PlanMyPickle - Pickleball
Tournaments, brackets, scoring
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
PlanMyPickle is the all-in-one app for running pickleball tournaments — built for organizers and the players who show up to compete. Set up an event, generate the draw, and run live scoring, brackets, and standings from your phone.
FOR ORGANIZERS
• Create a pickleball tournament in minutes — singles or doubles, by rating or division.
• Every format: round robin, single elimination, double elimination, or pools → playoff — with consolation back-draws, compass draw, and best-of-3.
• Auto-build a fair schedule across your courts, with rest between matches and no double-booking across divisions.
• Score matches from your phone courtside — brackets and standings update live.
• Fast QR check-in: players show a pass, you scan it at the desk.
• Collect entry fees online; track finances per event.
• Run DUPR-sanctioned events and submit results straight to DUPR ratings.
• A full-screen TV scoreboard shows the live leaderboard, every court, and what's next — perfect for the venue projector.
• Major-League-style team events (MLP) with a DreamBreaker decider.
• Season-long leagues: round robin, ladder, and team play with standings over time.
FOR PLAYERS

1.0.26 Sep 30
THE PICKLEBREAKER
A 2-2 team tie is now settled by a random-draw decider — singles, mixed,
men's or women's — revealed on the big screen as Big Dill calls it. The
decider starts itself the moment a court is free.
PODIUM CEREMONIES
Finish a division and announce the podium on the TV: bronze, silver and
gold called one at a time, each medal holding until the next. Team events
announce the club table across every division.
THE GAME TAB, REBUILT
Playable games come first, with "Playing now" and "Ready to start" cards
above the rounds. Every round on one scroll instead of a pager, a TIME
column that follows the courts, and a speaker on each card so you can call
a court without leaving the list.
TEAM EVENTS
Substitute a squad member or forfeit a tie from the app. Fixed mixed
partners for team formats. Standings now rank each rating band on its own
instead of one flat table, and a tie decided by the PickleBreaker reads
2-2, not 3-2.
LEAGUES
Browse league history by date and division. A night that ran two groups
keeps two separate leaderboards, and those groups stay readable all week
instead of disappearing at midnight.
FOR THE STREAM
The court scorer and the broadcast overlay now show which side is serving.
NEW TO ORGANIZING?
An in-app checklist walks you through your first round robin, with
illustrated guides under Help & FAQ.
ALSO
Auto-score games for testing, with an option to leave the last few unplayed.
Settings on the You tab are grouped into sections with a search box. Create
and edit forms ask one question at a time. Reset check-ins now asks first.
Fixes: sheets that could not be scrolled or closed on iPhone, the poster
offer's Skip button, the upload button overlapping Send in coaching chat,
and Remove from DUPR being unreachable from the schedule list.
1.0.25 Sep 7
What's new in 1.0.24
• Tap an event link or scan a court QR to jump straight into the app
• New Standings tab: final placings and full division rankings, with search
• Live scores now let you pick a division to follow and see final scores when a draw wraps
• Speed and reliability improvements throughout
Thanks for playing with PlanMyPickle!
1.0.24 Aug 26
THE STANDINGS MAKE SENSE AGAIN
Win% is back on every leaderboard, including "All divisions" — where the column
used to disappear. Leagues rank on win rate, so without it an 8-5 sitting below
a 5-2 looked like the sort was broken. It wasn't; the number explaining it was
just missing. The heading above the table now names the right tiebreaker too.
CLUB STANDINGS ARE A REAL TABLE
Your club's all-time board used to show a win-loss record and little else. It's
now the same table as an event leaderboard — rank, photo, record, Win%, points,
point differential, and how many club events each player has turned up to.
ONE NUMBER ON YOUR CARD, NOT TWO
Your card showed a lifetime games count next to a win rate from your last 12
games, so the two could disagree and nothing said why. The win rate is now your
lifetime record over exactly those games. Recent form is still there — that's
what the SWING chart underneath it is for.
A CLUB PAGE WORTH VISITING
Post to your club's feed, not just read it. Announcements carry your club's
name. One Schedule holds every date, with a month calendar you can slide
through. Members open into profiles. Your club's colour runs through the roster,
the calendar and the TV scoreboard.
COACHES, ON THE CLUB'S OWN PAGE
Your coaching staff appears on your club page, and club managers can add or
remove coaches from the roster without leaving Manage.
INVITE EVERYONE AT ONCE
Invite people by app, email or text — many at a time, not one by one. Someone
invited by email or phone can join a private club before they've even made an
account. Join requests say which division they're for, and tapping the
notification opens the queue rather than the event.
A PAGE FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T MEMBERS YET
Someone opening your club's link now lands on one invitation instead of five
tabs of things they can't use.
POSTERS
Poster downloads go through the normal share sheet on a phone, so they land in
Photos or wherever you send them. You can add a QR code, or leave it off.
ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
The last card in a list is no longer hidden behind the buttons at the bottom of
a phone. The same event stops appearing twice on your home feed. Printed score
sheets say which round they're for. Your DUPR rating is drawn the way DUPR
draws it, and an empty DUPR import now says why it found nothing instead of
failing quietly.
1.0.23 Aug 23
THE TIMER ALWAYS SOUNDS
Your screen now stays awake during a rotation session and on the scoreboard.
Before, the phone could go to sleep mid-round and the buzzer never rang — you'd
look down at a dark screen with the round already over.
A HOME FOR CLUB OWNERS
Turn on Club manager in You and the Play and Coach tabs become one Manage tab:
your club, its members, dues, coaches and schedule in one place. The setting
follows your account, so it's there when you sign in on another device.
YOUR CLUB, IN YOUR COLOURS
Pick your club's colour and it carries across your club's pages. Members see
your club rather than ours.
A CLUB FEED
Results, announcements and new leagues from every event your club runs, on one
page — so members can see the club is alive without hunting through events.
HOME OPENS ON SOMETHING
A new account used to open on an empty feed. Now it shows what's on near you
straight away, as posters rather than a list, ordered by what's happening
soonest. Anything without a date sits at the end.
WEAR YOUR CLUB ON YOUR CARD
If you belong to a club, you can add its logo behind your player ID card.
Entirely optional — your card stays yours.
FEWER SURPRISES ON EVENT DAY
A partner added by name alone was never actually registered: no roster spot, no
check-in, nothing to scan on the day. The roster now says so plainly, and adding
a partner registers them properly.
Also in this release: bulk-add members from a spreadsheet, download an
organization report, and see the other clubs in your organization.
1.0.22 Aug 22
AI Poster Studio (beta)
Design a shareable poster for your event in seconds. Pick from a range
of styles or just describe the look you want, add a title, date and
venue, and drop in your club logo and sponsor logos — tag each one so
they land in the right place. Attach the finished poster to an event,
or download it and post it anywhere. Everything you make is kept for
30 days.
Pick how your playoffs finish
Choose a Round of 16, quarterfinals or semifinals when you create an
event — or change it later — and the bracket builds itself as soon as
pool play wraps. Works with any format, not just pool-to-playoff.
Compass draws
Full podium and a bronze finish, including small three-team draws.
Editing an event got easier
Change the format after you've created it, and search your settings by
name instead of hunting for them.
On the court
An ON DECK badge now marks the next game queued on each court, so
players know when they're up.
For clubs
Approve several join requests at once instead of one at a time.
Fixes
• Fixed the random sign-outs some players were hitting
• Playoff games no longer collide with the pool schedule
• Games still showing TBD can no longer be scored by mistake
• Sharper event info, and a single player count that always agrees
1.0.21 Aug 20
Running a rotation ladder just got a lot easier.
• The round timer rings a real cowbell, so nobody misses the buzzer
• Put the board on a TV: courts, the clock, who's resting — and it can call the courts out loud each round
• Decide how the night ends: after a set number of rounds, or at a set time
• Enter a whole court's score at once instead of one player at a time
• Players sitting out are marked, so a score can't land on someone who didn't play
• Finished sessions now have their own History tab
Video is faster and easier to share:
• 4K clips are resized automatically before uploading — far smaller, far quicker
• Clips show a preview image instead of a grey icon
• Watch full screen without leaving the app
• See real progress while a video uploads
• Send any clip to your coach for feedback, from the feed, the gallery or League Videos
Also in this update: photos and videos now appear in your home feed, the Play tab opens your player view, and organizers can remove photos and videos from the gallery.
1.0.19 Aug 15
Leagues & sessions
• Completed sessions now move to History automatically — the Game tab only
shows what's still in play.
• Games that were scheduled but never played are marked "Not played"
instead of sitting there as "Scheduled".
• Session RSVP: players tap Going / Maybe / Out, and organizers can tap the
count to see exactly who's coming.

Feed & announcements
• The feed is now private to an event's registered players.
• Posts show who wrote them, with their photo.
• Organizers can mark a post as an official Announcement.
• Everyone in the event gets notified of new posts, and tapping the
notification takes you straight there.
Coaching & coach-led leagues
• Turn a league coach-led right from Create or Edit League.
• Coaches can open a player's coaching thread from the roster.
• Substitutes are clearly labeled and no longer carry into the next session.
• Share a video with more than one coach at once.
Organizing
• Your Organize tab now shows only the leagues you actually run.
• Court scoring can be protected with a passcode for volunteer scorers.
• League signups are free by default, with optional dues for Premium.
