Find and Join an OPL

Updated August 23, 2026

Before you begin

You must be signed in and online. Browse contains ordinary OPLs you have not joined. Regional rating records are not included.

Location access is optional. It can improve nearby ordering, but search works without it.

iPhone, iPad, and Android

Tap OPL’s in the bottom navigation.

Select Browse.

Enter the OPL name, username, linked Court or Club name, city, or state in Search OPL’s....

Tap a result to open OPL Info.

Review the linked venue, About information, status, and join setting.

Select the join action. Depending on the view, it may read Join or Join League.

Return to My OPL’s and tap the OPL to open its chat.

macOS and Windows

Select OPL’s from the side navigation.

Select Browse and search for the OPL.

Select a result to display OPL Info beside the list.

Select Join or Join League.

Open My OPL’s and select the conversation.

Web

Open OPL’s from the Messenger sidebar.

Select Browse and search by OPL or linked venue information.

Use Previous or Next to check more results.

Open the OPL details and select Join.

Return to My OPL’s and open the conversation.

Expected result

Joining adds the ordinary OPL conversation to My OPL’s. It is then excluded from Browse because Browse is for OPLs you have not joined.

Current membership limitation

An OPL may display Anyone, Invite Only, or Request to Join. Current membership controls do not enforce those settings consistently on every list and platform. Do not assume that Request to Join created a pending request, and do not enter a restricted OPL without organizer authorization.

If the OPL is missing

Search by the linked Court or Club name, city, or state.

Clear the search and check additional Browse pages.

Check My OPL’s; a joined ordinary OPL no longer appears in Browse.

Open Archived if you archived the conversation.

A regional rating entry does not appear in Browse or open an ordinary conversation.
