My network is where the people you play with live. The fuller it is, the easier it gets to put a match together: when you record a friendly, names from your network come up first.

​
How a connection starts

By playing

When a match result is validated, everyone who played — partner and opponents — becomes a connection automatically, no request needed.

By asking

A request the other person accepts. An accepted match invite counts as an accepted request.
A connection request expires after 30 days without an answer. If you withdraw one, you have to wait 60 days before asking the same person again.

​
Who you play with most

Still under My network, above the suggestions, the Most frequent list comes out of your own match history: the people who turned up with you the most, up to eight. Each row carries the person, their sports, how many matches you have together, and an Invite button that opens an invite addressed to them. Connections who have gone 90 days or more without playing you do not show here: they become Suggestion cards in the Invites section of My Matches, whenever you have no invite to show.
The list counts only matches with a result, from the last two years. A walkover does not count. If you have never played anyone, you do not see the list — it simply does not show.
On PRO, each row also shows your record against that person — separating matches played together from matches played against — a note about shared time slots when your availability and theirs overlap, and the most-frequent list can be re-sorted by who wins or loses the most.

​
How to find people

  • By searching — by name or username
  • Through suggestions — people who play your sport, live in your city, share connections with you, or have similar availability
  • From your contacts — Matchely checks which of your contacts already use the app
Contact import exists only in the phone app, not in the browser. Phone numbers are sent scrambled, and it is only used to find who is already on Matchely.

​
Suggestions come in sections

Under My network, suggested people arrive grouped by the strongest reason you might know each other — Played with people you played with, From the same competition, Connections you may know, Near you, New here and Suggested for you. Each card states its own reason, and an empty section does not show. A full section offers See all, which opens the whole list for that reason.
Near you is geography — only people in your city. Someone who plays your sport or is at a similar level but lives far away shows under Suggested for you.
On each card, Dismiss suggestion takes that person out of your suggestions for 30 days. The list also refreshes itself on each visit, so you do not keep seeing the same faces.

​
Another player’s profile

Opening someone shows their level per sport, their statistics, and their match history — including your head-to-head record, if you have played each other. Under the name you see how many connections the person has, how many you have in common, and how many times you’ve played each other or together — only matches with a validated result count. They’re just numbers: each person’s connection list stays visible only to them.
Your head-to-head with someone is always free. Seeing the head-to-head between two other players is a PRO feature.

​
Blocking someone

On another player’s profile, under More options, there is Block. Someone you block can no longer find you in search by name, suggest you a time, invite you to a match or send you a direct message — and you cannot reach them either. You stop being connections, the direct conversation between you is closed, and open invites from either of you to the other are dropped.
They are not notified. No notice goes out, and the closed doors answer the way they answer for anyone who cannot get through — they do not learn of the block from an error message.
Group conversations are untouched: an invite or a competition you are both in carries on for the other people in it. The list lives under Menu → My account → Privacy and data → Blocked players, with Unblock on each person.
Unblocking restores nothing. The connection that was dropped does not come back, nor does the conversation — both are rebuilt the normal way, if you want them.
