You know what time the day ends before you open entries. Then pairs register and pay, you draw the pools, and the day is followed on the scoring table and on the TV at the bar.
No subscription The money goes to the club’s account Pickleball
Events, the number of pairs you expect, a format, your courts and your hours: the simulation places every match the way the real schedule will, and tells you whether the day fits. Nothing is published, nobody is notified.
The verdict sits at the top of the screen, against the time the hall has to be handed back: it fits, it is tight, or it runs over. With the number of matches, how busy the courts are, and the longest wait a pair has between two of its matches.
Each day has its hours, each court its name. You see the grid court by court, and you can place a pool yourself before letting the scheduler do the rest. When the committee agrees, the simulation becomes the tournament in one click.
Prepare, register, compose, play, publish. Each stage opens on what is left to do: a volunteer who takes the tournament over a year later knows where things stand without having to remember anything.
Events, prices, extras (dinner, T-shirt), hall and poster: a list of things to settle, ticked off as you go. The price can go down for further events, and the screen estimates what the club takes in if every place is filled, commission deducted.
Players register as a pair, or alone for a singles or Americano event. Their partner’s place is held while the partner confirms, and it counts as taken. They pay by Bancontact or card, on a page in the club’s name, or confirm and pay at the bar.
Pairs are placed by level in your divisions, the format proposed by the simulation is recalculated on the pairs actually registered, and the draw follows. The schedule offers three versions to compare: the one that finishes earliest, the one that leaves time to breathe, the one that groups the events.
One court, one card: the planned time, the match (“Pool B · match 7”, “Quarter-final 1”) and a button labelled with the next action: start, finish, correct. The day’s home screen says which court is waiting, and who has not arrived yet, with the time of their first match. Over two days, each day has its own table.
In their space, each player sees their day: their matches of the day across all their events, their pool, their path to the final, and the matches they will play if they win. Pools, brackets and the full schedule can be searched by name. Finished podiums are published in one go, and a score corrected afterwards is flagged. After the last final, the matches played come out as a file ready to upload to DUPR.
One link, opened once on the TV in the hall, and the screen cycles on its own: courts in play and the next match, the schedule with a line marking the time, ranked pools with their matches, the brackets. It shows only the current day and refreshes itself. Nobody comes to the bar to ask when they play.

The club’s subscription, if it has one, does not cover its tournaments. Full pricing.
If your club runs an open for three hundred players with official referees and licences to check, other tools do that better. This is Saturday’s tournament: a hundred and twenty players, six courts, three events, and a committee that would like to have dinner in the evening.
