How to Shuffle

5

A match is 4 total games played with the same 4 people at a designated time.

Pick a date, a time, a place and a skill level. Proposing takes one of the four seats, so you are already in — you need three more.

Somebody proposes a challenge, a challenge is another name for a match.

1

Anyone in the Shuffle can snag a seat. At four players the challenge on that date and time is filled. You can withdraw if anything comes up, but doing so within 24 hours of the match and not filling the seat will result penalty points.

Three other players join the proposed challenge (match)

2

Any of the four players can tap Start Match when you sit down together. It produces a QR code and alphanumeric code for the table.

One player starts the match on the web app

3

Everyone scans the code

4

Each player scans the QR code or enters the code that is displayed above the QR code. The match goes live only when the last person has scanned/entered the code, which lets the app know all four of you are at the table.

Once the match is live, the proposer submits the scores. Other players help verify the score. Scores being confirmed by the table is what makes the result count towards the standings.

Scores go in, then the table confirms them
