About

Matchy Matchup

Features
Read full description

Here is how it works... Create a group by adding the names of all the people who come to your session. Each week, add players when they arrive and remove them when they leave. All it takes is a double-tap. Choose which formats are allowed: Singles, Doubles, Three-way or a mixture. Draw a new round whenever it is needed. Clear all previous matches to start a new session. If you enter match results or if you give your players a rating, Matchy will try and match players of a similar standard. Matchy will avoid repeating similar matchups. Especially in "Social" mode. In "Round Robin" mode, matchy will cycle through all possible matchups. Entering results and drawing a new round should take less than a minute, so organisers should be able to take part in the sessions they are running. When playing doubles, players can select a "preferred partner". This app was created for and tested on a weekly pickleball group and a monthly tennis tournament.
