PaddleScramble vs Brackly

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.
