A two-minute tour
It tells you how strong any player is, it projects the lineup the other team is likely to field and builds the one most likely to beat it, it lets your whole circle scout opponents together, you can ask it a plain question about a player or a USTA rule, and it runs your match day so the team stays on the same page. Here's each piece.
Every player carries a Power Rating we compute from real match results, not TennisRecord's numbers. You get a tier, where they rank in their level, their record split by singles and doubles, and how they've been playing lately.
Elite Top 4% of Level 3.5
Tap any name anywhere in the app, in a lineup, on a roster, on a posted card, and this pops up. No more separate spreadsheet.
Weighing two players? Put them side by side to see who's stronger and by how much. Search finds the right person even if you fumble the spelling.
This is the heart of it. Pick your team and an opponent, and CaptainAIQ runs every pairing against their roster and hands you the lineup most likely to win the tie. Each court shows your odds, and it lays out the plan in plain English. See the opponent two ways, their strongest lineup or who they'll likely play, and edit any slot on either side to play what-if; the odds update live. It also reads the other captain's habits from their real scorecards, which pairs they keep together and whether they stack or spread, so you can plan for what they'll actually do.
Strongest or Likely? Flip the opponent projection. Strongest assumes they field their best roster on paper. Likely puts their players where they actually play, read from real match history: which court each of them keeps turning up on and who they regularly partner with. It also works in anyone still needing a qualifying match for State, since captains tend to get those players on court. Either way your lineup is rebuilt against that read. If a team has too little history to go on, the app says so on screen and leans on ratings instead, and Tri-Level stays rating based because the levels are locked to the courts.
Not sure about a call? Every slot is a dropdown. Swap anyone and the odds update as you go. "Reset to optimal" puts the computer's pick back.
A chat that knows your data. Ask about any player's record, how someone's been playing, or a USTA rule, and it answers from real match results and the official rulebooks, with citations you can tap to open the handbook at the exact page. It also knows who's leading a flight, can project an opponent's likely lineup, and lists every open clinic in town: try asking what you can go to on Tuesday. Follow-up questions work too, so you can keep digging without starting over.
It answers on a lot of fronts now: player stats from real results, USTA rules from the official regs, flight standings, opponent lineup projections, and every open Memphis clinic. When something is genuinely outside its data, it says so instead of guessing.
Faced someone tough? Leave a quick note: which hand, the stronger wing, whether the second serve is attackable, how they move, what they hit (flat drives or heavy topspin), the one ball they least want to see, and their temperament. Everyone who's played that person adds to a shared read, so you walk in already knowing what's coming. You keep your own private notes too.

To add your own read: search the player by name, or tap their name anywhere in the app, then tap Add a scouting note. For the trial it's open to any player, so go ahead and log the folks you've faced. (The normal rule is anyone you've played in the last six months, which keeps the intel honest.)
Notes are anonymous and pooled, so you see the group's read, never who said what. Right after a match, the app also nudges you to jot a note while it's fresh.
Your schedule loads itself, season, venues, and results, no typing, with the time and place on every match. One tap copies a ready-made ask into your group chat; players tap the link and answer In, Maybe, or Out in two taps. The tally fills itself, and one more tap nudges whoever's still quiet. You build the lineup from whoever's in, add a note, and post it. Every verified player gets an email with their court and partner and taps to confirm, so you see "6 of 8 confirmed" and who's still out. Everyone opens a clean card with directions and a one-tap add to their calendar.
Same coordination your team app already does, plus the win odds and the reasoning it never had.
The latest additions you'll notice.
Once a match has been played, open it from your schedule and tap the court you were on. It is the one thing no results feed records, and it is what builds your league's court history: the more that gets logged, the sharper the Likely opponent read gets for everyone in the flight. Tap an opponent's name while you are in there to leave a quick note on them. You also get a "How'd it go?" email after a match whose button opens that same sheet.
A captain or co-captain opens the match and taps Reschedule to set a new date, start time, or location. The schedule, the match sheet and the Add-to-Calendar link all follow the new time, and a lineup you already posted stays exactly as you set it. It does not email your team on its own, so tell them the way you normally would.
"Find a team" on Scout opens right where you are now. Type a captain's last name or a team name and you get their roster ranked by Power Rating, every name tappable through to the full card, plus where that team sits in its flight's standings. Handy the week before you play them.
Open a card on Scout and tap Share. On a phone it opens your normal share sheet, so the card goes into a text or the team group chat in one tap; on a computer it copies the line for you. Their level, Power Rating and record travel with a link that opens the same card, so the person you send it to lands on exactly the player you were talking about instead of hunting for them.
On Scout, tap "Top players by level" and pick a level and gender: the strongest players in that group, ranked by our own Power Rating, tappable through to the full card. Two rules keep it honest. Eight or more decided matches to appear, and no losing record in the top 10% of a level, because a hard schedule can float a losing record high and that reads wrong at the top of a board. Below that line a losing record can appear, marked "tough field." Player cards use the same ranking, so the board and the card never disagree.
Combo teams often file under a name with the market on the end, like Franks/Memphis, while the schedule carries just the captain's name. The app was looking for an exact match, so those matchups showed no opponent roster and the projection fell back to ratings. It matches on the captain's name inside the same flight now, so a matchup like Gibbs vs Franks scouts and reads the Likely opponent off the real roster. Some combo fixtures still come up empty, either because the two sides write the flight differently or because that team's roster is not loaded yet, and those are next.
My Team has a League standings section now. Every team in your flight, ranked by match record and then by courts won minus lost, with yours highlighted. It fills in as results come in, so you can see the playoff picture without hunting through TennisLink. Computed from the results we import, so TennisLink is still the official word.
Player cards show your place among the players at your level and gender when you're in the top half. Below that we skip the number on purpose, because "number 214 of 300" helps nobody mid-season, and give you an honest line about climbing instead. Your Power Rating, tier, record and Bump Watch are always there.
Someone missing from the roster? In My Team, tap "Add a player to the roster," type the name, and pick them. They're on the roster right away and can set their availability, so a last-minute add stops being an email to us. A player who left the team comes off the same way, and you can add them back whenever. Captains and co-captains only.
Open a match and tap "Build the lineup" and it builds right there on the match sheet. Every court is a dropdown, the odds move as you change a name, and the same screen carries Publish and Save as draft. No jumping between screens to finish a lineup.
Save a lineup as a private draft and nobody sees it but you. Come back to the match and it's waiting with your pairs, ready to post to the team in one tap when you've decided.
Build the same match twice, from the match sheet or from the season planner, and you get the identical lineup. The recommendation only changes when something real changes: who's available, who you pinned, or which way you're reading the other team.
Tap "I need a sub," pick how many spots, and paste the message into your group chat. The first player to tap "I've got it" claims the spot and everyone else sees it filled, so you never end up with two people thinking they're in.
Your recommended card gets re-scored against the different ways their captain could order the courts. If the plan only wins under one guess, we say so, and we name the steadier lineup that holds up whatever they do.
The posted lineup now carries a likely opponent under every court, and if you're on the card you get your own line: "Your matchup, court 2," with the players you'll probably face. Tap a name to scout them before you warm up. It's a projection from their roster, not their filed card, so it's a good guess rather than a promise.
The builder starts from the players who answered In and only borrows a Maybe when there aren't enough In players to fill the courts. Nobody who said they can play gets benched for a stronger Maybe.
New here? Type your name, pick yourself from the matches, and confirm your email once. No team to hunt for, no roster to scroll. Your matches, availability, and notepad unlock the moment you're identified.
Anyone on the roster can post to the shared team notepad, so carpools, court changes, and "running ten late" stop getting buried in the group chat. Captains keep a separate private pad that feeds the lineup builder.
Play on three teams? See them together on one month view, color-coded by team, with same-day clashes ringed in red. Answer availability right from the day panel, or subscribe once and it lands in your phone's calendar.
Build a lineup against any team and CaptainAIQ shows how that captain actually sets theirs, read from their real scorecards: which pairs they keep together, whether they stack the top court or spread out, and which courts they win. Patterns, not promises, but it's the edge you used to only get from years of playing them.
See who's trending toward the next NTRP level from our rating. It's a frozen prediction, locked July 2026, so you can check it against the year-end levels USTA publishes this December.
When you post, every verified player gets an email with their court and partner and taps to confirm they're good. You see "6 of 8 confirmed" and exactly who hasn't answered, so a no-show never surprises you on match day.
Each match now shows the time, home or away, and the location. Set your home court once and every home match fills it in; away matches pull the host team's court on their own. No more "wait, which club are we at?"
On your schedule, tap the other team's name to open their whole roster, then tap any player for their full card. Your scouting starts right from the match you're already looking at.
Brand-new season and combo schedules can lag a day before our sources catch up. If yours isn't showing, tap to send a photo of your TennisLink screen and we load it within the hour, home and away included.
Your own flight has a standings section in My Team. For any other flight, ask the chat and it builds the table from real match results, so you can see where every team sits without hunting through TennisLink.
On the Scout tab, drop any four players into two pairs and see the projected court odds, the same math the lineup board uses. Great for testing partnerships before you set a lineup.
Scouting notes now capture ball flight (flat drives vs heavy topspin) and each player's least favorite ball, so you know exactly what to feed them. Cards also show when a level is self-rated or appealed, not just computer-rated.
Verify who you are with a one-time email code (no password), and your name is locked to you so your reports and votes count. Your captain confirms it with one tap.
The clinics directory lists every drill, cardio session, and junior program open to non-members, now including Collierville, Germantown, and St. George's juniors, verified weekly. Browse it free, or ask the chat what you can play on Tuesday.
