Lineup takes the group-chat shuffle out of game night

Lineup fills pickleball and platform-tennis games by texting a roster one person at a time until every seat is taken.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

Lineup uses sequential SMS rather than a group chat: an organizer names the game, the service works down the roster, and the first yes locks a seat. The example shows a Monday 8pm game at the Public Garden with four positions being filled. The page also describes calendar invitations, cancellation refills, quiet-hour handling, and a trial in which the team loads a club’s roster and tests the workflow on an actual game.
