# How RunIt Works

> RunIt combines pickup-sports discovery, player connection, game coordination, and verified sports identity in one community.

1. **Discover:** Find pickup and amateur sports opportunities by location, sport, time, and competitive fit.
2. **Choose:** Review available game details and community context before deciding to join.
3. **Play:** Join the game and grow your local sports network through real activity.
4. **Build:** Develop a verified RunIt reputation status over time.

RunIt's complete reputation input set, weighting, thresholds, evaluation windows, and safeguards remain proprietary.
