Automated lunchtime soccer — Stodick Park

The soccer crew

Duane used to email us every Friday morning to round up a lunchtime soccer game. He'd check the weather, ask who's in, and make the call by 11:30.

Then Duane retired. The emails stopped. The beautiful game was in peril.

So we built a bot to do his job. It's not as charming, but it doesn't take vacation days either.

How it works

  1. 6:30 AM on Fridays — you get a weather report and a question: "Are you in?"
  2. Reply with a number — the minimum players you need to show up (e.g., "6" means you'll play with at least 3v3)
  3. 11:30 AM — DuaneBot does the math and sends the final call: game on or game off

Here's what it looks like in your inbox:
