A membership association for pool players.

Before anything else

Your rating decides which room you play in, then gets out of the way

Everybody plays the same game. There is no handicap, no spot and no head start — and no captain, operator or local official can change your number or refuse you.

• No handicap.

  Everybody plays the same game. Your rating decides which room you play in and then gets out of the way — it is not a spot, a ball or a head start.

• Nobody local can change your rating.

  The capability does not exist in our software. Not restricted, not logged, not permissioned — not built. And nobody local can refuse you.

• Nobody judges what you meant.

  You will never be asked whether you missed on purpose, and nobody will be asked that about you. There is no defensive-shot mark, no innings count and no unsportsmanlike-conduct clause.

The rating is a résumé, not a handicap

It runs 0 to 100 with one decimal, and it is a win rate: your rating is your chance of taking a single rack off the reference player. 50.0 is that player. 66.7 takes two racks for every one they drop.

You will know why your rating moved, in one screen, with the arithmetic, at the same time every week.

What the number means

What happens

What GPP is

GPP is a two-tier pool association delivered as one app, and the player-to-player tier ships first. It is an association you belong to rather than a tracker you install.

What you actually do

Two players find each other, meet at a poolroom or bar that already exists, check each other by profile photo, play a short race, both submit the result, and it counts toward a rating.

1. Find a player near you.
2. Singles or doubles.
3. Meet at a room that already exists — GPP owns no tables.
4. Check each other by profile photo, in person.
5. Play a short race.
6. Both of you submit the result, and it counts.

How it works, step by step

What it costs you

What it costs

Free for now. GPP is not charging players while it works out whether the thing is any good, and it will say so plainly here on the day that changes.

What you hand over

A phone number, a date of birth, and a photo of yourself. That is the whole list, and the phone number is the only way to sign up — no email signup, no social login. One number, one account. 18 and over.

What we owe you

What GPP will never do to you

• No background checks — and we say so here rather than burying it.
• No face matching, ever. Humans compare photos. Machines never.
• No video, on any screen, in any version.
• No collusion flag, no badge, no asterisk, no "under review" marker on your record.

And when GPP gets it wrong

• Your dispute is decided by somebody with nothing riding on the outcome, and you will see their name.
• You get a reason, especially when you lose.
• We are on a clock. If we miss it you win — automatically, without anyone having to ask.
• You may challenge your decision-maker once, without giving a reason, and it is granted.

Your record is yours

It leaves with you — complete, one tap, and available for at least 24 months after you go. You also keep the right to sue us: no mandatory arbitration, no class-action waiver.
