CLUSTER GAMES-PICKUP-SPORTS · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-05-07
Pickup sports game finders
This cluster consists of apps and web apps that help users discover, create, and join local pickup sports games, often with map-based or location-filtered views, group coordination, and player reliability scoring. Dated entries begin in 2016-03 with one app, then a single 2021-09 entry, followed by a slow trickle from 2025-02 onward, with the most dated entries in late 2025 and early 2026 (2025-11 had two, and 2026-02 through 2026-05 each had one). Traction leaders, all with zero stars on the activity signal, are pickup-gt, Courtside - Social Sportsbook, and Swish Sports.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
