Create pickleball schedules for either a group of players or teams. Round robin schedules for a group of players will ensure that players will rotate after each round and will play with every other player. If working with teams, then the partners will stick together for the entire schedule. Every team will be guaranteed to play every other team at least once. A mixed doubles mode is also available. This schedule for this mode ensures that all male players will be paired with every female player an equal number of times. A King of the Court option is also available for a group of players. This requires at least eight players so there are two courts. Winning teams will move up and losing teams will move down. In all cases the teams will split. This format works best with either four, eight, twelve or sixteen players. However, the schedule will accommodate an odd number of players and will include byes. Two special brackets are also available if you have eight teams. One is a Compass bracket which will ensure that all teams play exactly three matches. The other is an enhanced double elimination bracket which guarantees all teams at least four matches. The required number of courts and rounds will be determined based on the number of players/teams entered. Player and Team names can be saved and loaded at a later date. Player and Team names can also be shuffled to mix up the pairings, court assignments and order of play. Wins and Losses can be recorded, and final standings will be calculated. Detailed round by round results are available for every player/team.
