Picklerlobby Premium

Go Premium. Schedule events, run tournaments, get paid up front.

Premium is completely optional and built for clubs that organize larger or scheduled events: leagues, socials, tournaments, and ticketed nights where you publish sessions ahead, run live brackets, take RSVPs, and collect court fees over GCash. Running everyday drop-in open play? That stays free, forever, and you never need Premium for it.

Same twenty players. Two very different nights.

One Thursday, doors to lights off, run twice: once with paddles stacked in a rack, once with Picklerlobby holding the queue.

  1. 6:55Doors open
    Paddle stacking

    Paddles go into the holder in whatever order people reach it.

    On Picklerlobby

    Players scan the code at the door and drop into one queue, from anywhere in the room.

  2. 7:00First games
    Paddle stacking

    The first four paddles go on. Everyone else hovers by the rack to guard their spot.

    On Picklerlobby

    Courts fill from the queue, and the next four hear their names called out loud.

  3. 7:40Round three
    Paddle stacking

    Friends stack together, so the same four keep drawing each other.

    On Picklerlobby

    Fewest games and longest wait go on first, and eight modes decide the matchups.

  4. 8:20Whose turn?
    Paddle stacking

    Two paddles got moved. Two people are sure it was their turn.

    On Picklerlobby

    The queue is on every phone in the room. Nobody has to ask.

  5. 9:10Last call
    Paddle stacking

    The quickest stackers have played all night. A newcomer barely got on.

    On Picklerlobby

    Games are spread evenly, and the standings show it.

  6. 9:30Lights off
    Paddle stacking

    Nobody wrote a score down. The night is gone once the paddles leave the rack.

    On Picklerlobby

    Results roll up into a club record that keeps, ready for next week.

Final
Paddle stacking

A night spent watching the rack.

On Picklerlobby

A night spent playing, with standings that keep.

Three small steps. No setup tax.

From an empty court list to a running session in about thirty seconds. Everything after that is one tap at a time.

Create

Pick courts, game type, mode, and drop in players. Names can be typed, pasted as a list, or searched. Duplicates are flagged automatically.

Manage

Start the next match on any open court with one tap. Record winners, check players in or out, edit rosters mid-session.

Save (optional)

Finish and discard, or save the session into a club account. Logged-in clubs auto-keep history and unlock the dashboard, leaderboards, and a public profile.

Eight modes. Pick the vibe of the night.

This one is playable. Choose a mode, then draw match after match from the same eight-player queue and watch its rule hold as the night goes on.

Built for the organizer with a phone in their hand.

12 things, all free

  • Live courts dashboard

    Every court, queue spot, and result updates in real time over WebSockets. The hot path is Redis-first, so the UI stays snappy even on phones.

  • Fair queue, by default

    The scheduler always prefers players with the fewest games and the longest wait, then leans on the mode for the rest. Repeat matchups are avoided when better options exist.

  • Voice announcements

    The next match is read out loud on the organizer device, so the room hears who is up without anyone shouting. Toggleable per device.

  • Public viewer link

    Share one session link with anyone in the room. They get a live, read-only view of courts, queue, and standings on their own screen.

  • Scan-to-check-in

    Post the session code at the door and players check themselves in by scanning. Self check-ins slot into the queue without reshuffling the next match.

  • Substitute & shuffle

    Swap a player into a live match without ending the game, or shuffle partners on a court with one tap. Preview the change before you confirm.

  • Anonymous or club mode

    Start a session in seconds, no signup. End it and discard, or save the whole thing into a brand new club without losing a match.

  • Live standings, explained

    Rankings update as results land, with collapsible guides covering provisional players, strength of schedule, and how organizers correct a result. Anyone mid-game is tagged.

  • Overall strength

    Each profile carries an estimated chance of beating an average lineup, worked out match by match from saved games. Beating stronger lineups moves it more.

  • Club dashboard & history

    Saved sessions roll up into your club dashboard with totals, weekly activity, top players, and a public profile page anyone can browse.

  • One login, three identifiers

    Sign in with your username, email, or club slug. Your password resolves the right account, which is great for clubs that hand out a club URL as the login.

  • Export matches to DUPR

    Premium clubs export scored matches as a DUPR-ready CSV from a live session, a saved session, or the dashboard. Collect player IDs at check-in and they come prefilled.

Tournaments

Run a bracket without the spreadsheet.

Start one on the spot or launch it from a scheduled meet. Picklerlobby seeds the entrants, tracks every round, and advances winners as you report scores.

  • Entrants are seeded by skill, and in doubles a fixed pair stays together as one team the whole event.
  • Assign matches to open courts or let auto-assign do it, and skip a match to defer it when players are not ready.
  • Report a score and winners advance themselves, with the live bracket on the public viewer link.
  • Edit a mis-scored match from the bracket and the correction re-points every later round.

Single elimination

One loss and you are out. The fastest way to crown a champion when court time is short.

Double elimination

A losers bracket gives every entrant a second life, and the grand final settles it.

Round robin

Everyone plays everyone, ranked by wins then point differential. Run it alone, or as pools that feed an elimination bracket.

Tournaments are a Premium feature. Everyday open play stays free.

You run the session. Picklerlobby runs the chaos.

Fresh out of the latest releases.

Shipped to every club the day it lands, free tier included.

    The square redesign and guest sync

    A crisp new look across the app, a rebuilt public live view, highlights beside the courts, and Premium guest sync that links a guest to their player profile.

  2. Sep 7, 2026

    Couple Hunt, for mixed doubles

    Social Shuffle for mixed doubles: every team is one man and one woman, and no couple repeats until every combination has been played. Organizers set a gender at check-in for anyone who needs one, and players who self check in save theirs once to their own profile.

  3. Sep 6, 2026

    Social Shuffle

    Never the same partner twice. Matchmaking only fields a foursome that still allows an all-new pairing, and keeps the sides skill-even among the fresh options. Booked pairs are exempt and stay together all night.

  4. Sep 1, 2026

    Simpler Premium pricing

    Premium is ₱399 a month, or ₱1,000 for three months, which works out around ₱333 a month. There is no promo to catch: the lower price is simply the price. The 7-day free trial and no auto-pay are unchanged.

Roadmap

On the roadmap, in active build.

What is Picklerlobby?

Picklerlobby is a free pickleball open play app for clubs and organizers. It runs a live court dashboard, fair matchmaking across eight modes (Balanced, All Random, Rated Match, Court Kings, Skill Exclusive Courts, Last Man Standing, Social Shuffle, and Couple Hunt), voice call-outs for the next match, live standings with per-player records, and a public viewer link so everyone in the room can follow courts, the queue, and standings in real time. Premium adds scheduled open plays, tournaments, and DUPR match export.

Is Picklerlobby a free pickleball open play app?

Yes. Running open play is free with no caps: unlimited sessions, courts, and checked-in players, plus live courts, fair queues, voice call-outs, the public viewer link, and club history. Premium is optional, for organizers who publish scheduled open plays, run tournaments, and collect court fees over GCash.

How do I run a pickleball open play session?

Open Picklerlobby and create a session: pick your courts, game type, and matchmaking mode, then add players by typing, pasting a list, or letting them scan in. Tap to start the next match on any open court, record winners, and check players in or out. When you finish, discard the session or save it to a club account to keep history, leaderboards, and a public profile.

Do participants need accounts?

No. Organizers add names to the roster and anyone can open the public viewer link. Accounts matter when you want club-owned history, dashboards, and saved sessions.

Is Picklerlobby really free?

Running open play is free: unlimited sessions, courts, and checked-in players, with live courts, fair queues, voice call-outs, the public viewer link, and club history all included. Premium is optional, only for organizers who publish scheduled open plays, run tournaments, and collect court fees.

What's included in Premium?

Premium is ₱399 a month, or ₱1,000 for three months, and it starts with a 7-day free trial. There is no auto-pay: you renew by GCash or bank transfer whenever you are ready. It unlocks scheduled open plays, so the courts, mode, player cap, and start time are set once ahead of time and the session launches the moment players arrive. It also unlocks tournaments (single elimination, double elimination, and round robin), RSVPs with a waitlist, up-front court fee collection, and DUPR match export. The full court fee goes straight to the organizer; only a small per-player platform fee runs on the subscription. Everyday open play stays free.

Can I run a tournament on Picklerlobby?

Yes. Premium organizers can run a live tournament on the spot or schedule one players book and pay for in advance. Pick single elimination, double elimination, or round robin, including round-robin pools that feed an elimination bracket. Entrants are seeded by skill, a fixed doubles pair stays together as one team, and you assign matches to open courts or let auto-assign do it. Winners advance automatically, organizers can edit a mis-scored match from the bracket, and everyone follows it live on the public viewer link.

What is anonymous vs club mode?

Anonymous mode spins up a live room instantly and you can discard it when you are done. Club mode attaches sessions to your Picklerlobby club so history and dashboards stay organized.

How does the public viewer link work?

Every session gets a slug URL. Share it in your group chat. Spectators see courts, queue, and standings update live while organizers keep control on the manage screen.

Which devices does it support?

Modern mobile browsers first. Organizers usually run the session from a phone. Viewers can follow along on phones, tablets, or laptops.

Run open play free. Go Premium only to collect fees.

Live courts, fair queues, voice call-outs, the public viewer link, and club history are free for every organizer and player, with no caps.

  • Unlimited free sessions
  • No player cap
  • Premium only when you charge
