Skoryd

Notifications

Skoryd can send push notifications so you don't miss a match that needs your confirmation or an organizer call for help.

Note

Match alerts — your match is ready and you're up next — are switched on per event by the organizer, and shown on My Event.

Note

Organizers: a Tell club members when registration opens box sits right under the registration times on every event's create and edit forms (and on a bundle's, where it can set every event at once). Your club's Settings → General decides whether it starts ticked. Once registration has opened, the box has done its job and can't be changed.

What you'll be notified about

  • A match needs your confirmation — when a result is submitted for a match you played, from a phone or a scoring kiosk, you get a nudge to open the app and confirm it. The side that submitted the score isn't buzzed; the in-app banner still shows for them.
  • Assistance requests (organizers) — when a scorer at your event taps 🆘 Need help?, you're notified so you can head to their court. See Requesting assistance.
  • Waiver to sign — when an organizer adds you to an event that needs a waiver you haven't signed.
  • Followed players go live — when a player you follow starts a match.
  • Club applications (organization directors) — when a club applies to join an organization you direct. You're told if you can review it: the organization's owners, plus any regional director whose region covers the region the club asked for. A banner at the top of every page stays up until the application is approved or rejected, and tapping it opens the Clubs tab.
  • Sanction requests (organizers and organization directors) — directors hear when a club asks to run an event for a region they direct, with a banner that stays up until it's decided and opens the Events tab. The organizer who asked hears when it's approved or declined. See hosting an event for a higher region.
  • Event cancelled — when an event you're registered or waitlisted for is cancelled. It includes the organizer's reason if they gave one, and tapping it opens the event.
  • Event invitations — when an organizer puts you on the list for an invite-only event. Tapping it opens the event so you can register.
  • Registration opens — when a club you belong to opens registration for an event you could enter. It arrives once per event, at the moment registration opens, which can be a time the organizer set in advance. Each event of a divisions or multi-event bundle announces itself; a bundle you register for once sends one for the whole bundle. You aren't told about an event you're already registered for, or one whose division or stat limits would turn you away. Tapping it opens the event.
  • Support replies (organizers) — when Skoryd answers a support conversation you started. These can't be turned off; see Getting help.

Some notifications are just a nudge to open the app: a match to confirm, a help request, a waiver, a club application or a sanction request opens Skoryd, and the banner at the top of the page takes you the rest of the way. The others (a followed player going live, match alerts, a cancelled event, an invitation, registration opening, a support reply) open the page they're about.

Turning notifications on

On your Dashboard you'll see a Turn on notifications card. Tap Turn on notifications and allow them when your browser asks. You can manage them later from My Profile → Edit profile → Notifications, under Notifications on this device.

There are two levels of control:

  • Notifications on this device — the master switch for push on the current phone, tablet, or computer. A subscription is per device, so turn it on for each one you want.
  • Per-category — turn individual types on or off (match results, assistance requests, waivers, followed players, your match is ready, you're up next, event cancelled, event invitations, registration opens, club applications and sanction requests). These apply across all your devices. Turning one off stops the push only; anything that has an in-app banner still shows it.

iPhone & iPad

On iOS, Safari only delivers push notifications to an installed app, not a browser tab. To enable them:

  1. Open Skoryd in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen.
  3. Open Skoryd from the new home-screen icon and enable notifications there.

See Install the app for the full walkthrough — it's worth doing on Android too, notifications aside.

Note

If you're an iPhone user in a browser tab and don't install the app, you simply won't get pushes — but the top-of-page banner still tells you when a match needs confirming, so you'll never miss one inside the app.

Signing out

Signing out removes that device's push subscription, so your notifications won't keep buzzing a phone someone else later logs into.
