“ Tournaments We are very excited to add pickleball to our software platform. We’ve been the industry leader in both tennis and platform tennis for 20 years and we look forward to serving pickleball players with the same passion and commitment.” n Tournaments - This is the biggest draw for local administrators—the ability to run tournaments without any fuss. Tournaments are free to host on the site, and players sign up and securely pay on their own directly through the online app. All players can see who has signed up and draws are put together in real time. The app also records results and adjusts ratings up and down based on player performance and match results. If you’ve thought your local group was too small to host a tournament, think again—the tools you need are right here, and they’re incredibly easy to use. n Round Robins - Another benefit of the app is the ability to organize Round Robin play. Matches can be posted daily, weekly or as often as administrators like. Players can register to play online at no charge, and the app keeps track of everything, including the automatic suspension of registration when all spots are filled. n Events - With the Events module, administrators can post any number of special happenings for interested local members. From demo days to get-togethers, pro- am events to tournaments, or anything else pickleball, these listings can be inserted at no cost on the events page, where everyone can see them and respond. Round Robins With all of these benefits, administrators and players can focus on what they enjoy most—playing pickleball.
