Pickleball tournament questions
Do players need to install an app?
No. Registration, brackets and scoring all run in the phone's browser.
Do referees need an account?
No. Each referee gets a time-limited QR code and scans it to score. Organizers can revoke codes at any time.
How are skill divisions set?
By DUPR rating or age group. Organizers set the range for each event.
Can we rent just the software and run it ourselves?
Yes. You set up the tournament, run the draw and hand scoring codes to your own referees.
