For members
Your club invited you.
Here is what is waiting.
You have nothing to pay and nothing to install. You do need a NOR account — here is why, and what your club will see of you.
What you get out of it
Three things the WhatsApp group does badly
The calendar
"When is the social session again?"
Your week, with the sessions that concern you — your groups', not the whole club's. The hall has an address: it opens in your satnav.
The noticeboard
The announcement you do not miss
The committee's announcements stay readable, pinned when they matter — instead of being pushed up by thirty messages in one evening.
Your ranking
The level you actually have
This is what NOR is for: every confirmed match moves your ranking one notch towards the person across the net, on your federation's own scale.
The question that matters
Why an account, and what the club sees of it
Why an account
Because a ranking is personal: it follows a person, not a licence number, and it follows them if they change club. And because a membership is given — nobody can sign you into a club without your agreement, and there has to be a "you" to give it.
No password to invent: you get a link at your address, you click, you are signed in. The account is free and covers one sport, all its disciplines included.
What the club sees
Your name in the member list, the groups the officers put you in, where your dues stand as they ticked it, and what you write in the threads you write in.
What it does not see: your private conversations — and it can neither log a match on your behalf nor message you privately unless you have accepted a connection. Being in the same club gives nobody any rights over you.
You leave the club in one tap. Your account, your ranking and your history stay yours.
How it goes
Two steps, and never just one
In both directions, membership needs both sides to agree. That is not a formality: an invitation code can be photographed over a shoulder, and knowing it must not be enough to sign someone up.
-
You open the club's link or QR code
A poster in the hall, a message from an officer. If you do not have an account yet, NOR asks for your address and opens one — that is the only moment anything is asked of you.
-
An officer approves
A club is not an open door: you have to be known and paid up. The other way round, if an officer scanned your QR code, you are the one who agrees — and the membership waits until you do.
-
The club opens in the app
The calendar, the noticeboard, the threads, the events, the member list. The Club tab itself is there from day one — even without a club, since that is how you find one.
No invitation yet? Clubs that asked to be listed appear in the directory: you write them a few words, an officer replies. Being listed does not make them open — it is still a request. If yours is not there, its membership link is the shortest way: ask an officer for it.
