Find a clubSkill bands, rotating courts, rally scoring and pool-to-playoff progression are first-class — not workarounds bolted onto a generic bracket tool.
Create divisions by DUPR rating or a 2.5–5.0 skill band, with age groups where you need them. Import a DUPR CSV to bring current ratings into a division and seed from them.
Run Major League Pickleball-style ties with balanced 4, 6, 8 or 10-player rosters, named doubles events, rally scoring and the DreamBreaker decider.
Continuous play across multiple courts: winning pairs move up, losing pairs move down, and standings build over a set number of rounds.
Run round-robin pools, then advance the top teams into a seeded playoff bracket. Pool and playoff scoring can differ, and teams that miss the cut can play a consolation draw.
Assign matches to named courts, order the day, and give players a schedule they can follow on their phone — including their next court and how many matches are ahead.
Enter scores at the court, progress brackets automatically, and project a bracket or scoreboard to a club TV in full-screen display mode.
Formats
Every format below is shipped and configurable per division — you can mix formats across divisions in the same event.
Every team plays every other team in its pool, with configurable points and tiebreakers.
Best for: Club nights and small divisions where everyone wants several games.
Group stage first, then the top teams advance into a seeded knockout bracket.
Best for: Open tournaments and club championships with a group stage.
Straight knockout draw for 4–64 teams, with an optional third-place match.
Best for: One-day events with a large field and limited courts.
Winners and losers brackets with a grand final and reset, for 4, 8, 16 or 32-team fields.
Best for: Events where one loss should not end the day.
Fixed rounds with strength-based pairing and Buchholz / Sonneborn-Berger tiebreakers.
Best for: Large fields that need a fair ranking without a knockout.
Multi-court rotation where winners move up and losers move down across rounds.
Best for: Drop-in sessions and social club play.
Balanced team rosters, named doubles events, rally scoring and Dreambreaker.
Best for: Club-vs-club team events and MLP-style leagues.
Rotating-partner doubles: a seed-based partner draft or manual pairing, then a seeded playoff.
Best for: Social events where players change partners each round.
Season-long rotating-partner play with weekly rounds and cumulative standings.
Best for: Recurring club leagues rather than one-off events.
Dual-match team competition scored line by line, with a team winner at the end.
Best for: Inter-club rivalries and team leagues.
Workflow
You do not need a spreadsheet, a bracket template or a second scoring app. The event, the draw and the live results live in one place.
Pick pickleball, set the dates, venue and courts, then choose online registration or import an existing roster by CSV/Excel.
Add skill, age or DUPR divisions; choose a format and scoring model; set how many teams advance from each pool.
Check players in, assign courts, enter scores at the court, and let brackets, standings and the TV display update themselves.
Rules
Defaults follow standard pickleball; every value is adjustable per division.
The standard side-out target. Rally scoring to 11, 15 or 21 is available for MLP and timed formats.
Set the match length per division. Each game can carry its own target and win-by margin.
Four doubles games to 21, with the Dreambreaker singles tiebreak played only when the tie is level at 2–2.
Cap each round by time or points so a session finishes when you promised. Winners move up a court, losers move down.
Standings sort by wins, then point differential and points scored, so ties resolve the same way every week.
Double elimination is supported for 4, 8, 16 and 32-team fields; other sizes are rejected with a clear message.
