Event chat
Every Xsporty game has its own chat: who's in it, replies, reactions, pins, read receipts, game cards and reporting.

The event chat is the group chat for one game — and only that game. Logistics live with the event instead of getting buried in a 23-person WhatsApp thread.
Who's in the chat
Everyone on the roster, the reserve list and the organizers. When you leave a game, you leave its chat. Open it from the Group chat button on your Up next card, from the game's page, or from Messages under the Games tab.
What it's for
- Logistics: "Gate code is 1234", "we're on court B", "running 10 minutes late".
- Teams: when the organizer builds teams, they're posted to the chat so everyone knows which shirt to bring.
- Changes: the app posts a line whenever the organizer changes the time, place, price or spots, and when players join, leave or move up from the reserve list.
- Awards: after the game, the MVP and award winners are announced here.
What you can do
Press and hold a message to Copy, Reply, react with an emoji, Pin it (up to three pins per chat, for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days), or Report it. Your own messages can be edited or deleted within 15 minutes. Use @ to mention someone. Tap the small read indicator next to your message to see who has read it and who it was delivered to.
Paste an Xsporty game link in any chat and it turns into a live card with who's going and a Join button.
Notifications
Chat messages arrive as Message Notifications. Turn them off in Notification Settings to check chats on your own time, or set Quiet Hours. See Notifications.
Keep it friendly
The same rules apply here as everywhere on Xsporty. To report a message, press and hold it and tap Report. See Community guidelines.
Frequently asked questions
Can I message one player privately?
Yes. Tap their name in the chat to open their profile, then tap Message. See Direct messages.
Do I lose the chat after the game?
The chat stays with the event. Game chats are listed in Messages for 30 days; older recurring games are collapsed to the latest one.
Can people who aren't in the game read the chat?
No. Only the roster, the reserve list and the organizers can open the event chat.
Still need help?
Players, organizers and venues — we reply in English or Español.
