Facility partners
You don’t have a courts problem — you have a reason-to-come-back problem. The Gauntlet is a recurring competitive night your members plan their week around, run on your courts by the platform, not by your staff.
It already worked once: the Colorado Springs pilot filled on word of mouth alone — 88 players, sold out, zero marketing spend. Denver is on the calendar; Birmingham is next.
The division of labor
You bring
Courts and a date
Your community — the pilot filled on word of mouth
Somebody who wants their venue to be where the city plays
Registration & payments
Players register and pay online. Caps are enforced, fields are visible, and walk-ups are handled at the desk.
Seeding & schedule, generated
Enter nothing. The platform seeds Divisions by DUPR and lays out every court and round.
Live boards & QR scoring
Scores come off players' phones through per-court QR codes. Standings move on the venue TVs as they land.
DUPR submission, optional
Run a night DUPR-rated or let each player choose. Results submit automatically for everyone who opts in — no spreadsheets, no complaints at the desk.
Your city's own site
A city hub with leaderboards, a ladder, founders and every event — the page your members check on Tuesday.
A director console
Running a Gauntlet night is a checklist, not a skill. Create an event in under five minutes; finalize it the same night.
The economics, out loud
Registrations run through the central Pro-Am Gauntlet payment rails, so your staff never touches a refund, a chargeback, or a cash box dispute — and a recurring Tuesday night is worth more than the gate: it’s the reason a membership doesn’t lapse.
What your director sees
Your director — your staff member, or one we help you find — runs the whole lifecycle from one portal: create, register, run live, finalize, settle. These are the actual screens, shown with demo data.
What saying yes commits you to
01
The demo night
Eight of your people, real accounts, a live game on your courts — and their ratings moving on the screen afterwards. That's the sales pitch, played.
02
The 90-day pilot
Your city goes up on the platform, a director from your side gets the console and a launch checklist: seed the ladder, run two Rec nights, first City Gauntlet inside 60 days. Success gates agreed before anything is signed.
03
Your city, live
Hub public, boards live, the calendar recurring. You keep the courts and the community; the brand, format, points engine and payment rails stay central.
If you run more than one location
Two of your clubs is a rivalry.
Each site runs its own night. The top finishers across them earn a regional qualifier, and one location hosts the final — the room everybody in the network is trying to reach. A marketing asset you already own and can’t currently use.
Talk to a person
No queue, no ticket. Nick handles facility partnerships and replies within two business days— usually with two or three dates for the demo night, because that’s the fastest way for both sides to know.
Rather write it out? info@proamgauntlet.com reaches the same desk.
Run a Gauntlet on your courts
No deck. We bring the platform to your courts and run a real session with eight of your people — about ninety minutes, and they keep the accounts.
