Pickleball Dink+ is the easiest way to organize pickleball games with your group. Create events, manage signups, run round robin tournaments, track scores, and see who's climbing the leaderboard — all in one app. Organize Events in Seconds Create round robin events or simple "who's attending" gatherings. Set the date, time, location, and player slots. Players join with a tap, and a waitlist kicks in automatically when spots fill up. Need to change something? Update event details on the fly and everyone stays in sync. Smart Matchmaking Stop wasting time figuring out who plays who. Dink+ generates balanced round robin schedules automatically. The matchmaking algorithm ensures fair court assignments, minimizes repeat opponents and teammates, and supports both mixed-gender and open formats. Just set the number of rounds and courts — the app handles the rest. Live Scoring & Match Tracking Enter scores right from the court. Players can submit their own scores or organizers can manage everything. Watch results update in real time as games are completed. Every match is recorded so you can look back at your history anytime. Group Leaderboard See how everyone stacks up. Dink+ tracks wins, losses, and point differentials to generate group leaderboards. Filter by time period or gender. It's friendly competition that keeps everyone coming back. Groups & Chat Create groups for your regular crew, your local rec center, or your league. Invite members, assign co-organizers, and keep the conversation going with built-in group chat. Real-time messaging means you're always connected with your players. Quick Robin Need to run a pickup session on the spot? Quick Robin lets you set up and manage a round robin tournament instantly — no event creation needed. Add players, generate rounds, and score games right from your phone. Player Profiles & Stats Every player gets a profile with their match history, win/loss record, and head-to-head stats against other players. See your commitment score, track your progress, and browse other players' profiles. RSVP Events Not every gathering needs a tournament. Use "Who's Attending" events for open play sessions, social meetups, or any time you just need a headcount. Players can RSVP yes, no, or maybe. Built for Mobile Dink+ is designed for how pickleball actually works — on the court, on your phone. Fast, responsive, and built to be used between games. Push notifications keep you updated on new events, chat messages, score results, and waitlist promotions.
