How to run a pickleball round robin
Whether it is a Tuesday-night mixer or a club round robin, setup takes about a minute.
- Create a tournament in CourtTable, pick pickleball and choose round robin, Americano (mixer) or King of the Court.
- Choose singles or doubles and set how many courts you have.
- Set the game length, such as games to 11 or 15, or a time limit per round.
- Add players from your directory or type new names, and press start.
- Share the link or QR code, enter each score as games finish, and the next round and the standings update live.
How to play in a pickleball tournament
Joining a pickleball round robin or mixer? Here is how the evening works.
- Open the organizer's link or QR code to see your court, partner and opponents for each round.
- Play your game to the agreed score or time, then report the result to the organizer.
- In a mixer your partner changes every round and your points count for you alone; in King of the Court a win moves you up a court.
- Check the live standings between rounds to see where you stand.
Pickleball scoring in CourtTable
Pickleball games are usually played to 11, win by 2, with side-out or rally scoring. Whichever way your group counts, you enter the final score of each game and CourtTable does the rest.
- Points race: games to 11, 15 or 21, or a fixed time per round.
- Rounds can be capped to fit your court time.
- Standings rank players or teams by wins and points as the event goes on.
Live standings on every phone and on the big screen
Each pickleball event gets a public page with the pairings, scores and standings, so players stop crowding the whiteboard. Show the TV view at the courts, and share the winner's podium when the last game is played.
