What’s new

For organizers ·

How did the night go? Now you know.

After each club night closes, the people who run the Castle get a short recap: who came, who was new, how many games, how the disputes ended. Counts only. And by email the morning after, if you want it.

A long row of tables set for a club night: wooden boards with their pieces on the starting squares, a chess clock and a blank table tent at each board, players seated down both sides.

The short version

  • A recap of each club night on your organizer panel, for a week
  • Who checked in, first-timers, games played and rated, disputes and how they ended
  • The typical wait for a game, once there were enough pairings to say
  • Counts only: never a name, never a rating
  • By email the morning after, only if you switch it on

You closed the lobby, stacked the boards and turned off the lights. On the drive home the question is always the same: was that a good one? Until now the honest answer was “it felt busy”.

So now, once a night closes, your organizer panel shows a night recap for a week. How many people checked in (members, guests and players on your roster), how many of them were there for the first time, how many games were played and rated, how many results you or another organizer settled, and every dispute with how it ended. If people used Find me a game, it also tells you the typical wait for one, once there were enough pairings to say anything fair.

It’s numbers, nothing else. No names, no ratings, no who-played-whom. It’s for the people who own or organize the Castle; helpers and players don’t see it.

The morning after

Prefer it in your inbox? Switch on night recaps in Settings, under Email, and the same recap comes the morning after each night at a Castle you run, at 9:00 your club’s time. A night where nobody came sends nothing. Every one has a one-tap link to stop them, and we don’t track opens.

Clubs trying out “How was tonight?” also get one line in words once the question closes, like “Most had a good night”, as long as at least five people answered. Never the numbers, never who.
