Skoryd

Getting started

Welcome to Skoryd — a platform for cornhole leagues, tournaments, and casual play. This guide gets you from sign-up to your first match.

Create your account

  1. Tap Get started at the top of the page, or choose Create one under "Don't have an account?" on the Sign in page.
    • During the closed beta that button reads Apply for the beta instead. Fill in the short application. The first organizers to apply get their invitation by email straight away. Everyone else, including every player, joins the waitlist: you get an email saying where you are in line, and your invitation follows when a spot opens. The invitation's link opens the sign-up form with your email already filled in.
    • Invited to a club? You don't need to apply. Open the club's invite link, and on the Sign in page it brings you to, tap create an account. Your new account joins that club once you confirm your email.
  2. Fill in your full name, the display name other players will see, your date of birth (you must be 18 or older; the date itself isn't saved), your email and a password. Read through the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and tick the box to accept them. While the closed beta runs, the Beta Tester Agreement sits above them with its own box to tick.
  3. Check your inbox for a confirmation link and click it to verify your email. (If you don't see it, check your Promotions or Spam folder.)

If you already had an account when the beta started, Skoryd asks you to read and accept the Beta Tester Agreement the next time you open a page.

While Skoryd is reviewing new accounts, signing up without an invitation shows an Account awaiting approval screen until the Skoryd team approves you. A beta invitation or a club's invite link skips this.

Changing your email or password later, resetting a password you've forgotten, and signing out everywhere are all covered in Account & sign-in.

Tip

If you were sent a beta invitation, use the link in that email: it carries your invitation and fills in your email for you. If an organizer added you to a match as a walk-in guest and gave you a claim code, enter it in Guest claim code on the sign-up form so those matches move onto your new account. While new sign-ups are closed, tap Claim your match history on the sign-up page and enter the code there first; the sign-up form opens once the code checks out.

Set up your profile

Open the avatar menu in the top-right corner, choose My Profile, then Edit profile. Worth filling in:

  • Display name — what other players see on leaderboards and match cards.
  • Avatar — an optional photo; otherwise your initials are shown.
  • Stats privacy — Public (anyone can see your stats) or Private (hidden from global leaderboards and from players outside your clubs; members of your clubs still see all your stats from those clubs, plus your skill rating).

Your full name, email, and details like your hometown are kept separate from your public profile. The organizers of clubs you join can see them; other players can't. The one exception is if you organize a club and choose to publish your contact details on its pages: the Edit profile page asks you separately for each place, and shows your real name with them.

Your personal QR code

Open My QR Code from the avatar menu (top-right). This is your identity for in-person play: another player scans it to add you to a Quick Play match, and an organizer can scan it to check you in at an event. You never pick someone's name from a list: scanning a QR code is how Skoryd knows the right player is actually there. The same page has Scan a check-in code, for checking yourself in at an event.
