Why split the categories?

Within the same region, an organizer trying to grow participation and a player trying to find a group have different needs. Adding a visiting-player category captures short-window demand from work trips and travel. Splitting intent reduces noisy promotion, makes real matching demand clearer, and prepares the site for future regional newsletters, clinics, and ladders.

Travel and visiting-player matching

The visiting-player flow increases the utility of a local directory. Local communities can keep serving regular players while also capturing short-window demand from business trips and travel. Organizers get new participants, and visitors get a safer way to find pickleball connections in an unfamiliar city.
