What the courts are telling us
The LA desk sees clubs, pop-ups, public courts, and social events sharing the same players. That is why a club leaderboard should show format: warehouse, rooftop, public park, country-club, or community program.
Why this shift matters for players and organizers
No one format wins the city. The useful question is whether a player can find a welcoming next game.
Practical takeaways from the field desk
• 3 / LA format network
• Place matters as much as amenities
• Access and schedule remain the deciding fields
