What's New in Serious Pickleball
1.1.0
August 25, 2026
APPLE WATCH APP • Your next match on your wrist — playing now, called to report, or up next with a live countdown and the court to head to. • Enter scores, check in with one tap, and follow round robin standings while they're still being played. • After your last match, see where you finished, with medal colors once the results are final. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN • Your tournament day now runs itself. Your next match appears as it draws near, counts down, names your court as soon as one is known, follows the score, and calls you when it's your turn — with the app closed and your phone in your pocket. CHECK-IN • Check in from the app, your watch, the Lock Screen, the home screen widget, or Siri. Arriving at the venue checks you in automatically, and a reminder arrives about two hours before your first match. ALSO NEW • Your next court is named in advance, and you're called while the match ahead is still finishing — so you're courtside and ready the moment it's free. • Tapping a notification opens exactly what it's about. • For tournament directors: refunds and accounting reports, player substitutions, court queue mode, King of the Hill, and 3v3 team events.
