## What is PickRef?

PickRef is the scoring app for referees at the Picklebal 2026 (Da Nang, Aug 30 – Sep 6, 2026) and pickleball tournaments everywhere.

KEY FEATURES
• Live scoring: supports both Rally and Side-out rules, best-of-3/5, and custom game points (7/11/15/21).
• Proper pre-match flow: confirm player attendance, pick the server, and coin toss for side selection.
• Timeouts, score undo, and a flip-screen mode for referees seated on either side.
• Offline practice mode: sharpen your scoring anytime — no network and no tournament required.
• Schedule & assignments: view assigned matches, accept or decline duty invitations.
• QR check-in and e-signature result confirmation.
• Real-time updates: scores sync instantly to organizers and fans.
• Fast sign-in with Google or Apple.

BUILT FOR REAL COURTS
• Large, high-contrast buttons for accurate taps mid-match.
• Reliable on weak networks in crowded venues (offline-first).
• Dark interface that stays readable in varied lighting.

For referees, officiating crews, and organizers of professional and grassroots pickleball tournaments alike.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-09

• Swap pair: referees can now swap the two players of a doubles pair (server / receiver) — for a mis-recorded starting server at the toss, or when a team re-designates it between games.
• More stable match list ordering: matches at the same time no longer shuffle, and unscheduled / unassigned-court matches sort last.
• Minor fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-03

• Fixed the camera not opening when scanning a QR code on some iOS devices.
• Scoring screen improvements: a cleaner top bar (match format label, view-flip button, always-visible Replay/Undo), clearer team colors (blue/orange), and a smoother point-in-play & side-out flow.
• Tidier on-court labels and layout refinements.
• Stability improvements.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-01
