Pickleball Match Maker builds fair, balanced doubles and singles rotations for open play, club nights and social sessions - in one tap. Free, no sign-up, works fully offline. Stop juggling names on a whiteboard. Enter the number of courts and players, and the app generates every round so that nobody sits out too often, partners keep changing, and you don't keep facing the same opponents. WHY ORGANIZERS LOVE IT • Equal rest for everyone - players who sat out last round always play next; no one rests twice in a row • New partner every round - the fairness engine avoids repeating pairs until everyone has played together • Fresh opponents - prioritizes matchups you haven't played yet and avoids putting the same four people on one court again • Rest with different people - the same group doesn't keep sitting out together • 150 candidate lineups are scored per round and the best one is chosen automatically BUILT FOR REAL SESSIONS • Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles modes • 1 to 8 courts, 4 to 40 players • Late arrivals & early leavers: add or remove members mid-session and choose whether to apply from the next round or regenerate the current one • Rename members: replace P1, P2... with real names, or keep the defaults • Fixed pairs: keep couples, friends or coach-student pairs together • Regenerate: don't like a lineup? Reshuffle with the same fairness rules • Round history: swipe back to check who played whom TRACK YOUR GROUP • Session history saved on your device • Per-player stats: matches played, rests, partners and opponents • Fairness overview for the whole session PRIVATE & OFFLINE • No account, no internet required - perfect for outdoor courts • All data stays on your phone Perfect for pickleball club organizers, community event hosts, PE teachers, and anyone who runs a weekly round robin. Also works for tennis, padel and badminton doubles. Set up a session in 10 seconds and get back to playing.
