Mobile app that tracks badminton matches, rankings, and highlights

Recreational badminton has no consumer-grade ELO-style rating that follows a player across clubs. Today's options split badly: minimalist scoreboard apps only count points and forget the result, the official BWF Badminton4U app is pro-tour content, and club court-booking suites (PlayRez, Book&Go, Omnify) sell to facilities, not players. Organizers hand-balance teams and players have no portable, verifiable skill record or highlight reel.
