I think this is a great solution to the problem of meeting people post college with similiar interests. I signed up to be notified of bar games and board games. I suck at tennis and running but I would be interested in those too.
OP here. Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback. That is the goal of the site, as a way to meet new people doing stuff that you enjoy doing.
And especially thanks for putting your information on the interest list: http://startupsportsclub.com/interest -- that will help me connect the dots and find groups of people with similar interests
Sorry about that, it is a very early product and sadly this bug slipped through. This was a particularly classic one where I test on sqlite and the production environment is postgres, and they unfortunately handle some inputs differently.
Anywho, I've fixed it and I appreciate you trying out the site.
I would never think about Meetup for sports/casual activities. All Meetups I attend are "professional" events in my field. Perhaps Meetup has an untapped market?
This is a great idea. At my last company a lot of us played basketball at lunch a couple times a week but since moving to SF I haven't found anything like that yet, and after work I'd rather lift weights. I'd be very interested in some bball games during the work week at lunchtime.
Startup people generally enjoy trying new things, networking with one another and live in dense clusters. If you aren't in the startup community that is fine also, there is no actual requirement.
Possible idea: Display all user-added activities by popularity so that someone thinking about hosting an event can get an idea of whether there is already an interested "waiting list"?
Sweet! I mocked up a pretty similar idea during a General Assembly class a couple months ago. Glad somebody with more motivation than me actually implemented this! http://jchendy.com/imdownfor/

Will tell my friends about it too, particularly those in the city :)
Also, check out Moment.JS and get a better date input mechanism.

It just doesn't evoke this sort of usage anymore.
Why "startup" sports club?

My statement was a bit facetious in that of all of the above in that about page answer; there is nothing especially specific to "startup" people.
It seems another example of the Startup People are different from normal people" that gets mentioned a lot on HN.
Is this a common thing or are the authors trolling?
