Ladder Night
Four players in a doubles rally on a lit outdoor pickleball court at night

Mark who's out. The courts build themselves.

Players tell you they can't make it all week, scattered across texts and group chats. Type in who's out and this deals everyone else onto courts in ladder order, ready to print, before you'd have finished reading the messages.

3-day free trial. No card required.

What actually happens on a Wednesday

Reading the messages is the job. Rebuilding the courts around them used to be a second one.

  • can't make it tonight, sorry
  • out for the next two weeks, back on the 15th
  • running late, can you still put me on a court
  • my sub is coming instead of me

Roughly a third of the ladder, one message at a time, all week long.

Tap the names that told you. The courts redeal themselves as you go.

What it does

Attendance is opt-out

Everyone is assumed in. You only touch the names of the people who are out, so a normal week costs you nothing to set up.

The courts deal themselves

Whoever's playing gets sorted onto courts of five, some of four when the numbers don't divide evenly, in ladder order, automatically.

Print the sheet and the scorecards

The court sheet is sized to post straight to your group. Every court gets a round-robin scorecard to play from.

Nothing for players to install

No player accounts, no app, no login. Players show up and read the sheet you send.
