It’s been a busy and exciting fortnight at the Sportmeets office in Prague for our international team. We’d love to share some cool thing we have been up to recently.

Following our promotion at the two events in Perth and Prague, we’ve been receiving a lot of helpful comments & tips on what you like and what we could improve about Sportmeets. We’ve heard from players, captains, coaches, universities and even national sports associations. Thanks for this, everyone! We love reading your feedback and we are happy to transform it into an even better experience of organising games and sports events for everyone.

Introducing: One-on-one game challenges

This is something we have really tackled and are proud to bring to all players! If you play tennis, squash, badminton or any other sport where it is only about you and your opponent (boxing counts too!), you can now challenge another player  directly and set up the game in no time. Sportmeets will let you know as soon as your would-be opponent has accepted your challenge. So, give challenges a try →

Or, if you are not so much bothered as to who are you going to play against, simply create an open match within your crowd and you’ll be notified when  someone takes up your challenge. In any case, if you want to play, we will make sure there’s nothing to hold you back from getting a game set up! Play with the same people often? — then why not organise a formal sport ladder to find out who is really the best in your club, at work or among friends!

Also stay tuned for our still-secret extension code-name “Project Challenger” as well as recommendations on who to play as we are revamping our sport interest matching algorithm!

Yeah, by the way, sporting is social so don’t keep your games for yourself ! Just imagine the upcoming  FIFA 2010 Football Championships being played behind a closed door! So share your matches on Facebook and Twitter and have your friends show their support by voting on who they think will win! They can do so directly at the meet page or via our Facebook app. You can also gently remind everyone which of the two players they should give their vote for (Hint: tell them to vote for you!). That’s what friends are there for, right?

Well then, there’s a lot going on right now,  so watch this space for further updates on what’s cooking in the Sportmeets kitchen!
