POINTCAST AREAS · 25-MILE PARTICIPATION LAYER

Four local rooms that can become real on a Saturday.

The 100-mile lens is still right for broadcast. These are tighter: paddles, events, courses, and league tables need repeat contact, court handoffs, and people who can actually show up.

RADIUS DECISION

Start at 25, keep 100 for broadcast.

Start with the 25-mile Beacon radius for anything that needs people to meet, trade, play, teach, or bring something physical. Keep the 100-mile Local lens for broadcast, stations, and broader Southern California context.

first operating pass

  1. Open the four pages as public seed surfaces.
  2. Use localStorage signups until the PointCast identity layer is ready.
  3. Collect the first 10 paddle profiles before adding a backend.
  4. Run First Tide as the first UES session and cross-list it on Meetups.
  5. Let Honey League Season Zero score only helpful acts, not money or status.
