PicklePairings runs pickleball round robins, Americanos, Swiss events and knockout / double-elimination brackets. It is free, it needs no account, and it keeps your tournament on your own device.

Common questions

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no login and no password. Open the app and start a tournament.

Does it work without internet?

Yes — that is the point. Gym and club Wi-Fi is unreliable, so the app stores everything on the device and keeps working with no connection at all. You can open it, pair rounds and enter scores fully offline.

Where is my tournament saved? Will I lose it?

It is saved on the device itself, automatically, after every change — the header shows a Saved time stamp. Closing the app or locking the phone will not lose it.

Because it lives on the device rather than on a server, deleting the app also deletes the tournament. Before a big event, tap Export to save a .json backup somewhere safe.

How do I move a tournament to another device?

Tap Export on the first device to get a .json file, send it to yourself, then tap Import on the second device and pick that file. Scores, teams and rounds all come across.

I entered a score wrong.

Just type over it — standings recalculate immediately. To undo a bigger mistake, use the Undo button in the header (or Ctrl/Cmd + Z on a keyboard).

Which format should I pick?

• Round robin — fixed doubles teams, everyone plays everyone. Best for a club session with a set group.
• Americano — partners rotate every round and scoring is per player, not per team. Best for mixed-ability social play.
• Swiss — fixed teams, and each round pairs teams on similar records without repeating a matchup. Best when you have too many teams for a full round robin.
• Knockout — single elimination, lose once and you're out.
• Double elimination — a winners' and a losers' bracket, so a team has to lose twice to be out. Includes the grand final and a bracket reset.

Can I print the pairings?

Yes. Every round has a Print sheet button, and standings have their own Print button — handy for taping a round to the wall by the courts. Share sends the same thing as text to a group chat.

Someone had to leave mid-tournament.

Open the teams or players list and tap Withdraw next to them. They are left out of any rounds generated after that. Rounds already on screen are not rewritten, so you may need to mark an unplayed match yourself.

Reporting a bug or asking for a feature

Email support@picklepairings.com. Requests that come up repeatedly get built — this app exists because running a club round robin on a paper grid is miserable.

Privacy

Your tournament is saved on your own device. It only reaches our server if you create a live standings link. Our anonymous usage analytics, and what our usability tool can see on screen, are described in full in the privacy policy.
