Your box can see it, so can anyone you have played a friendly with, and so can your squad season if you captain a squad. You can clear it whenever you like.

Buyers message you on WhatsApp. No money changes hands in the app — agree the price and hand it over at the club. Sold as seen.
Weekly bulletin
Paste the same text you send to WhatsApp. Sections split on the ⸻ lines you already use, and the heading of each becomes the contents list on the card.

Sign in with your email to get on court.
You already have an account with this email. Sign in with your password, or we will email you a link.
You go in a box of players around your level, and play each of them once over the season.
The feed is your club's notice board, with every result, who is playing next and what is on.
Put a court up and see who takes it, whenever suits you. No group chat needed.
At least 6 characters.
Or type the 6-digit code from the email
You are all set. We will email you as soon as you have been put in a box.
Back on court in
24h 00m
Half the league has not played you yet. A photo makes it easier for them to say yes, and easier to find each other on court.
Have a read. We will only ask again if it changes.
Ratings from your opponents Beta
Strong or better shows with a name, the rest is pooled. Your ratings card shows once three opponents have rated you, and you can hide it on Me.
Squad captains can be messaged
If you captain a squad, the others in that season can see your number to arrange matches.
Bagels members of your club see your name, photo and results. Your own box also sees your phone number, if you added one, and so does anyone you have played a friendly with, and your squad season if you captain a squad.
Nobody else sees any of it, not other clubs and not your club's staff. Nothing is sold, and there is no advertising in here.
Ask us any time for a copy of everything we hold on you, or to delete it.

Position your photo
Passport style: head inside the oval, eyes on the line, shoulders along the bottom. Drag to move, pinch or use the slider to zoom.
Sort the time on WhatsApp?
You’re playing your opponent. Add your mobile and we’ll put a WhatsApp button on the match, with the message already written, so you can agree a time without chasing each other in here.
Players in your box can see it, and so can your squad season if you captain a squad. You can remove it any time in Me.
What shall we tell them?
Squads are open
Three of you, one team
At least one man and at least one woman, and no more than one Box 1 player, so the top of the league cannot all pile into the same squad. Otherwise pick who you like.
Two of you play, and you choose which
Doubles every week against another squad. You will not know which two they have brought until you get there, and they will not know yours.
Short of a third? Put two names down
Your squad goes up looking for one more, and anybody can see it needs somebody. You can add a player who is not on Bagels yet too.
Two is not a squad
Still short
Your racket
It shows on your profile so people know what you play with, and can ask you about it.

Would you lend it?
Only your club sees this, and nobody gets your number. If somebody asks, it comes to you and you decide.

It goes on the feed straight away, and anybody following the team is told. They get one more nudge the day before.

Your message
It goes to them and nobody else, and turns up on their feed under Action.
You are missing things
Half the league has notifications off. That means no word when someone offers you a match, no word when a score goes on the board against you, and no word when your 48 hours to confirm it are running out.
It takes about a minute to fix. Pick your phone.
iPhone: install it first
Apple will not let a website send you anything until it is on your home screen. This is the step everybody misses, and nothing works without it.
- Make sure you are in Safari. Not Chrome. Apple only allows this from Safari.
- Tap the Share button. The square with an arrow coming out of it, at the bottom of the screen.
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then tap Add.
- Close Safari and open Bagels from your home screen. The lime ring icon. This bit matters: opening it in Safari again will not work.
- Tap Turn on notifications, then Allow.
Needs iOS 16.4 or newer. If you are on something older, Settings, General, Software Update.
You are in Safari now, so the switch cannot be offered here. Do the steps above, then open Bagels from your home screen and this screen will offer it.
Android: two taps
- Tap Turn on notifications below.
- Tap Allow when Chrome asks.
That is it. You do not have to install anything.
Worth doing anyway: open the browser menu, the three dots, and choose Add to Home screen. It opens in one tap and the alerts arrive more reliably.
If you said No once, it stops asking
Browsers only ask the once. If you tapped No, or swiped the box away, the button will look like it does nothing. You have to turn it back on yourself.
On iPhone
Settings, Notifications, scroll to Bagels, turn on Allow Notifications.
On Android
Press and hold the Bagels icon, tap App info, then Notifications, and turn them on. If you never installed it, open Chrome, tap the three dots, Settings, Site settings, Notifications, and find this site.
Also worth checking
Focus or Do Not Disturb on iPhone, and Battery saver on Android, both hold notifications back quietly.
That is it
We just sent you a test one. If it did not appear, tap Still not working below.
Put the league on your home screen
One tap to open, and it lets match alerts reach you.
Put somebody on the court
They take the spot straight away, and they get told. If they cannot make it, they can hand the spot back.
