Benchwarmer
Why This is an Opportunity
Every city has thousands of casual sports groups coordinated through painful group chats. The people who organize these are desperate for something better than 'everyone reply 1 if you're in' — and the social/competitive features make it sticky.
Key Pain Points
- •Sending 'who's in this week?' to a group chat every single week and chasing non-responders
- •Teams end up wildly unbalanced because the same people always pick their friends
- •No record of wins, scores, or stats — arguments about who's actually the best never get settled
- •Someone always claims they RSVPed when they definitely didn't
