Guests & walk-ins

Not everyone who shows up has an account. Guest players let you include walk-ins in matches and events right away, and let them claim their results later.

Adding a guest

When you're starting a Quick Play match, tap + Add guest player instead of scanning a QR; when filling an event roster, use Add guest + register. You give the guest a name (and optionally a real email). Skoryd creates a lightweight guest profile and a claim code in the form G-XXXXXX.

Give the claim code to the player so they can claim their results once they sign up.

Reusing a guest you've already added

Regulars who never sign up shouldn't get a new guest profile every week — that scatters their results across codes none of which shows their real record. So on an event roster, your club's existing guests come back:

  • In the guest name field. Tap into Guest's name under + Add a walk-in guest player and your club's guests appear. Type to narrow the list by any part of the name, then tap one to reuse them — same profile, same claim code, results all in one place. The claim code is shown beside each name so two guests called "Dave" are still tellable apart.
  • In the player list. Guests also sit in their own Guest players group under the club members, tagged Guest, so you can tick a few regulars and a few members and register them all in one go. They're not ticked by default — a club builds up guests over time and most of them aren't at tonight's event.

If you enter an email that matches an existing guest, Skoryd reuses that guest too.

Note

On an event that requires a waiver, a guest who hasn't signed the current version can't be added from the player list — they have no account to sign from. Add them through + Add a walk-in guest player instead, which collects their signature on your device. A guest who already signed isn't asked twice. Setting one up is covered in Requiring waivers at registration.

How guests appear in stats

  • Real players get full credit for matches against a guest.
  • The guest themselves is hidden from public leaderboards (their stats are private) until they claim the account.

Claiming a guest profile

When the guest creates a real account and enters their G-XXXXXX code:

  • All their past matches and registrations are re-attributed to the new account.
  • They're automatically added to the club as a pending member for an organizer to approve.
  • The temporary guest profile is removed.

Note

Unclaimed guests are cleaned up automatically after about 30 days. Deleting a guest doesn't delete the matches they played — the guest's slot just becomes "TBD" so the historical result stays intact.

Club vs global guests

A guest you create in club Quick Play or a club event is tied to that club (you must be an approved member to create one). Global Quick Play guests aren't tied to a club.
