SimplPickl vs Courtside

SimplPickl builds the schedule so your group can just play. Tell it who showed up and how many courts you have. It works out the rotation - who partners with whom, who plays against whom, and who sits out - and keeps all three fair across the whole session rather than round by round. No clipboard, no arguing about who has sat twice. WHAT IT DOES - Builds round-robin rotations for open play, mixed doubles, and singles - Balances partners, opponents and sit-outs together, not one at the cost of the others - Spreads court assignments so nobody is stuck on the back court all morning - Records scores and keeps standings as the session runs - Group chat, so the conversation lives next to the schedule instead of in a text thread - RSVPs, so you know your numbers before you arrive WHO IT IS FOR Anyone who runs a regular pickleball group - the person at the rec center with a clipboard, the organizer of a Saturday morning game, a club running an evening session. FREE, AND NO ADS SimplPickl is free. There is no advertising in the app, no in-app purchase and no subscription. SimplPickl is in beta. Features are still changing, and there is a link in the app to tell us what is not working.

Courtside connects the people who organize pickleball with the people who show up to play — one app for both sides of the net. FOR ORGANIZERS • Create and publish events in minutes: courts, capacity, tournament format, and start time • Keep events in draft while you plan, then flip them live when you're ready • Manage your roster — see who's joined, who's waitlisted, and invite your followers directly • Run live scoring on game day: enter scores, track rounds, and manage court assignments in real time • Seed and run brackets across round robin, single elimination, double elimination, Swiss, and group stage formats FOR PLAYERS • Discover pickleball events and communities near you by location and radius • Follow the organizers and clubs you trust — their events land right in your feed • Join open events in one tap, or land on the waitlist if a game is full • Track live scores and match results as they happen, court by court • View player stats — wins, losses, and win rate — for anyone in an event Courtside handles the logistics that usually live in group chats, spreadsheets, and side conversations — so clubs can spend their energy on the game, not the admin.
