Joining a club
Clubs are the home for organized play. Joining one lets you see and register for its members-only leagues and tournaments, and appear on its leaderboards. (A club's public events are open to anyone signed in, member or not.)
Find a club
Open Clubs from the menu and scroll to Discover Clubs to see clubs that have made themselves public. (Signed out, Browse clubs on the Home page shows the same Public Clubs list, and you sign in to open one.) Each club has an About page with its location, sports and public events. Some clubs also publish a leaderboard and their event history there.
Clubs you already belong to stay in the list, with a badge showing your role (Member, Organizer or Director), and tapping one opens the club. A club you've asked to join shows Pending.
Ways to join
- Request to join — on a public club's About page, tap Request to join. Your request waits for an organizer to approve it.
- Join code — on the Clubs page, tap Join with code and enter the code an organizer gave you. This also sends a request for an organizer to approve. After 10 tries in an hour (or 20 in a day) you're asked to wait before trying again, so double-check the code with the organizer if it isn't working. A club can make a new code at any time, and the old one stops working, so ask an organizer for the current code.
- Invite link — open the link an organizer shared. If the club has set its invite link to be pre-approved, you're a member straight away; otherwise it sends a request. New to Skoryd? The link takes you to the Sign in page; tap create an account there. This works even while Skoryd isn't open to new sign-ups, and your new account joins the club once you confirm your email. If the link says it doesn't work, the club may have reset it: ask an organizer for the current one.
- Email invite — an organizer can email you the invite link and join code from the club's settings. Tap the link in the email, or use the join code.
Membership status
Your membership has a status:
- Pending — you've requested to join and an organizer hasn't acted yet. Until you're approved you can't see or register for the club's members-only events.
- Approved — you're a full member and can register, play, and appear on the club's leaderboards.
- Rejected / banned — an organizer has declined or removed you.
Note
If you were added to a match as a guest before you had an account, claiming your guest code automatically creates a pending membership in that club — an organizer just needs to approve it. See Guests & walk-ins.
Leaving a club
Open the club and find Your membership at the bottom of the sidebar, then tap Leave club. If your request is still pending, the club page shows Cancel request instead.
Leaving takes away your access to the club's members-only events, leaderboard and member list. Your match history stays — games you already played still count on that club's leaderboard, where your row is marked Former member, and on your profile. You can ask to join again later, and an organizer would need to approve you.
Note
You can't leave while you're still on the roster of an event that hasn't finished — you'd stay on that roster while losing the ability to see or score your own matches. The dialog lists the events in your way. Where registration is still open you can withdraw yourself, unless you've been marked paid or the event takes its fee online; once registration has closed or the event has started, only an organizer can take you off.
Two cases can't leave at all:
- The club's director — open the club's Manage page, then Settings, and on the Ownership tab either hand the club to someone else (Transfer ownership) or delete it (Delete club, under Danger zone). See Handing off or deleting the club.
- A removed (banned) player — only an organizer can undo a removal.
Roles
- Member — plays in the club's events.
- Organizer — a member the club has promoted. Creates and runs events, manages the roster, and handles scoring disputes.
- Director — the club's owner. Everything an organizer does, plus the club's own settings and ownership.
