NoShowShield

NoShowShield is a mobile + web app for organizing pickup games and amateur leagues where cancellations and no-shows constantly ruin match quality. Hosts create events with a required deposit (or card hold), set cancellation windows, and define fair rules (refund, partial refund, or forfeit). Players join with one tap, get automated reminders, and can transfer their spot to a waitlist player if they can’t make it. The app tracks reliability scores over time (no public shaming—just practical signals for hosts), and supports “trusted groups” where deposits can be waived. Payments are handled transparently with receipts and dispute flow. This isn’t trying to be a social network; it’s a logistics and accountability tool that makes games actually happen. Monetization: small fee per paid event or subscription for frequent hosts/venues.
