Can players join a match outside their level?

How Required and Suggested level settings work on public and private matches, and how requests to join work.

Written by Nettla

Yes, in two ways. If the match's level requirement is Suggested, anyone can join. If it is Required, a player outside the level range can send a request to join, and the organiser can accept it.

Required or Suggested

When a player creates a public or private match in the app, they choose a Level requirement:

  • Required: only players inside the level range can join directly.

  • Suggested: the level range is shown as a guide, but anyone can join.

Defaults:

  • Public matches start as Required.

  • Private matches start with your club's Default level requirement for private matches (Required or Suggested).

Requests to join

If a match is Required and a player's level is outside the range, they can request to join. The match organiser can accept the request in the app.

Changing the defaults

  1. Go to Settings → Rules & Limits.

  2. Open the Match Settings tab.

  3. Choose Required or Suggested in Default level requirement for private matches.

  4. Click Save.

Good to know

  • On the same tab you can set how wide a level range players can choose (the level spans).

  • Matches you create in the calendar are always Required. To let anyone join, set the level range from 1 to 7.
