Everyone sees the level before joining.

I keep the ball in play more and am starting to use the lob and the back glass.
Level estimated from a questionnaire
A spot taken is a share paid.
A player confirms their spot by paying their share by card. It’s held, then collected when the slot starts, into your club’s Stripe account, with no commission. Only Stripe fees apply.

The details.
Who can join an open match?
Any adult player with a Palarena account. When they take the spot, they accept your club’s booking terms and pay their share. They’re then added to your player list.
What happens if no one joins?
That’s up to you. With automatic cancellation, a match that isn’t full and paid by the cutoff you set, between 2 and 12 hours before the start, is canceled. The slot opens back up and the players are refunded. It applies to matches opened at booking. Otherwise, the booking stands.
Where do players see open matches?
In your club’s app, on the home screen and in the Matches tab. The Palarena app also shows them to players looking for a game near your club.
Does my team open the games?
No. Opening a game is always up to the player who booked it, and only they can close it again. Your team follows the booking in the schedule, and a manager can add a player to it or cancel it.
Do open matches cost extra?
No. They’re included in your subscription, with no commission on the spots players take. Stripe fees apply, as with any online payment.
