pick-l takes the guesswork out of running a pickleball session. Enter how many players you have, how many courts, and how long each round should run — it generates fair, varied matchups every round and times them for you. FAIR MATCHUPS, AUTOMATICALLY No two players partner together twice, and no two players face each other twice — until every possible combination has been used, at which point the rotation starts a fresh cycle. Players sitting out (when there aren't enough courts for everyone) rotate evenly so nobody sits more than their fair share. SINGLES OR DOUBLES Switch between 1v1 and 2v2 matchups depending on the day — the same fairness rules apply to both. BUILT-IN COURT TIMER Start, stop, and skip rounds with a big, easy-to-read timer. An optional bell rings one minute before time's up, and a buzzer signals when a round ends — with the next round's matchups already generated and ready to go. CHOOSE YOUR SOUNDS Pick from several chime and buzzer sounds for round start and round end, with an instant preview so you know exactly what you're choosing. NO ACCOUNTS. NO ADS. NO DATA COLLECTED. pick-l works entirely offline — there's no login, no network connection, no tracking, and nothing about your session ever leaves your device. Your last-used settings are remembered locally so you don't have to re-enter them every time. Whether you're organizing a weekly rec league, a club night, or a backyard tournament, pick-l keeps every round fair and on schedule.
