Most pickleball clubs are held together by group texts and spreadsheets.
That's the stuff we deleted.
Open play, actually balanced.
Feed in who's here, hit rotate. The orchestrator uses DUPR ratings to snake-draft players across courts, tracks who sat out last round, and auto-rotates on your timer. Fair courts, full courts, zero whiteboard math.
- DUPR-powered skill balancing
- Snake-draft assignment with quality scoring
- Configurable auto-rotation (3–30 min)
- Three modes: manual FIFO, auto-balanced, auto-random
- Live court map for players on their phones
Same Tuesday night. Two very different rooms.
From the founder
“I've played 4.0 open play at three different clubs in the last six months. Every one of them ran it out of a whiteboard, a group text, and a staffer yelling court numbers over the din. That's not a tech problem. That's a dignity problem. We built the orchestrator so the people running your night don't have to be the bouncer, the referee, and the scorekeeper all at once.”

“The orchestrator runs our Tuesday open play now — three staff members got to stop refereeing the whiteboard. We went from 4 minute rotations with arguments to 8 minute rotations with nobody asking who's next.”
“We replaced a Stripe account, a CourtReserve account, a Mailchimp list, and a shared Google Sheet. Our front desk shift is 35 minutes shorter because nobody's re-entering walk-ins from paper.”
“We went from 4-minute rotations with arguments to 8-minute rotations with nobody asking who's next.”
Northbrook runs Tuesday and Thursday open play for 40+ players across 12 courts. Before Pickle Jar: three staff and a whiteboard. After: the orchestrator runs itself — staff circulate, handle the front desk, and stop refereeing who's up next.
Pickleball-first, not retrofitted.
Tennis-first systems and generic gym SaaS can cover the basics. But clubs end up stacking spreadsheets for everything those tools don't handle. Here's how Pickle Jar stacks up against the four tools we see facilities switching from.

The ones owners actually ask.
CSV bulk import. 15 minutes for 500 members. We've migrated clubs from CourtReserve, Club Automation, and Mindbody.
Either. Both. Per-facility. Stripe Connect for transfers, Square Terminal for card-present, all in one checkout flow.
If you own or operate more than one club, one login, switch between them, per-facility staff roles, consolidated reporting.
Email invite with a magic link. No passwords until they want one. Apple Wallet pass added on first booking.
DUPR-powered snake draft with sit-out memory. It scores each round 0.0 to 1.0 on skill balance and known-partner diversity, and rotates on your timer (3–30 min).
Configurable: auto-release after N minutes, optional no-show fee, three-strike suspension. All policies are per-facility.
No. White-glove migration is included for all plans above Starter. First open-play night is run alongside our team.
US-East, encrypted at rest and in transit. Per-facility export any time. We don't sell aggregate data, ever.
And a few things we deliberately don't do.
You've earned the right to know what you're not signing up for.
We don't do fitness classes or spa management. Pickleball is the entire point.
Four roles. Platform owner, facility owner, staff, member. That's it.
You get a bill once a month. No surprise percentages on every transaction.
