Questions people ask
Is PicklePal really free?
Yes. Every format and every feature is free, with no sign-up and no paywall. There is no premium tier holding the bracket hostage.
Do I have to create an account?
No. Open the page, type in your players and start playing. Events save to your browser and sync in the background, so they are still there next week.
What is the difference between round robin, pool play, ladder pools and a tournament?
A round robin rotates everyone through games and ranks one table. Pool play splits the field into pools before a playoff. Ladder pool play runs repeated promotion and relegation cycles. Tournament mode adds DUPR-seeded pools and a single-elimination bracket.
How many players and courts does it handle?
Anything from 4 players on one court to a club-sized field across sixteen courts. Give the courts your real numbers and the schedule uses them.
Does it need DUPR ratings?
Only if you want balanced teams, balanced pools or closer games. Leave ratings blank for casual open play and everything still works.
What is skinny singles and when does PicklePal use it?
Skinny singles is a one-on-one game on half the court. In a rotating-partner pool two players can finish level, so PicklePal tells you exactly who plays off for which position and you tap the winner.
Can other people follow along or help keep score?
Yes. Turn on the live link and anyone can watch scores, standings and the bracket update on their own phone. A separate scorekeeper link lets someone you trust enter scores from another court.
Will my schedule still be there tomorrow?
Yes. Events save on your device and sync to the cloud in the background. Nothing is visible to anyone else unless you turn on a share link.
