After years of paper and pencil recording of weekly round robin tournament play… we discovered the Dink! app. We love it! It automates the admin process from beginning to end. It not only saves time but also gives our 50+ players new functionality to handle odd number of players.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-20

This update fixes an important bug and makes some minor UI updates.

• Fixed: editing an event's details (like its title) could reset the event's advanced settings such as Max Rounds and Max Players. Your scores were never affected, and settings now stay exactly as you set them.
• Fixed: some events incorrectly showed "Upgrade Required" even on the latest version.
• Other misc. bug fixes and improvements.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-17

King of the Court, Player Stats, and a new Free plan!

Dink now has a free tier, so anyone can play without a subscription.

Premium unlocks:
• Create and manage groups and events
• Create QuickPlays
• View other players' stats and the Group Stats leaderboard

New ways to subscribe — Premium was annual-only. Now choose the plan that fits: Monthly, Annual, or Lifetime — buy it once and own it forever.

NEW

• King of the Court — A brand-new session-based format where winners move up and losers move down. Court movement arrows show who's climbing, a head-to-head indicator flags tiebreaker-decided placements, and the final standings podium crowns your champion. Available for events and QuickPlay.
• Singles Round Robin — A new format for singles play.
• Your Player Stats & Profile — See your win/loss record, your top partner, and your toughest nemesis. Tap a recent match to jump straight to that event.
• DUPR Export — Export match results in DUPR club format, either a whole event or a single game right from the match card. Add your DUPR ID in your profile.
• Smarter Substitutions — Sub a player in mid-event with fair stat attribution across every format. Subs inherit the outgoing player's court position, and on-court players are filtered out of the picker.
• Auto Assign Partners — Pair everyone who needs a partner with one tap, plus a dedicated "Needs Partner" tab in the picker.
• Replace a single player — On fixed-partner events, swap one player without breaking up the team or losing their court.
• Split Partnership — Break up a team and return both players to the partner pool from the new roster card menu.
• Keep your roster on format changes — Switching an event's format no longer clears the players you've already added.
• Game day stats — Tap a player on the standings tab for a per-player breakdown, and see substitution indicators on the Overall tab.
• Profile fields — Add your DUPR ID, gender, and location.
• Guest quick-add improvements — "Add as new" right in the name dropdown.
• Group Stats tab — Rank every member of your group by Score or Win %, filter by date range, and search for anyone instantly.
• Other players' stats — Open any player's profile to see their full record, partners, and nemeses.

Fixes & polish:

• Clearer sign-in error messages (wrong password, network issues, disabled accounts)
• Fixed a crash when adding a partner to a player who needs one
• Fixed events failing to load in rare cases
• Faster schedule loading
• Better layout on smaller screens and with large text sizes

### 1.2.14 — 2026-07-02

Improved subscription messaging

### 1.2.13 — 2026-06-26
