Pickup Curling Leagues / Draws
Dave Rapin
The ability to offer pickup curling leagues, or rather pickup curling draws.
Ideally a club can create pickup draws. These could be one-offs or recurring draws. This would include the following:
- The date
- The time
- The duration or end time
- How many sheets are used
- How many individuals may sign up
- A price per individual
- What is the threshold that constitutes "filled" with enough people to proceed.
- How many days before it occurs it must be filled by
The goal is to allow curlers to join a casual pickup game without committing to an entire season or league, and by doing so, maximize ice usage during off-nights / non league times.
The curlers perspective:
- If they are using pickup.curling.io then we show a list of pickup draws, ordered by date/time within some distance radius (10 miles, etc.). If they are on the club's I/O site itself, then we just list by date.
- Each draw will show it's status (filled or how many slots still available).
- If a draw is full, the curler should be able to join a waitlist for it, which send an email if a curler cancels.
- If a draw is not full, they should be able to register for that draw.
- Fill out or select a curler profile.
- Potentially pick a team they want to play on (random teams pre-created based on available sheets?)
- Accept the clubs waiver if they haven't done so yet for the current season.
- Enter their credit card for a delayed payment.
- Once the "fill by" date has passed, their credit card is charged.
- If they cancel before the "fill by" date, no charge will be incurred and their slot will open up to others and the waitlist if there is one.
Some considerations:
- Offline payments will NOT be accepted. This will be an online payment via credit card feature only. Offline payments would make this way too complicated, and no one wants to chase people down for $10-20.
- Need to be able to auto-cancel the event if there are not enough signups.
- No one should be charged until the event is filled / confirmed.
- Cancellations should NOT refund payments, since payment is not made until filled / confirmed.
- Concerned about increased chargebacks / disputes when dealing with small payments like this. Dispute resolution is archaic and painful due to bank involvement.
- Existing draw schedules and rental bookings must be respected.
- We want to help clubs maximize ice usage by surfacing and promoting time slots when nothing else is happening.
