How It Works
Everything you need to know about GMNA — from creating your account to sharing match results on WhatsApp.
Create your free account
No app to download — GMNA runs entirely in your browser. Hit "Create your account", enter your email, and we send a 6-digit code. No password to remember.
After confirming your code, you complete a one-time profile: name, handle, gender, preferred side (right / left), and a short level quiz to seed your starting rating.
Your level rating
Every player gets a numeric level (e.g. 3.5). It starts from a quick self-assessment quiz and moves up or down after every Ranked game — based on who you beat and who beats you.
Casual games are just for fun and never touch your rating. Ranked games are the only ones that count. You can see your full rating history on your profile page.
Discover games
The Discover feed shows all upcoming open games in Bahrain. Filter by area, vibe (Casual or Ranked), join type (Instant or Approval), or gender-type.
Each card shows the court, area, date, time, spots left, the host's level, and who has already joined. Tap a card to see full details before deciding to join.
Create a match
Tap "Create a Match" to host your own game. Pick a court, date, time, duration, number of players (2 or 4), vibe, join type, and whether it counts as Ranked.
Important: GMNA does not book the court. Creating a game only posts that you're looking for players — you must book the court yourself, directly with the venue or through a booking app such as Malaeb.
Instant join: anyone can join immediately. Approval join: players send a request and you approve or decline each one from the Requests section.
Once created, your game appears in the Discover feed and you get a shareable invite link.
My Matches
My Matches shows every game you have joined or hosted — upcoming and past. Upcoming games show the countdown; past games show the result once scored.
From here you can access the score entry screen for any of your finished games, cancel a match you hosted, or jump straight to the game's share card.
Entering scores
After a game ends, the host enters the score (set-by-set, e.g. 6-4, 7-5). The opposing team captain then sees a "Confirm score" notification and approves or disputes it.
Only after both sides agree does the result lock in and ratings update. This two-step confirmation keeps every result honest.
If you forget to add the score, GMNA sends you a notification reminder — you'll also see a badge on the game card inside My Matches.
Sharing invites and results
Every match has a Share button. Tap it to open the share sheet.
Share on WhatsApp
Tapping "Share on WhatsApp" on a phone with WhatsApp installed uses the native share API to attach the match image directly to a WhatsApp chat — no screenshot needed.
On desktop or if WhatsApp isn't installed, the button opens wa.me with the match details pre-filled as a text message.
The shared image includes the court name, area, date, time, player names (for open invites) or the full score (for results).
Copy text
"Copy text" puts a pre-formatted WhatsApp-style message on your clipboard — bold court name, date, time, spots left, and the direct link to the match page.
Paste it into any chat: WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, anywhere.
More sharing options
The "More…" button triggers the device's native share sheet (on iOS and Android), letting you send the match link to any app — Instagram DMs, email, Snapchat, and so on.
Rankings and leaderboard
Coming soon — a live ranking of all GMNA players by level, with filters by area and gender. Your position updates the moment a ranked result is confirmed.
Coaches and tournaments
Coaches: book a session with a certified padel coach directly through the app.
Tournaments: sign up for official GMNA tournaments — brackets, draws, and results all in one place.
Both features are coming soon.
Privacy and safety
Your email is never shown publicly. Only your chosen @username and first name are visible to other players.
You control who joins your games: use Approval join type if you only want to accept players you know.
Account and profile
Update your name, handle, preferred side, and profile picture from the Profile page.
Your rating history, match record (wins / losses), and level graph all live on your profile — visible to you and, in future, to other players.
