The Kitchen runs a weekly rec pickleball group: who's playing, which court you're on, every score, and the standings. Start a group and you're its admin. Invite players with a code or a link sent by text, and they join from the app. One account can be in more than one group. TWO FORMATS - Ladder: players hold chairs, courts are dealt from the top down, the top two on each court move up and the bottom two move down, and the ladder is rewritten after each session - Round-robin: courts are mixed every round so you play with as many people as possible, and the day's order comes from your record EACH WEEK - Tap "can play" or "can't" for the weeks ahead - The admin sets the roster and locks it, or it locks on schedule - Courts are dealt automatically when the roster locks, with five-player courts when the count is odd - Can't make it after all? Say so and your admin sees it SCORES - Anyone on the court enters scores as you play - Or take a photo of the paper scoresheet: AI reads it into draft scores you check before saving - Standings update live, and the next round's courts post themselves STATS - Win percentage, point differential and match history for every player - The group's ladder or win % board, current after every session THE GROUP - Group chat with photos, GIFs, reactions and @mentions - Subscribe to your group's sessions in your calendar - Track who owes for court fees - Admins manage members, co-admins, courts, rounds, the schedule and the invite code - Report a message or a member, or block a user Sign in with your phone number.
