  • DiNKR allows you to build invite lists based on skill, location, and availability.

  • You choose whether to keep invite-only, or open to the public.

Player Ratings

  • After each game, you can log scores and update ratings.

  • Ratings adjust based on match results, intensity, and consistency, so they grow with you.

  • Receive reminders for upcoming matches.
