MatchTime
AI-powered · Live in WhatsApp · No app install for players

Run your weekly match
on autopilot.

MatchTime reads your WhatsApp group, understands who's playing, balances teams, chases replacements, and handles ratings — so you stop refereeing the group chat.

No player sign-ups requiredAny sport, any formatMultiple groups, multiple admins
Why MatchTime

The boring admin, done for you.

Every weekly-match organiser knows the pain: chasing names, rebalancing teams, collecting money, nagging late replies, arguing over who's on the bench. MatchTime reads the chat, understands it, and handles the whole cycle — in the same group you already use.

AI reads the group chat

Claude understands every message — not just 'IN' or 'OUT'. Excuses, conditional commitments, replacement requests and questions all get classified and handled correctly.

Zero-friction attendance

Players reply naturally in WhatsApp. The bot logs them, reacts with their slot number, and answers 'do we have enough?' questions instantly.

Auto-balanced teams

Elo from real match results + per-position composition + peer ratings. Snake-draft seed, hill-climb refine. Posted on match-day morning.

Ratings & Man of the Match

One-tap magic-link DMs collect 1–10 ratings + MoM picks. Votes merge from WhatsApp polls + in-app. Winner announced 5 days later.

Smart bench + replacement chase

Someone drops, the bot asks the group — and chases again at the right times: match morning, 3 h before, 2 h pre-kickoff. Stops the moment you're full.

Payment polls

Tick to pay. Posted after every game, tracked in the admin dashboard. No more 'who didn't pay last week' detective work.

Short-week safety net

Low numbers? The bot DMs admins the day before with a one-tap switch to a smaller format, or a cancellation if you're below the minimum. No phone-call chains.

Magic-link sign-in

Players never create accounts or remember passwords. Every link the bot DMs signs them in automatically for 5 days.

Multi-group, multi-admin

Run Tuesday 7-a-side AND Thursday basketball from the same dashboard. Add or remove admins; everyone gets chase DMs.

Elo rating that self-calibrates

Every recorded score updates each player's rating. Margin of victory counts. Over a season the team-balancer actually gets smarter.

Time-smart reminders

Daily roll-call at 17:00. Pre-kickoff at T−2 h. Football? Bot reminds the group to bring goalie gloves and a ball. No mental load for you.

Any sport, any format

Football 5/7/11-a-side, futsal, basketball 5v5 or 3v3, netball, volleyball, cricket — or roll your own custom sport with positions and team size.

New · Player experience

  • Answered privately by DM, so the group chat stays clean.
  • Locked to your group's matches — it can't reveal phone numbers, other people's data, or anything off-topic.

How it works

Three steps to autopilot.

Set it up once, play every week. MatchTime takes care of the rest.

  1. 1

    Create your group

    Pick a sport preset (football 7-a-side, basketball 5v5, or custom). Set your venue, day, time and squad size. Takes under five minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the bot to WhatsApp

    Invite MatchTime's number to your group. It auto-onboards every member, reads the chat every 10 minutes and starts handling attendance, questions and drops.

  3. 3

    Play & rate

    On match day the bot posts balanced teams, asks for the score, DMs rating links, tallies MoM votes — and does it all again next week.

Built for the admin, invisible to the player.

Players never have to download anything. Admins get a full dashboard — override positions, seed ratings, switch formats, see every rating ever given. The bot sits in the middle doing the tedious bit.
