You open the doors.
The screen does the draw, the scores and the gloating.

What it did at The Weston Arms.
My pub in Rochester, Kent. See its page
It feels like an event.
The draw goes up on the telly, the scores land as they happen, and the screen has something to say about the matches. The room gets loud, the good kind.
The big screen
Over £500 more in the till.
That was one Sunday. A normal one does £200–300.
My till. You can count yours.
I stopped ringing round.
I used to phone everyone. They'd all say they were coming, and half wouldn't. Now they put their own name down, and when it's full there's a waitlist.
Sign-ups, the waitlist and the door
Sixteen places. All gone.
Series V is this week, and I didn't ring anyone.
One link to sign up
They talk about it all week.
Who's top, who bottled it, who wants a rematch. The other six days are what bring them back.
The board, the stats and the nicknames
It becomes a scene.
The same faces keep coming back, series after series. The regulars are on your board, and every one of them knows exactly where they stand.

What you get.
The door picks the draw.
Only people who've checked in get drawn, and paid, if there's an entry fee. Somebody off the waitlist who's turned up takes the empty seat.
Any telly is the big screen.
Open one web address on the TV. No box to buy, nothing to install.
Every phone follows the tournament.
Players and anyone watching see every table live, from wherever they're standing.
Sign-ups sort themselves.
One link. When it fills, there's a waitlist, and when a place frees up the next one's told.
Every series gets a page.
The winner, the awards, the bracket and the photos. Still there next year.
Run it again in one tap.
The next series, set up the same, and last time's players get the invite.
Players find you.
Your venue gets its own page: what people can play there, when you're open, and what's on.
Anyone looking for a game near them finds it, by where they are and what they want to play.

All sixteen at the last series had played before.
Your dashboard shows who's played, how many came back and what the door took.
Different people so far, counting the new sign-ups.
Been before New faces Signed up for the next one
Got a pool table?
That's all it takes.
English 8-ball is built all the way: every shot marked on a phone at the table, and a ranking that means something because of it.
So far on Leagology: 53 matches, marked as they happened. 1,827 pots, 2,003 misses and 206 fouls, all on the record.
9-ball and snooker run too, on a simpler scorer: tap who won each frame. Darts and racket sports are next.
Before you ask.
Who marks the matches?
Anyone you add as a marker, on their own phone. At my last series a regular picked it up with no training. His verdict: "This is easy."
Will my lot use an app?
There's nothing to download. It's a link, and it opens on whatever phone they've got.
What if nobody signs up?
My first series had twelve. Anyone who walks in on the day can be added at the door.
£49 a month.

Probably not for you if…
You want a one-off. The point is the crowd that grows around it, series after series.
Nobody's going to run it on the day. It replaces the clipboard, not the person holding it.
