SpeedUp+ is the complete platform for organized pickleball -- run leagues, host tournaments, track your stats, and connect with your community. LEAGUES & GAME DAYS Join or create singles and doubles leagues with built-in game day management. Check in when courts open, get automatically assigned to skill-balanced matchups, and submit scores right from the app. Everything from court assignments to standings updates happens in real time. TOURNAMENTS & PLAYOFFS Host tournaments with full bracket support -- single elimination, double elimination, or round robin group stages into knockout rounds. Configure best-of-3 series for semifinals and finals, track seedings and byes, and let the bracket advance automatically as results come in. Open play tournaments let everyone compete freely with cumulative standings. DOUBLES PLAY Multiple partner pairing options keep doubles fresh: let admins assign teams, auto-balance by skill, let players choose, randomize, or rotate partners each round. On-deck rotation and court overflow management keep game days running smoothly no matter how many players show up. MATCH TRACKING & STATS Every match is recorded with dual score confirmation from both sides. View your complete match history, win/loss record, win percentage, and playoff achievements. Track custom matches outside of leagues and invite any player to a recorded game. SKILL RATINGS & RANKINGS Separate singles and doubles ratings track your progression through six tiers from Bronze to Elite. Visualize your rating over time with progression charts, see where you rank on global leaderboards, and check your percentile standing. DUPR INTEGRATION Link your DUPR account to see both ratings side by side. Confirmed matches can be uploaded directly to DUPR with player consent -- no manual entry needed. CHAT & COMMUNITY Message players directly, create group chats, or use auto-generated league chats to coordinate with your group. Create player groups to organize your regular crew and keep in touch between game days. COACHING TOOLS Coaches can manage a student roster, write session notes organized by player and date, and track development over time -- all within the app. VIDEO ANALYSIS Upload match footage for AI-powered breakdowns including shot-by-shot analysis, rally tracking, tactical summaries, and personalized improvement suggestions. NOTIFICATIONS Get email and SMS alerts when check-in opens, game days start, or you have a pending match. In-app announcements keep you informed about league news and updates. LEAGUE MANAGEMENT Organizers get a full admin panel: create leagues with custom rules and scoring formats, manage brackets, resolve score disputes, approve new accounts, send announcements, and delegate to moderators. Configure everything from court overflow handling to DUPR upload requirements. Whether you play casually once a week or compete in multiple leagues, SpeedUp+ keeps your pickleball organized.

RED RaceControl turns your phone into a real-time GPS tracker for outdoor sport events. IMPORTANT — YOU NEED A REGISTRATION FROM YOUR ORGANIZER RED RaceControl is not a standalone consumer GPS app. It only works if you are registered for an event with an organizer who uses RED RaceControl — you receive a personal registration link or QR code from them.
