Join games at your level. Leave for free until the game fills.

-

Play and confirm
Say who turned up and, for competitive games, enter the score. Reliable players rise.
Reliability
Everyone starts at 100. Dropping out of a full game or not turning up costs you; playing earns it back. Hosts can set a minimum.
Skill level 0.5–7
Take a short quiz to start. Competitive results move it up or down from there, so games stay even. Levels explained
Points and streaks
Earn points for playing, hosting and filling the last spot. Play weekly to build a streak and climb the monthly leaderboard.

Questions
How does ShuttleFour work?
Hosts post a badminton game at a venue and time. Players at a similar level join until every spot is filled (four for doubles, two for singles). Once it is full the game locks in, and the court details and contact numbers are shared with the group.
Is it free to use?
Yes. ShuttleFour is free. Court hire is paid to the venue as usual, and hosts can show the cost per player on the game.
Do I need to book a court myself?
The host books the court, either before posting the game or once it fills. ShuttleFour does not take bookings or payments for venues.
What level do I need to be?
Everyone has a level from 0.5 (beginner) to 7. You set your starting level with a short quiz, and it adjusts as you play competitive games. Each game shows the levels it is for.
What if someone drops out or does not turn up?
Leaving is free until a game is full. After that, dropping out lowers your reliability score, and not turning up lowers it more. Full games keep a waitlist, so a dropped spot is usually filled automatically.
What is the difference between friendly and competitive games?
Competitive games record a result, which moves the players' levels. Friendly games are just for fun and do not affect levels.
