Automatically Invite Players to Your Team
Revolutionary roster management that fills your games automatically. Set it once, and never manually chase players again.
The Future of Team Coordination
Sportal's automatic invite system is the only one that truly works on autopilot
How Automatic Invites Work
Build Your Ranked Roster
Create your team or pickup roster and rank players from top choice to last. Put your most reliable players at the top, occasional players in the middle, and backup substitutes at the bottom.
Create Event & Set Player Count
When creating a game or event, specify how many players you need. For example, 10 players for basketball, 14 for soccer, or any number for your sport.
Enable Auto-Invite Mode
Toggle on automatic invites. The app will immediately start inviting your top-ranked players up to the number you specified (plus a few extra to account for declines).
Automatic Cascading Invites
When someone declines, the next person on your ranked list is automatically invited within seconds. No action needed from you. The system keeps inviting until your event is filled.
Game Fills Automatically
Once you have enough confirmed players, the auto-invite stops and you get a notification. Your game is ready to go, and you didn't send a single manual invite!
Real Example: Weekly Basketball Game
Scenario:
You run a Tuesday night basketball game that needs 10 players. You have a roster of 25 people—some regulars, some occasional players, some backups.
Traditional Method:
- •Monday: Send mass text to all 25 people
- •Wait for responses (some people never reply)
- •Tuesday morning: Only 6 people confirmed
- •Frantically text 4 specific people individually
- •2 hours before game: Still only 8 confirmed
- •Panic text everyone else begging for 2 more
- •Total time spent: 1-2 hours over 2 days
With Sportal Auto-Invite:
- •Monday: Create event, set to 10 players, enable auto-invite (2 minutes)
- •System automatically invites top 15 ranked players
- •Players respond over next 24 hours
- •Each decline triggers automatic invite to next ranked player
- •Tuesday afternoon: You get notification "Game is full with 10 confirmed players"
- •Total time spent: 2 minutes
Advanced Automatic Invite Features
Max Attendees Control

When someone declines, the next invite goes out within seconds—not hours or days. Keep your roster filling momentum going.

Perfect For These Situations
✓ Weekly Pickup Games with Varying Availability
Not everyone can make every game. Auto-invite ensures you always have enough players regardless of who can make it that week.
✓ Large Roster with Rotating Players
Managing 20+ players manually is impossible. Let the system handle invites while you focus on ranking players appropriately.
✓ Multi-Team Managers
If you manage multiple teams or games, auto-invite multiplies your time savings. Set up all your games once and let automation do the rest.
✓ Competitive Events Needing Top Players
For important games, ensure your best players get invited first. If they decline, the system automatically moves down to your next tier.
Common Questions
Can I change the ranking after enabling auto-invite?
Yes! You can adjust rankings anytime, but it won't affect invites already sent. Future cascade invites will use your updated ranking.
What if I want to manually invite someone not on my roster?
You can always send manual invites alongside auto-invites. Add them to your roster on the spot or send a one-time invite for that specific event.
Does it stop inviting once the game is full?
Yes! Once you hit your target number of confirmed players, auto-invite stops. You'll get a notification that your game is ready to go.
What happens if someone cancels after the game is full?
The system automatically invites the next person on your ranked list to fill the gap. You'll get notified but don't need to do anything.
Is this feature free?
Absolutely! Automatic invite management is part of the core Sportal app, which is completely free with no ads.
