Everything a tournament needs (and nothing it doesn’t)

No more spreadsheets, group chats, and a paper bracket taped to the wall.

📸

Already have it on paper?

Snap the sign-up sheet — several pages if it runs long — or upload the spreadsheet or Google Form export, and PlanMyPickle drafts the whole tournament: name, date, venue, divisions with their start times and rating bands, every player, every partner, every phone. You check the draft row by row, fix anything that’s off, and tap Create. Nothing is saved until you do.

How to use it: Organize → Add → Already have it on paper? Take a photo of each page (or pick them from your gallery), or upload a .csv / .xlsx, then Read. Review the draft — the reader tells you what it wasn’t sure about — and Create tournament. Anything the sheet didn’t say, like the date or the venue, is flagged and you fill it in right there.

🏆

Brackets, sorted

Pick round-robin, single-elimination, or pools→playoff and PlanMyPickle builds every match across every court — no double-booked players.

Official DUPR

DUPR is now the official rating system of USA Pickleball — run sanctioned, rated play and push finished results straight to it. Or keep it casual. Your call, per tournament.

🎚️

Skill brackets

Spin up 3.0–3.5, 3.5–4.0, and more. Each division is scheduled and ranked on its own, all in one event.

📲

QR check-in

Players scan a code to check in on game day. The front-desk clipboard officially retires.

📊

Live dashboard

The bracket and standings update the second a score is entered — players and spectators just watch it climb to the FINALS.

📣

Court calls, called by a crew

One tap texts each player their court — and the venue TV says it out loud, in the voice of one of nine AI announcers. Big Dill runs the mic; Barb reads the rules. Meet the crew ↓

💳

Registration & pay

Collect entry fees online and put players in the right bracket in seconds — instead of chasing Venmo payments all week.

🔒

Coordinator scoring

A secured admin page lets organizers enter win/loss from their phone, and the live dashboard updates instantly.

🤾

Team events (MLP)

Run Major-League-style team play — Women’s, Men’s and two Mixed lines with a DreamBreaker tiebreaker, team standings, and a team playoff that crowns a champion.

AI poster studio

Design a poster for your event in seconds — pick a style or just describe the look you want. Pulls in your event’s title, date and venue, drops in your club logo and sponsor logos, then attach it to the event or download it to post anywhere.

How to use it: open Tools → AI Poster Studio, tap Design from one of my events (or type a title), pick a style — or describe it in your own words — add a QR code if you like, and hit Generate. Then Set as the poster for that event, Attach to an event, or Download. If a render doesn’t come out, you’re not charged.

📺

Live TV scoreboard

Cast a full-screen board to the venue TV — leaderboard, live courts, up-next, and the champion podium. Brand it with your colors, font, and sponsor logo.

From sign-ups to the FINALS in six steps

  1. 1

    Create the event

    Choose the format, add rating brackets, set courts and fees — or snap the sign-up sheet you already have and let the app draft it. Sanctioned or casual.

  2. 2

    Players register & pay

    They join the right bracket and pay online while you watch the roster fill.

  3. 3

    Scan to check in

    Day-of, players QR-check-in themselves. The desk stays empty.

  4. 4

    Auto-build the schedule

    One tap generates every match across every court.

  5. 5

    Score it live

    Coordinators tap in results; the bracket and standings update in real time.

  6. 6

    Send to DUPR

    Sanctioned event? Push the finished matches to DUPR and call it a day. 🏆

…and this is what step six looks like

Summer Slam Send-Off · Life Time, San Diego · Aug 29, 2026 — five divisions, one afternoon, every podium run on PlanMyPickle.

Meet the crew — your AI court callers

Every tournament gets a voice on the venue TV: the mic check, the rules, every “You’re up — Court 3,” and the podium. Nine announcers, one per division if you like — tap the speaker on a card to hear them. Pick them in Tools → TV board → Voice.

Big Dill, the house announcer — a pickle in a headband with a paddle
House announcer🇺🇸 Chula Vista, California

Big Dill

Hatched in a brine barrel behind a Chula Vista rec center and raised on a diet of crowd noise. Has never once been nervous on a microphone, mostly because he has never once been quiet enough to notice. Runs the mic check, hypes the room, and closes every tournament with the same three words.

“Mic check, one, two… is this thing on?”

Send-off: “Let’s play some pickleball.”

Barb — visor, headset, reading glasses on a chain, arms crossed
Rules & regulations🇺🇸 Ohio, by way of every gym in America

Barb

Thirty-one years of middle-school P.E. and not one lost whistle. Reads your tournament’s rules like a woman who has filed reports before, and she has. Sighs in three languages. Never uses two words where one will do.

Here is what the players don’t know: at 6 a.m., alone in the parking lot, she does the full Macarena. There is a joke book under the visor. Her laugh sounds like a car that won’t start, and once it starts it does not stop. She has cried at every single podium and blamed the sunscreen every single time.

“Listen up, because I am only saying this once.”

Send-off: “Go on. Show them what you’ve got.”

Brody — sunglasses on his head, open Hawaiian shirt, board shorts, headset
Vibes🇺🇸 Pacific Beach, California

Brody

Former surf instructor. Current surf instructor, technically — he just also does this. The only person alive who can talk a room back down after Barb, which is the whole reason he was hired. Has never known what time it is and has never been late.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Barb. Easy. Everybody… breathe. It’s pickleball.”

Send-off: “Send it!”

Tita Joy — warm smile, gold hoops, handbag on her arm, headset
Auntie of the whole event🇵🇭 Philippines

Tita Joy

Straight from Manila, and the Manila traffic came with her: arrives forty minutes late (the traffic, anak) with lumpia for everybody, including the other team. Will ask if you’ve eaten before she says your court. Watching you the whole match. Not in a scary way. Okay, a little.

“Then we eat OFF the court. Barb, you look hungry. Come.”

Send-off: “Ay, and drink your water!”

Tito Boy — Warriors shirt, gold chain, thumbs up, headset
Hype, and karaoke🇵🇭 Philippines

Tito Boy

Born in Cebu, raised on karaoke and basketball. Owns one shirt and it is a Golden State Warriors shirt. First question on arrival: where is the karaoke machine. Second question: why is there no karaoke machine. Gives a thumbs up to every call, every player, every dog in the parking lot.

“Where’s the karaoke machine? … No karaoke? Okay, okay.”

Send-off: “Sige, sige — let’s go!”

Tía Carmen — embroidered blouse, gold hoops and bangles, headset
The Spanish-language mic🇲🇽 Mexico

Tía Carmen

From Guadalajara, Jalisco, and she will tell you so before the mic check. Calls every player mi vida whether she knows them or not. Explains the rules again in Spanish, warmer and somehow faster. Does not settle a room — she cheers it off the bench. Bangles audible from Court 1 to Court 8.

“Cuando escuchen su nombre, vayan a su cancha, mijos.”

Send-off: “¡Ándale, mija! ¡A jugar!”

Tío Julio — mustache, green jersey, gold chain, thumbs up, headset
Co-host, en español🇲🇽 Mexico

Tío Julio

Tijuana born, Chula Vista every weekend. Loudest laugh in the building and it’s not close. Wears the jersey to every event, including the ones where nobody is playing fútbol, which is all of them. Reads the rules rapidito and means it. Tía Carmen’s co-host; Barb’s nemesis; everybody’s tío.

“¡Buenas, buenas! Rapidito, en español…”

Send-off: “¡Ándale! ¡A jugar!”

Dusty — cowboy hat, red bandana, leather vest, jeans, boots with spurs
The Dill brothers · the slow hand🇺🇸 Somewhere outside Amarillo, Texas

Dusty

Big Dill’s brother — the one who went west and stayed there. Owns a ranch, or knows a guy who does. Has never once raised his voice on a microphone and has never once needed to. Reads a court call like he’s got all day, because he does. The straw is not a prop.

“ALRIGHT, alright, ALRIGHT! Dusty here, y’all — court calls are ON!”

Send-off: “Take care of each other out there, now!”

Huge Dill — tuxedo, crooked bow tie, fingerless gloves, stage microphone
The Dill brothers · the main event🇺🇸 Las Vegas, Nevada

Huge Dill

The big brother. Bigger than Big Dill in every measurable way, including volume. Spent twenty years announcing fights in a tuxedo and sees no reason to stop now that it’s pickleball. Introduces a 3.0 mixed-doubles court like it’s a title bout, and honestly, it lands. The bow tie is always crooked. Nobody has told him.

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! We are TIED — two games apiece! It all comes down to THIS. It’s DREAMBREAKER TIME!”

Send-off: “THE TIME! IS! NOW! Go get it!”

The whole crew does the opening remarks once, at the start of the day — Big Dill’s mic check, Barb’s rules (your rules: your courts, your points, your win-by), Brody talking everyone back down, Dusty agreeing with him, the tías and tíos arriving late, Huge Dill calling the main event, and the three words. Then they call every court, and the winners, until the last podium.

Questions, de-pickled

Is it really DUPR-sanctioned?

Yes. DUPR is now the official rating system of USA Pickleball, and PlanMyPickle is a DUPR partner — run DUPR-sanctioned events and submit completed results so ratings stay current. Or keep it casual. Your call, per tournament.

I already have my sign-ups on a clipboard / in a spreadsheet. Do I have to retype them?

No. Take a photo of each page (or upload the .csv, .xlsx or Google Form export) and the app drafts the tournament for you — divisions, start times, rating bands, players and partners. You review the draft, fix anything the reader wasn’t sure about, and tap Create. Handwriting varies, so the review is the point: every row is yours to check before anything is saved. Included on every plan.

Can I run multiple skill brackets at once?

Yep. Create brackets like 3.0–3.5 and 3.5–4.0 — each is scheduled and ranked independently within the same event.

What formats are supported?

Round-robin, single-elimination, and round-robin pools that feed a single-elimination playoff bracket.

How do players check in?

They scan a QR code on game day. No clipboard, no line.

What’s it cost?

Running a tournament is free — every format, scheduling, registration, live scoring, and DUPR-sanctioned rated play. Premium ($15/mo or a $29 per-event pass) removes our branding, adds a broadcast overlay and SMS court calls, puts the crew — nine AI announcers — on your venue TV, and unlocks advanced draws + scoreboard styling. Club ($59/mo) covers a whole club rather than one organizer: Premium’s branding removed, sponsor logo, scoreboard styling, overlay and the crew on the TV for every event your club runs, co-owners’ events too (advanced draws and the crew’s league-night rotation calls follow the organizer’s own plan), plus coach seats, the full league season archive, 10 AI posters a month for the club, 500 texts a month to members who said yes to texts (a long text can count as 2–3). Email campaigns to members are coming soon. Club+ ($129/mo) is everything in Club plus court booking, memberships with tiers and a waitlist, open play with check-in and the front desk, a courts TV, a public booking page, a pro shop and multiple locations. Pay yearly and save 15%: Club is $601.80/yr ($50.15/mo), Club+ is $1,315.80/yr ($109.65/mo). Both start with 3 months free. Running a club stays free: the all-time leaderboard, standings and history, roster, schedule, attendance, announcements, dues, co-owners, your public club page, member invites, new-event pushes, DUPR club tools (Bring my club from DUPR too), the club dashboard and e-signed waivers cost nothing on any plan. And everything your club built during early access stays free, forever, whether you upgrade or not. See the pricing section.

What’s the difference between Club and Club+?

Club runs your club’s events and keeps members in the loop; Club+ runs your courts as well. Club ($59/mo) puts Premium on every event your club runs and adds coach seats, the full league season archive, 10 AI posters a month and 500 texts a month to members who said yes to texts (email campaigns are coming soon). Club+ ($129/mo) is everything in Club plus court booking (prices and prime-time bands, split pay, closures, standing bookings, packages, promo codes, receipts and the court-use report), memberships with tiers and a waitlist, open play with check-in and no-shows, the front desk, a courts TV, a public booking page and a booking link for your Google Business Profile, a pro shop and rentals, and multiple locations. Play on someone else’s courts? Club is enough. Run your own? Club+. Switch any time from your account.

How does the free trial work?

Club and Club+ both start with 3 months free, one trial per club. You add a card at checkout and pay $0 today. Cancel any time in the 3 months and you pay nothing; we email you 3 days before the trial ends so it never sneaks up on you. After that it’s the plan’s price, monthly or yearly (15% off yearly). Upgrade, downgrade or cancel any time from your account.

Do you support team (MLP) events?

Yes — Major-League-style team play with Women’s, Men’s and two Mixed lines, a DreamBreaker singles tiebreaker at 2–2, team standings, and a team playoff that crowns a champion on the live board.

Is there a live scoreboard for a venue TV?

Yes. A full-screen, read-only board shows the leaderboard, the match on each court, what’s up next, and the champion — and it refreshes on its own. Premium lets you brand it with your colors, font, and a sponsor watermark.

Can I collect entry fees online?

Yes — set a registration fee and players pay as they sign up. PlanMyPickle takes no fee right now — only the card processing fee is added at checkout.

Can I make a poster for my event?

Yes — the AI poster studio designs one in seconds. Pick a style or describe the look you want, and it uses your event’s title, date and venue, plus your club logo and any sponsor logos you upload. Attach it to the event so it shows on the public page, or download it to post anywhere. Generations are $2.99 for 5; Club and Club+ include 10 a month for the club, shared by its staff. Posters are kept for 30 days unless you attach one to an event.

We already use CourtReserve for bookings — do we have to switch?

No. Keep your booking system and run PlanMyPickle beside it for the event layer: tournaments, leagues, brackets, live scoring, and DUPR submission. Or, on Club+, book courts here too — prices, split pay, memberships, packages, open play and a front desk — and bring your bookings over from a CourtReserve export.

What does PlanMyPickle do for a club?

It replaces the spreadsheets, group texts and hand-typed DUPR results with one place. Invite members to an event in a tap (everyone, or people you pick); every member gets a push when you post a new club event; on Club, text members who said yes to texts (email campaigns are coming soon); Bring my club from DUPR and run DUPR events that count for your DUPR club; and on Club+, check people in to open play, mark no-shows, refund a membership from its receipt, let a full membership tier keep its own waitlist, put every court’s now and next on a TV, and take bookings from your Google Business Profile. See it all on the club dashboard on the web: members, revenue by source and CSVs (churn and court use come with Club+ memberships and courts). More for clubs

Who can see my club’s members?

Only your club’s staff and the organizers of your club’s recent events (up to 30 days after an event ends). A club’s contacts belong to that club — no other club can see, export or message them. Club texts go only to members who verified their phone and said yes to texts; booking alerts a club turns on (like a court reminder) go to that player’s own phone.
