournament — and Get4th deals the courts, takes scores as they happen, and feeds the ladder. No spreadsheet.

Pricing

Your players never pay a cent.

No player subscription, no per-game fee, nothing in the text asking anyone for money. One card covers the whole group. Player accounts are free, forever.

Free trial

Try it on your real group first. 30 days and 5 full courts free — full Host features, no card. A court only counts once it fills.

Start free — 30 days & 5 full courts on us

One text thread, four ways to use it.

Get4th is the layer that fills the court and keeps everyone in the loop — whatever you're organising.

🏓

Recreational games & leagues

Your Tuesday crew, the Saturday open play, a summer league. Post the game, the regulars get first crack, the waitlist backfills, and nobody wakes up to 40 unread messages. Scores and a ladder if you want them.

🎯

Private lessons & clinics

Coaches and semi-pros: announce a clinic or a lesson slot, cap it at the right number, take YES by text, remind everyone the day before, and fill a cancellation from the standby list without a single phone call.

⛺

Camps

Run a camp and keep participants organised for the whole week — daily schedule texts, court assignments, rain calls, "bring water" reminders — all from one number they can reply to.

🏆

Your own pickleball team

Captains: keep the roster straight, confirm who's playing which night, plan match-ups and score them, and let the team chat live next to the schedule instead of across three group chats.

For clubs and facilities

Fill the courts you already have.

Get4th isn't club management software and won't try to replace it. It's the layer that fills the court: open play, clinics, ladders, weather calls, and the last‑minute scramble when three people cancel on a Tuesday. It sits alongside whatever you already use for booking and billing.

Your number, your area code

Members save it. It goes on the door, the website and the ball machine. It becomes the club's line.

Unlimited games and rosters

Sync from your existing member list. Sub‑rosters by level, by court, by program.

Per‑program sending limits

One tournament blast can't eat the day's delivery capacity and knock out everyone else's games.

Integrate it via API and MCP

A REST API token that works on every endpoint, and an MCP server your staff can plug into Claude or any AI assistant — create games, pull rosters, read RSVPs, run the club by asking.

Run tournaments

Create a tournament like any game: players get the text, tap in, and the bracket runs inside Get4th — seeded teams, knockout rounds, scores, a champion. Results feed the club ladder.

Matches pushed to DUPR working on it

Score a match in Get4th and it's submitted to DUPR for every player on the court — open play, ladders, tournaments. Members' official ratings move from the games they actually play at your club, with nobody typing scores into a second app. The pull that keeps them coming back.

Sits beside your booking system

Get4th fills the court; your existing software keeps the bookings, billing and memberships. No migration, nothing to replace.
