Ratibly

The waitlist that runs itself

Cap the spots, share the link, and stop managing the queue by hand. When someone drops out, the next player is in — automatically.

The problem

Turning people away one week, begging the next

Every organizer knows both weeks: too many players and you're picking who sits out, too few and you're chasing the group chat at 5pm. A first-come-first-served waitlist fixes both.

  • Spots fill in signup order — no favoritism, no drama
  • Latecomers land on the waitlist instead of a maybe pile
  • Everyone can see their position, so nobody has to ask
How it works

Drop out at 5pm, replaced by 5:01

The moment a confirmed player cancels, Ratibly promotes the first eligible person on the waitlist — checking they don't have a time conflict first.

  • Instant automatic promotion, in strict signup order
  • Time-conflict checks before promoting anyone
  • Separate limits for the session and the waitlist itself
Beyond the queue

Control who gets in

Open the session to everyone, require approval, or make it invite-only. You can even gate spots by ranking level to keep the game competitive.

  • Open, approval-based or invite-only sessions
  • Ranking-level gates with their own waitlist
  • Custom join forms when you need more than a name
