Build and Run Your Game, League, Class or Group With Ease
StringMash works with text, so you know it's getting through, but it assists you by tracking responses and responding for you. It gives your group a link to keep up with the game status and enables them to invite more players. You build your game schedule, set player minimum and maximum numbers, and StringMash notifies members when the minimum is reached and caps the max number. It then builds a standy list and adds those players if someone drops. Once your players are in, you build the teams by drag and drop. On game day, everyone is sent an automated "check in" reminder so you can track who actually shows.
Here are some of the things the system takes care of for you.
Can’t Keep Up! Have more than 10 players and doing two (or more) group texts? StringMash sends texts individually to an unlimited number of players, who simply respond IN or OUT. They receive a game link so they can monitor who’s playing, check the schedule, and invite friends.
Can I Bring a Friend? Sure, the player just clicks on the game link (it’s in most text messages) and invites their friend from the mobile friendly page. The new player receives a message with instructions on how to join. Just like that, the game grows.
Forgot to Send Reminder! It happens, and all of a sudden you don’t have enough time to get players. StringMash will send the reminder for you, one of many less things to worry about.
Man down! When a player drops and you miss the text you lose valuable time finding another player. StringMash automatically alerts your players when the game drops below the minimum required players and boom, spot filled, and you haven’t lifted a finger!
Game On! Player’s need to know if the game is happening this week, StringMash alerts them automatically when you hit the minimum number required.
Too Many! Game is 7 on 7 but 25 players show up? StringMash enforces a max number of players for you. It puts players over the max on standby and alerts them first if someone drops.
No-Shows Game consistently hurt by a player not showing up? StringMash sends out a Check-in Message 30 minutes before the game starts and if a player doesn’t show the other players can mark them as a no-show through the game link. They get a warning and the system keeps a count of no-shows so you can take action, and even block, repeat offenders.
OUT this Week? Going to beach? If a player texts OUT they won’t receive another text until the reminder for the next game comes out.
OUT for a While? If a player gets injured or leaves town for a while they will want off the text thread for a while. In StringMash they simply text STOP and they’re unsubscribed. To get back on all they do is text your unique keyword when they want to return.
No Apps to Download Tried a 1000 apps that just get ignored, so you're back to text? StringMash is all text-based. It just makes that process a lot easier.
How it Works
Get a Number -- Invite Your Players
Example: Joe signs up, buys number 555-111-2222, and creates Saturday Morning Volleyball and assigns it Keyword VOLLEY. He sends text invites from StringMash to his friends (from any device). Also, he posts a flyer at his gym that says, "To join Saturday Morning Volleyball text VOLLEY to 555-111-2222".
Members Join Easily
Joe's friends know it's coming so they all respond with VOLLEY, Jeaves sees the poster and texts VOLLEY to 555-111-2222. StringMash prompts them to enter their names and that's it!
The Reminder
Joe sets up the schedule online then sends an announcement a few days before the game. He can do this from any device.
IN or OUT
Members respond IN or OUT. If the're IN they have a spot. If they're OUT they aren't disturbed until the reminder for the next game.
Game ON!
Joe needs a minimum of 6 players to have a game, once he gets it StringMash texts the IN players: Game ON!
Team Builder
Joe logs in and quickly builds his teams with the StringMash Team Builder. He then sends a message to the IN players with a game link so they can see which team they're on.
Check In
On game day StringMash sends a Check In text to the IN players. They respond CHECK. The system shows them as checked in. If someone doesn't show up Joe can mark them as a No-Show and they'll get a warning message the next time they join a game. It's up to Joe what to do with seial No-Shows. He can block them if wants.
GROW Your Membership
Viral Invites
StringMash helps you grow in several ways. First, you can invite players from the game number (it's yours) and all they have to do is respond with the keyword.
Second, members can invite friends from the game link, so if you're short players your exisitng players will work with you to grow membership.
Third, you can invite anyone to join through social media or flyers. All anyone needs is the number and your keyword.
