PicklePairings runs your pickleball session so you don't have to run it on a paper grid. Pick a format, add your players or teams, and every round is paired for you. Type the scores in as games finish and the standings sort themselves. It's free, it needs no account, and it keeps working when the gym Wi-Fi doesn't. FIVE FORMATS • Round Robin — fixed doubles teams, everyone plays everyone. The classic club session. • Americano — partners rotate every round and everyone is scored individually. Ideal for mixed-ability social play. • Swiss — fixed teams paired against similar records each round, never repeating a matchup. For when you have too many teams for a full round robin. • Knockout — single-elimination bracket, with byes spread fairly. • Double Elimination — winners' and losers' brackets, a grand final, and a full bracket reset if the losers' side wins game one. BUILT FOR THE SIDELINE • Add teams one at a time, or paste a whole roster and let the app pair players into balanced or random doubles teams. • Enter real point scores — 11-7, 15-13 — not just win or loss. • Standings rank on wins, then point differential, then points scored. • A court number on every match, so nobody has to ask where they're playing. • Print a round sheet to tape up by the courts, or share the pairings straight into the group chat. • Withdraw a player mid-session and later rounds route around them. • Undo any mistake. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • No account. No sign-up. Not even an email address. • No server — your tournament is stored on your own device. • Works fully offline. Open it, pair rounds and enter scores with no signal at all. • Export a tournament to a file to back it up or move it to another device. FREE No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, and no formats locked behind a paywall. Everything above is the whole app. Questions, bugs or a feature you want? support@picklepairings.com
