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're an organizer and enter an email that matches one of your club's guests, Skoryd reuses that guest too. The guest keeps the name already on file, and Skoryd tells you when that differs from the name you typed.

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.

How long a guest stays

How long an unclaimed guest stays depends on how they were added:

  • Added to an event by an organizer — a walk-in on an event roster, a past guest re-added to one, a guest ticked in the player list, or a guest created by a match import. They stay in your club until an organizer deletes them, so a regular who never signs up keeps one profile and one claim code for as long as they keep coming.
  • Added to a Quick Play game — global or club. They're removed automatically 30 days after they were added. If an organizer later adds one of them to an event, they're kept from then on, like any other event guest. If a club member (not an organizer) added that guest in Quick Play, the guest also gets a new claim code at that moment, because the member who added them has seen the old one. Copy the new code from the Guest players tab to hand to the player.

The Guest players tab on the Members page says which is which: "Kept until you delete them", or the date a Quick Play guest will be removed.

Note

Removing a guest doesn't delete the matches they played: the guest's slot just becomes "TBD" so the historical result stays intact, and their opponents keep full credit. That's true whether the automatic cleanup removes them or you delete them yourself, the same as when a real player deletes their account. Once a guest is removed, their claim code stops working.

Managing your club's guests

Organizers see a Guest players tab on the club's Members page, beside the member tabs, with the number of guests in its label. It lists each guest's claim code, email (if you entered one), how many matches they've played and how long they'll stay. The search box above the tabs narrows the list by name, claim code or email. Tap edit beside a name to fix it. For each guest you can:

  • Copy code — copy the claim code to hand to the player.
  • Email link — resend the claim link (only when the guest has an email).
  • New code — replace the claim code; the old one stops working.
  • 🗑 (Delete guest on a phone) — permanently remove the guest and their claim code. Their matches stay, with the guest shown as "TBD". You'll be asked to type the guest's name to confirm.

On a phone these are tucked behind the ⋯ button at the end of each row.

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.
