RallyRound makes fair round robins for pickleball club nights, open play, clinics and groups of friends. Check in who showed up, pick your courts, and it makes the rounds: everyone sits out the same number of times, nobody sits twice in a row, and nobody gets the same partner again while a new one is still possible. WHY ORGANIZERS SWITCH 1. Fair, and it proves it - Sit-outs never differ by more than one, at any point of the night - Nobody sits out two rounds in a row - No repeat partner while a new one is possible - A fairness check on screen shows sit-outs per player and repeat partners, plus who played with and against whom 2. Late arrivals don't break it - Add a late arrival, mark someone leaving or injured with one tap - Rounds already played never change; the next rounds are planned again from what happened - Saves after every tap: close the app mid-round and every score is still there - Works offline at the courts. No account, no sign-in 3. Everyone can see it - Court board: big court colors and names for an iPad on the fence or a TV (AirPlay or HDMI) - Read each new round aloud: "Court 3: Maria and Jason versus Priya and Tom" - QR code: players see the schedule and standings on their own phones, no app needed - Print the schedule as a PDF, share an image, or send the session to a co-organizer EVERY FORMAT - Popcorn / rotating partners (Americano), with a full round robin when the numbers allow - Fixed partners - Mixed doubles (one man and one woman per team, never 3 against 1 when avoidable) - King of the Court (winners up, losers down, partners split) - Shootout / Mexicano (courts filled from the standings) - Open play queue (when a court frees up, the next four go on) - Skill balance using your players' levels SCORES AND STANDINGS - One tap per team, or just tap the winner - Games to 11, 15 or 21 (win by 2), or any score for timed games - Standings by wins, point difference, points and head to head; fair ranking when players have played different numbers of games - Saved groups: type or paste your regulars once, check in with one tap next week - Past sessions and CSV export FREE AND PRO Free: up to 8 players on 2 courts, popcorn and fixed partners, scores, standings and the fairness check.
