RallyMatch – Smart Pickleball Session Organizer It's never been easier to run a pickleball session with a group. RallyMatch takes the hassle out of building matchups so you can focus on playing. Just add your players and let RallyMatch handle the rest. It automatically creates balanced matchups — making sure no two players are paired together twice in a row, and no one sits out for back-to-back rounds. Even better, with a large group, if you want to, RallyMatch can make sure players match up against their equals (or close to), so the most advanced players face beginners less often. The result: fair, well-mixed games every time. Built for real sessions: Players show up late. Players leave early. RallyMatch adjusts on the fly — add a new arrival and the app works to get them into rotation quickly, or remove someone who has to leave (and bring them right back if they return). Matching formats available now: • Full Round-Robin • Mixed • Winners Stay Coming soon: More matching formats; tournament and playoff brackets
