Pickleball Play

Pickleball Play is an iOS app from codeDependent Software for organizing league play or groups of recreational pickleball players. It focuses on doubles play and is described as a way to avoid manual methods such as shuffling paddles or using winners and losers boxes.

The app supports several specific workflow steps for running a session. Users can create a new league or select one that was created earlier, add players, mark attendance by deselecting names, and remove players by swiping left. It also lets organizers choose the number of courts, then shows a lineup for each court along with a separate list of spares. The current game is marked with a green ball, and tapping that indicator marks a game complete and opens the next one. If players arrive late or leave early, the roster can be adjusted before returning to the lineup. The description also states that players are arranged in random order every time, that spares sit out in order even if the roster changes, and that the system is designed so the same partner is never repeated.

Pickleball Play stores and saves as many leagues as needed, and its algorithm is described as able to accommodate any number of players and any number of courts. It requires no Wi-Fi.
