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.
