Vallio starts with you, not the venue. Keep score on any court, find somewhere to play, run a league from your phone, and earn a rating from matches you actually played. Playing is free, forever. ON THE COURT • Keep score in singles or doubles. Serve, side-out and faults handled for you • Score from your wrist — Apple Watch and Wear OS, in sync with the phone • Substitutions and timeouts, tracked rather than improvised • Settle first serve with the in-app coin toss • Closing Shot — a branded card of how the match ended, over your own photo COURTS AND VENUES • Every venue near you, on a map or a list • Place your paddle to join the queue for a court, and get told when you're up • The people waiting vote on whether the next match is singles or doubles • Surface, lighting, nets, parking, reviews and community photos • Works at any venue, whatever software they already use — or none at all EVENTS AND LEAGUES • Round robin, pool play into a bracket, king of the court, ladders • An event runs and finishes. A league plays out over a season with standings • Registration, waitlists and join codes • Announcements and a calendar, so a season stops living in a group chat • Anyone can host — one wizard builds it, you run it from the court PADDLERANK Your rating moves after every match with a real opponent. Points come from what you scored plus a win bonus, multiplied by where you played and who you beat. Not self-reported, and not ELO — it rewards showing up and playing well, not just who you happened to face. COMMUNITY Posts with multiple photos, reposts, comments and hashtags. Groups for your regular crew, with chat and a roster. Follow players, venues, events and leagues. Private profiles, follow requests, blocking and reporting. OVER 100 ACHIEVEMENTS Badges from your first match to the ones almost nobody earns, plus challenges that refresh and long-run milestones. All free, all worth PaddleRank. CHAMPION Playing is free. Champion is the reading of it — the numbers behind your game. • Every stat on your Dashboard, and Trends showing which way you're moving • All six PaddleRank boards: Regular and Ranked, across Overall, Singles and Doubles • Your full match archive, back to your first game (free keeps 14 days) • Rivals in depth — the story behind the head-to-head record • Big Board — turn a phone or tablet sideways for a court-side scoreboard readable from the far baseline • Host bigger: 8 teams on 2 courts, three events and three leagues at once Champion is $14.99/month or $89.99/year, and a lifetime option is available. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your account settings. Any unused portion of a free period is forfeited when you subscribe.
