JoinContest
Shared tools for creating, scoring, and running contests.
Contest platform
Run any contest, from anywhere.
Create a Space for your club, league, fundraiser, or friend group. Launch contests, invite participants, track scores, and celebrate winners—live, remote, or recurring.
Phone-friendly join
Live leaderboards
Flexible scoring
Entry payments
2 Spaces included
Running a competition should not mean spreadsheets, DMs, and guesswork.
JoinContest gives organizers one place to set rules, invite participants, track scores, and share results—whether the contest lasts one night or a whole season.

FAQ
Common questions
What is JoinContest?
JoinContest is a contest platform. You create an Account, add Spaces for your groups or locations, and run Contests with rules, participants, scoring, and leaderboards.
What is a Space?
A Space is where your contests live—it can represent a golf club, bar, charity, company, family group, league, or online community. A Space is broader than a physical venue.
Do I need a live queue?
No. Queues are great for on-site events like simulator nights, but many contests run async over days or weeks with leaderboards only.
How many Spaces are included?
The basic plan includes 2 Spaces on one Account—$9.00 per month or $90.00 per year.
Can participants join from their phones?
Yes. Each contest has a branded page where participants join, pay optional entry fees, and follow standings.
How do entry fees work?
Entry fees are optional. Connect Stripe on a Space to collect contest payments; platform billing for your Account is separate.
