Introducing RallyCall: Put It to the Club and Let Everyone Vote
Every tennis group has a decision stuck in limbo. RallyCall settles it: post the question, let everyone vote, and watch the results come in live, instead of a group chat where forty messages produce no decision.

Deuce is holding the ballot box, because every tennis group has a decision stuck in limbo, and "just put it to a vote" is usually the fastest way out.
Clay or hard for the comp? Saturday morning or Sunday arvo? Which new club shirt? Pizza or burgers after the social night? RallyCall is the feature that settles it. Post the question, let everyone vote, and watch the results come in live, instead of a group chat where forty messages produce no decision.
What it is
RallyCall is RallyHub's polling and voting hub. Anyone can put a question to the community, add a handful of options, and collect votes with live results. It handles the quick "what does everyone reckon" polls and the more involved ones with images, comments, predictions, and a recurring schedule.
How it works
- Live results. Votes tally in real time, so you watch the bars move as people weigh in. No waiting for a manual count.
- More than a tick. Polls can carry comments so people can argue their case, images on the options, and a predictor mode where you guess the outcome and earn XP for calling it right.
- Recurring and reusable. Set a poll to repeat (weekly "who is in for Saturday?") and save templates so you are not rebuilding the same question every week.
- Transparent by default. Results are visible to everyone who can see the poll, so the decision is the group's, not one person's.
How to use it
- Open /rallycall to see active polls.
- Create one at /rallycall/create: write the question, add your options, and decide whether to allow comments or predictions.
- Share it with your group and let the votes roll in.
- Close it when you are done, and the result is locked in for everyone to see. Check the history for past calls.
RallyCall or RallyForge?
Quick gut check on which to reach for. RallyCall is for a decision: a question, some options, a winner. RallyForge is the full form builder for surveys with several questions when you need richer feedback. One settles a debate, the other gathers detail.
Why we built it
Group decisions are where tennis admin goes to die. Someone asks a question, three people answer, the rest forget, and a week later nobody can remember what was decided or who said what. A poll with live results fixes that in one move: everyone votes, the answer is plain, and there is a record. Less chasing, fewer "wait, what did we decide?" messages, more time on court.
