Paddle Stack App vs PaddleScramble

Know how busy your favorite pickleball courts are before you leave the house. Paddle Stack uses automatic geofencing to track court occupancy in real-time — no check-ins, no buttons, no hassle. Just show up and play. The app handles the rest. WHAT YOU'LL SEE • Active Players — how many players are at the courts right now • Open Courts — how many courts are available to play • Paddles Stacked — how many players are waiting for a court HOW IT WORKS Grant location access. That's it. Paddle Stack automatically detects when you arrive and leave using your phone's geofencing — even when the app is in the background or fully closed. Player counts update in real-time for everyone using the app, so the whole community stays informed. NO MANUAL CHECK-INS Forget tapping buttons or opening the app when you pull into the parking lot. Paddle Stack works silently in the background, updating your status automatically the moment you enter or exit the court area. BUILT FOR PICKLEBALL PLAYERS Paddle Stack speaks your language. "Paddles Stacked" is the number of players waiting for a court — a term every pickler already knows. The dashboard is clean, bold, and readable at a glance so you can check conditions without slowing your pace. YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS Location data is used only to detect your proximity to the court. It is never stored, tracked, or shared with anyone. You can review and change location permissions in iOS Settings at any time. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 16 or later • "Always Allow" location permission for automatic tracking • Active internet connection for real-time data

Twelve people turn up. Somebody has to work out who plays who, on which court, and who sits this one out. Then do it again every twenty minutes, fairly, while everyone waits. PaddleScramble does that in seconds. Say how many are playing and how many courts you have. Tap Start. The whole session appears: every round, every partner, every court, and who sits out — balanced so people play with everyone and nobody sits twice in a row. NO NAMES NEEDED Everyone gets a number, so you can read the schedule straight out across a noisy court: "Court 1, three and seven, against one and nine." It works when you don't know everybody, which at a drop-in is most of the time. Put names in if you want them — any of them, at any point, or none at all. Save it as a PDF, print it for the wall, or just hold up your phone. SCORING IS OPTIONAL Keep score and the standings look after themselves. Don't, and the app stays a schedule and nothing else. Most sessions only ever need the schedule. WHEN YOU WANT MORE There is a fuller setup behind the second button, for people running something regular: • Crazy Eights — a new partner every round, so everyone plays with everyone. 4 to 24 players. • Open Play Scramble — for drop-in sessions. Add walk-ins, put someone on a break, or drop a leaver between rounds, and the next round is drawn from whoever is actually on the floor. • Fixed Partner — pick your partner and keep them the whole way. • Team Scramble — two teams throughout, scored as two sets; if they split them, a Final Set decides it. • Pods — split a large group into 2 to 4 pods on their own courts, then a cross-pod playoff. END IT PROPERLY Finish with semifinals and a final. The bracket is drawn on screen and fills in as it is played, with consolation games so nobody sits out the finish and a game for third. WHEN IT DOESN'T GO TO PLAN • Someone leaves early — cover their remaining games in one tap • Someone turns up late — add them and they play the next round • A court frees up, or you lose one — in Open Play, add, remove or renumber courts mid-session • Change the play-to, a misspelled name, or how ties break, mid-session. Games already played keep the rules they were played under. SHARE IT Put the live scores on a web page your group can follow from their phones, or print the whole schedule for the wall.
