The club guide
Your club's rankings fill themselves in.
Your players log their matches from their phone. Anyone who has played at your club enters your club rankings, which appear on the screen at the front desk and come back to you as an image ready to post. You never have anything to enter, ever.
Your page may already exist: your players created it by logging their games. Verifying it means putting your name on it.

What your club gains
Your players log their matches, everyone who played at your club enters the rankings, and those rankings show up at your club and get shared. The rest of this page explains how.
Your club's rankings, live
Whoever plays at your club is ranked there. Every match logged updates the table — no sign-up, no membership, and nothing for you to enter.
The front-desk screen
One address to open on a tablet or a TV, and the rankings show up full screen. It's optional: the page and the kit are enough to get started.
An image ready to post
The month's podium, the player of the week, your numbers, in your colours, with the post caption written for you. As soon as a period has counted enough games.
A kit in your colours
Poster, flyer, table tent, stickers: each one carries your logo and your page's QR code. Generate them from your manager space whenever you like.
A club page that comes alive
Your photos, the week's rhythm, the regulars, your coaches, the rankings, the matches played at your place. Readable without an account, and findable on Google.
Your colors, right into the feed
Your logo and colour dress up your page, the screen, the kit, the images — and every match played at your club, in the feed of everyone who sees it.
Your players come back
Rankings people check at the bar turn into rematches they book. Anyone following your club finds it on their home screen, along with everything played there since their last visit.
A manager's hub in your pocket
Your numbers, your identity, your coaches, your class groups, your link to share. Nothing to set up for it to exist.
Boast in five moves: how a match becomes a ranking
Five steps, always the same, for every match played at your club. Enough to explain it to a player at the counter.
A player logs their match
Every sport on Boast, singles or doubles. Pick your opponent from the players you already play with, or add them by phone number if they're not on Boast. The score goes in set by set, on a keypad that moves along by itself; Boast imposes no match format. The club is always filled in: that's what brings the match into your rankings.
- Tennis
- Padel
- Table tennis
- Squash
- Basque pelota
- Pétanque
Published right away, refusable later
Nobody has to confirm anything: the match lands in the feed, in the stats and in the rankings the moment it's recorded. Each opponent has 7 days to decline it if the score is wrong, and the app reminds them in our own words: decline if the score is wrong, not if it stings. A refusal isn't anonymous, and the match then disappears for everyone, points included.
It earns points, on a public scale
A win counts for more when the opponent is strong: beating a player you know nothing about earns 17 pts, beating a player who wins nine times out of ten earns 86 pts. Beating the same one again earns less and less. Only your 15 best wins count, and losses take nothing away: they dilute the total. That's what makes cheating pointless.
Understand the rankings in detailYou only play with people you know
Every player has a circle: the players they play with, opponents included. You join it through an accepted invitation, or by naming someone with their number — which creates the link right away. Each game carries its own privacy: public, circle only, or private. The first two count towards your club's rankings, the third counts nowhere.
On the app or the site, no password needed
You sign up with your mobile number and a code sent by SMS: no password to remember. The app is available on iPhone and Android, and the website does the same from any browser — the app only adds notifications on your lock screen and, on iPhone, your address book.
"Verified club": the word that unlocks everything
Any player can create your club's listing simply by logging a match: it already has its own page and rankings. Getting it verified is another matter — Boast vouches for that page, puts your name on it, and hands you the keys. Only the Boast team verifies a club: there's no form to declare yourself verified.
On any club
A public page with the rankings, the regulars and the games played there; the number of players following it; a preview when you paste the link into a conversation; and a spot in search results once Google finds it.
At a verified club, you also get
The "Verified" badge next to your name; your logo and colours on the page, and on every game played at your club; the front desk screen; and, for the manager, the manager area, the print kit, the images to post and the coaches to recognise.
Your page has a readable address, drawn from your club's name. If you rename it, the old address still leads there: nothing you've printed becomes wrong.
A listing covers one sport only, and it locks as soon as the first match is logged. So a club with tennis courts and padel courts has two listings, same name, same address, each with its own rankings, page and screen.
Once verified, you set the name, address, sport, colours, logo, photos and number of courts. Boast keeps the safeguards: verifying a club, adding or removing a manager, merging duplicate listings.
Your club's page, just as your players see it
It's what people find when they scan a poster at your club, and what Google indexes. It all fills itself in without you typing a thing.
Your sign up top
Your logo next to your name, the city, the sport, the number of courts, the "Verified" badge, your address, and how many players follow the club — a number, never names.
Your photos
Up to 4 photos in a mosaic, each one opens full size. The first also serves as the backdrop for the match cards of games played at your club.
The club this week
Matches and players over the last seven days, one bar per day, and the trend compared with the week before. On a week with nothing at all, the card simply doesn't appear: a quiet club doesn't get to show a big fat zero.
The club rankings
Anyone who has played at your club is ranked there — no sign-up, no membership. Public matches and circle-only ones both count; training sessions get you on the board without earning points. The podium comes first, the rest unfolds below, and every name leads to its profile.
Their points are all their points for the period, at your club and elsewhere: your rankings say who, among your players, is the strongest — not who has scored the most at your club.
The table shows the top 100 and says so; a signed-in player who has played at your club always sees their spot, even beyond that.
The regulars
The 5 players who showed up most often over the period, training sessions included: who turns up, alongside who wins. The section only appears from 3 players onwards.
Your coaches
The ones you've recognised, each linking to their profile. Any player looking for a lesson finds them here. The section only shows up once you've named at least one.
Matches played at your club
The latest match up top, then all the rest. Everyone only sees what the players' own privacy settings allow them to see.
Follow, or join
A logged-in player follows your club with one tap and finds it on their home screen — a visit never signs anyone up on the sly. A visitor without an account sees an invitation to join you: any sign-up starting there is tied to your club, and follows it automatically.
When someone pastes your link
In a chat or on social media, your page link unfolds into a preview in your colours: your logo, your city, your sport and your numbers. No player names.
What the page doesn't carry, so you don't go looking: no opening hours, no phone number, no website, no share button — paste the address and the preview does the rest. And wherever the page names players, banned accounts are removed for everyone.
At your club: the counter screen and the wall kit
A screen is optional. Nothing in Boast depends on one: the rankings, the kit and the images all work without it, and any old tablet will do the job the day you want one.
The front desk screen
A web page to open on a tablet or a TV, no account and no install, filling the whole screen. You set it up in the morning, it does the rest: three scenes rotate, and it updates itself, with no reloading and no flickering.
The rankings, which stay up longer than the rest and turn their pages — a club with forty players shows every one of them; the latest matches with their scores; and the club in numbers over the last four weeks. An empty scene never plays: a club just getting started shows only its rankings, never a blank screen.
Your page's QR code stays at the bottom, whatever's on screen: anyone walking by can scan it at any time. The screen takes on your colours and your logo, shows the sport from your profile, and the time period is locked into the URL — you set it once and never touch it again.
The display kit
4 supports, each with your page's QR code and the spot where it works best. Boast provides the first kit; after that, you print them yourself from your manager space — each one comes as a print-ready page at the exact paper size.
Poster
one per court, at the side or by the entrance
Poster
the notice board, the locker room door — print it at the club
Table tent
the counter, at ordering height
Sticker
the locker room, the restroom door, the vending machine
The flyer comes straight out of an office printer: the day you decide to put it up, you're not waiting on anyone. The poster, being larger, has to go to a print shop.
Every piece carries your logo, your name, the QR code and the Boast signature, in your colours. No written address: the QR code is enough, and it stays readable even when scuffed.
A scan opens your page, never an app store: passers-by read the rankings first, then sign up if they feel like it. The scan counter knows no one — a date, a club, a medium, a number.
What the screen doesn't do: it announces nothing to come, no bookings, no upcoming matches. Boast only knows what has been played.
What this actually looks like for your players
From the QR code on the wall to the logged match, here's what one of your players goes through. Enough to tell them about it before they find out themselves.
He scans, he reads
The QR code opens your club's page — no account, nothing to install: the rankings, the regulars, the latest matches. Nothing tracks them, and nothing pushes them toward an app store.
They sign up in two minutes
Their mobile number, a code by SMS, no password. Then their first name, last name and date of birth: you must be at least 13, and parental consent is declared under 15. The app comes after, not before.
They're already at your club
Because they signed up from your page, they follow your club automatically, their favourite sport becomes yours, and Boast brings them back to your page. Right after, players with public games at your club are suggested to them, with the reason: same club.
They log their game
Your club shows up at the top of their list — never ticked for them — and a "Log an activity here" button sets it by default straight from your page. They pick their opponent, tap the score on a keypad that moves along by itself, and post. Photos, labels and a comment stay optional.
And the one without Boast
You name them by phone number — your contacts fill in the fields — and they get a text with the link to the match: they see the score without an account, and can open theirs in one tap, which picks up the matches they've already played. That's how a club fills up: one player brings in another.
The match goes live, in your colours
It lands in the feed of everyone who sees it, with your logo and your colour on its scoreboard, in your club's rankings and in each player's rankings. The other side keeps its days to reject it if the score is wrong.
They come back
If they follow your club, it shows up on their home screen with the number of new items, and your page tells them what's been played since their last visit. Once a week at most, and only if there's something worth saying, Boast lets them know things are happening at your place. And as soon as they've played at your club, they can filter their feed and the overall rankings by it.
As a family
A parent can hold the profile of a child or relative who has no phone: a first name, a last name, nothing else, up to 5. They log matches on their behalf with a single tap, and those players count in your club's rankings like everyone else. In time, the child opens their own account with their own number, and keeps everything they've played.
The image of the month, and the one of the week
Content your club gets without producing anything: an image in your colours, with the post copy already written.
The past month
A podium of 3 players and two big numbers — the month's matches and players — in your colours, with your logo. It only exists from 5 matches and 4 players in the month: below that, you get nothing, because a poster announcing two games does your club no favours.
The week's close
The match count in large type, the change from the week before if it's a good one, the player count, and a single player of the week — named if they've shown up at least 2 times. From 3 matches and 4 players.
Two formats, three networks
Story or post, your pick in the share sheet. The caption is written for WhatsApp and Facebook, with the link to your page; Instagram takes no text, so a button copies the link for the story sticker.
No socials? Works anyway
The text is written for your players' group chat as much as for a public page, and on a computer the image downloads. This isn't a post: it's the month's honours list.
When, and for whom
At the start of each month, every manager gets a heads-up that their image is ready — in the app and on their phone, never by SMS. The image and its page are served to managers only: you decide whether to publish, and when. The last 3 months and the last 6 weeks stay open.
What's left out: private matches, training sessions, and the current month. And Boast never posts anything on your behalf on social media — we hand you the image, you post it.
Your manager space, room by room
In Settings, under My clubs, or from your own page — the entry is visible to you alone. Three views: what you come to do, what you come to see, what you set once and for all.
Tools
The front-desk screen, materials to display, images to post, your coaches, your groups — and your link to share, your page address to paste into your posts. It stays visible in plain text, copied with a single tap.
Statistics
From day one: the matches logged at your club, and the players who showed up — exactly those in your page's rankings. Then the last 8 weeks, one timeline for matches and one for players, each on its own scale, empty weeks shown as they are and the current week faded because it isn't over. Week after week, you see whether the place is playing.
Identity
The name, address, sport, a background and a text colour, the number of courts, the logo and up to 4 photos. The two colours are judged together: if the text can't be read on top, Boast tells you and says no. And if your colour is too light to carry light text, matches played at your club keep Boast's green in the feed.
Your coaches
You recognise a coach by searching for their name: it takes effect immediately, they have nothing to accept, and they're notified. Your club's name then appears on their profile, and they appear on your page. Either of you can remove it at any time. No qualifications are verified: the guarantee is yours.
Your groups
One group per class or per time slot, badged with your club. You get in via a link you share — your students follow it and join in one tap. The rankings can then be filtered on the group, and you can count only the games played between its members: your club's in-house league, running all by itself.
With a team
A club can be run by several managers, all equal: two partners, a front-desk lead. Boast is the one who links them, and each gets the picture of the month. You step down from your own role — nobody can remove a partner. If there's a disagreement, Boast is the recourse.
What you get, and what you don't see
Two messages are meant for you: the day a club is entrusted to you, and the start of each month when your image is ready. You get no player lists, no exports, no phone numbers — just aggregate figures, and the public rankings everyone already sees. What Boast measures on its own side to steer its launch isn't shown here.
Getting set up, from request to first match
About a week, and three things on your end: a form, a code by text, five minutes of colours.
Drop us a line
The form at the bottom of the clubs page: your club, your city, your sports, your name and your mobile. We'll call you back within 48 hours.
Boast verifies your club
Your page takes on your name, your logo, your colours and a readable address. If a player had already created your club, its page and its rankings carry over as they are; if there are two, Boast merges them without losing a thing.
Your account, and the keys
Your phone, a code by SMS, no password. The team links you to the club: you get the message handing your club over to you, your page carries the "Verified" badge, and the manager area appears — for your eyes only.
Five minutes on identity
Your colours, your logo, your photos, the number of courts. From then on, every game played at your club takes on your colours in the feed of all your players.
The kit and the screen
Boast supplies the kit, you put it up: one poster per court, the counter stand at the desk, stickers in the locker room — and the flyer whenever you like, from your space. If you have a tablet or a TV, the counter screen opens at its address and stays there.
What's next?
Nothing, day to day: the screen refreshes itself, the rankings fill themselves in, the monthly image lands in your inbox. Your coaches and groups get set up whenever you need them. Your players log their matches, you watch.
Boast doesn't tell your players your club is verified: the kit, the screen and word of mouth do. That's why putting it on display matters.
Your players, their data, and what Boast does with it
- Every player opens their own account and stays in control of what they post. You only get aggregate figures: never a list, never a phone number, no export. A player's number is never shown to anyone, anywhere.
- Every player chooses the visibility of each game: public, circle only, or private. A private game counts nowhere and shows up in no image.
- Scanning a QR code tracks no one: one counter per day, per club and per medium, nothing else. No tracking cookies, no identifiers. A player is only linked to your club the moment they create their account.
- No advertising, no profiling, no reselling: nothing is sold to your players, and nothing is sold about them. The server, the database and the backups are in France, and the data never leaves the European Union.
- Boast is published by Philippe Roualle; any request goes through contact@boast-app.com. Every player can delete their account from the app, and the erasure is real.
- 13 at minimum to open an account, date of birth declared at sign-up and never displayed, parental consent declared under 15. Below the minimum age, no account at all: a parent keeps the child's profile, and Boast stores nothing but the first name and last name.
- A filter screens out clearly abusive text, any content can be reported with a single tap, and every report is handled within 24 hours — it's written into our terms. Anyone can block a player; an offending account is banned and vanishes from the feed and the rankings alike.
- Your club is never deleted by moderation: a reported name or photo gets fixed, and your players' history stays intact.
- And if we reached out about your club: your professional contact details are only used for that conversation. Reply "stop" and we won't write again.
Price, time, and what Boast doesn't do
How much does it cost, and what do you ask of us?
Nothing: free for clubs and players alike, no ads, nothing sold to your players or about them. What we ask: a wall for a poster and a corner of the counter. Nothing to sign for any length of time, no exclusivity — one email, and we take it all down.
A player already created my club on Boast.
It's a standard listing, and its rankings are already filled in by the players who logged matches at your place. Verification turns it into a verified club, you become its manager, and nothing in the history is lost. If there are two of them, Boast merges them.
My players play elsewhere too.
Anyone who has played at your club appears in your rankings, with all their points for the period — earned at your club and elsewhere. So your rankings tell you who, among your players, is the strongest; not who scored the most at your club.
Do my players need to install an app?
Not to see the rankings: it's a page, you just scan it. To post a score, you need an account — two minutes, a phone number and a code by SMS, no password — from the site or from the app, your call.
My players aren't very comfortable with their phones.
That's exactly why there's no password: a phone number, a code by SMS, that's it. The rankings can be read on the bar screen without installing anything. And those who never sign up still play: their partners name them by their number — their name simply won't appear on any public rankings until they have an account.
What if someone posts a fake score?
The loser has their window to decline, and declining isn't anonymous: the match then vanishes for everyone. The points system takes care of the rest — beating the same people over and over, or players nobody knows anything about, earns you next to nothing.
Won't rankings create tension?
That's what brings people back: rankings you check at the bar are a rematch waiting to be booked. And the scoring rewards variety of opponents over sheer volume — nobody climbs by beating the same player again and again. And a loss never takes points away.
We have several sports, or several addresses.
One profile per sport and per address, each with its own rankings, page, screen and kit. The name is shared, the rankings never are: your players from two cities don't cross paths, and a combined table would mean nothing.
Two of us manage the club.
Several managers, all equal, linked by Boast: each has their own space and receives the image of the month. You step down from your role yourself — no one can remove a co-manager.
We have kids playing at our club.
You need to be over the minimum age to open an account. Below that, no account at all: a parent keeps the child's profile — a first name, a last name — and that profile counts in your club's rankings like any other player.
Will my players be bombarded with notifications?
No: never more than one push notification every 5 minutes, email off by default, and SMS reserved for two cases — an invitation received, and a game recorded against them. Everything is set category by category. A club you follow notifies you once a week at most, and only when there's something worth saying.
Who owns the results — and what if Boast stops?
To the players: what they post stays theirs, and anyone can delete it. Not the club's, not Boast's. If Boast ever shut down, you'd have lost a poster and a stand; your players would have kept their matches.
Does Boast handle bookings, payments or club management?
No, and it's not on the cards: we count the points, and that's all we do. Boast sits alongside your booking software, it doesn't replace it.
And what doesn't exist yet?
Three things come up often, and here's exactly where they stand: attendance stats — quiet hours, busy days — don't exist today; club-versus-club challenges are on the roadmap, with no date; posting on your social networks for you, no — we hand you the image, you post it.
Your turn to play.
Your rankings may already exist, and your players are filling them in. All that's missing is your name on top. It's free, there's nothing for you to enter, and it takes about a week to get started.
