Pickup game etiquette every player should know

Great sports communities are built on trust. A few etiquette habits make Squadd games better for hosts and players.

Be honest about skill

If a game says intermediate, do not join as a complete beginner without asking. Hosts set skill filters so everyone enjoys the match.

Respect time and money

Arrive on time. Confirm cost split before play. If you cancel, do it early so the host can refill the slot on Squadd.

Stay safe with new players

Meet at the booked venue, keep chats in-app when possible, and follow community guidelines. Report issues through Squadd support channels.

What should I do if I cannot make a game?
Cancel early in the app or message the host as soon as you know. Last-minute no-shows leave others paying for empty slots.
