The OpenSports × revolutioniseSPORT integration helps pickleball clubs automate membership verification during registration.
Instead of manually checking memberships and updating member status in OpenSports, admins can allow OpenSports to verify eligibility, apply member pricing, and guide players through the correct registration flow.
This helps clubs reduce admin work, improve the player experience, and keep registrations running smoothly.
What the integration does
The integration connects Pickleball Australia and club membership data from revolutioniseSPORT with OpenSports.
Once enabled, OpenSports can recognize active memberships during registration and use that information to manage:
- Member and non-member pricing
- Membership-required activities
- Membership prompts for players who need to link or purchase a membership
- Eligibility rules for events, programs, leagues, and tournaments
This is especially useful for clubs that offer member discounts, member-only activities, or visitor registration options.
How membership verification works
When a player registers for an event, program, league, or tournament, OpenSports checks their email against membership data linked through revolutioniseSPORT.
If the player has an active membership, OpenSports can:
- Recognize their membership
- Sync member details
- Apply member pricing
- Allow the player to continue through checkout normally
If the player does not have an active membership, they may be prompted to:
- Link an existing membership
- Purchase a membership during registration
- Continue as a non-member, if the club allows visitor registration
This removes the need for admins to manually approve or verify memberships.
Why a membership might not link
If a player’s Pickleball Australia or club membership is not recognized in OpenSports, it is usually because:
- Their OpenSports email does not match their revolutioniseSPORT email
- Their membership has not yet been updated in revolutioniseSPORT
- They are signing in with a different login method
Once the membership is linked successfully, future registrations can recognize the player’s membership automatically.
Tip: Encourage players to use the same email address on both platforms whenever possible.
How players can purchase a membership
If a player does not have an active membership, OpenSports can guide them to purchase one during the registration flow.
Players can complete membership signup and continue registering without needing to contact an admin manually. This creates a smoother experience for players while helping clubs grow memberships.
For visitors or casual players, clubs can also allow non-member registration.
Clubs may also set a participation limit. After a defined period or number of registrations, non-members can be prompted to purchase a membership before continuing to register.
Automatic membership pricing
Clubs can create different registration types and pricing rules for members and non-members using Member Rules.
Once a player’s membership is verified, OpenSports can automatically apply the correct pricing at checkout.
For example, clubs can:
- Offer discounted pricing for verified members
- Create guest or non-member pricing
- Restrict certain activities to eligible members only
This reduces pricing errors and removes the need for manual discounts.
Managing member and non-member registration
The integration gives clubs more control over access and eligibility across activities.
Clubs can use it to:
- Allow only members to register for certain events
- Charge different prices based on membership status
- Encourage repeat visitors to become members
- Keep registration options organized for both members and non-members
How to enable the integration
If your club uses revolutioniseSPORT memberships, request integration access through your revolutioniseSPORT portal or by emailing revolutioniseSPORT from your club’s registered email address.
Once access is enabled, OpenSports handles the technical connection and membership sync process.
