If you're hosting a game, we recommend that you add it to the PickupUltimate Website Many of these pick-ups have WhatsApp groups to confirm numbers to ensure there is a game. Previously, these links were shared on this page for joining groups, however due to unsolicited spamming we had to remove the links.
