My Round Robin

My Round Robin supports up to a 30-player/team round robin pickleball match with optional scoring.

The app consists of four sections, Game, Score, Players, and Teams. In Players, you can add and edit players that are permanently saved. Players can be added with the Add Players dialog, by importing Contacts, or by importing a JSON file, a sample of which is on the support web site. Player names can be edited, and a player can be active or inactive. Only active players appear in the Active Players list in the Play Game section.

To play a game, choose either Players or Teams with the Toggle button. Depending on the screen size and orientation, you'll either see an ellipsis (...) or the How to Play and Edit buttons in the upper right corner. How to Play provides detailed instructions for how to use the app, while the Edit button allows you to either delete players or move then around by clicking and dragging on the 3 bars icon. Moving players around allows people to choose their byes. Because we sometimes have 20-25 players for a round robin, I like to preload the players. Clicking on a player's name in a particular highlights that row and adds a checkmark, so that you can keep track of who has arrived.

Click the Players List in the upper left corner, and once you have at least eight players or teams selected, an Add Courts button appears. Click the button to advance to the Courts page and select the appropriate number of courts (i.e. eight players, two courts, 20 players, 5 courts). Click the Generate Round Robin button and you get what's known as the Pickleball Sheet view, which lists the games, players, and the courts they are playing on. Note that the email notifications button is disabled if there are no players with emails. Email notifications allow you to view your court assignments, partners, and opponents in an HTML format.

Clicking on the link for each Game button allows you to see the details for a particular game and enter the scores, while clicking on the microphone icon announces the court assignments for that game, along with the serving and receiving teams. If you don't need scoring, you can turn it off on the Scores tab, and that will allow you to display all of the court assignments and players for a given game on an iPad without the need to scroll.

Feel free to send me an email if you find any bugs or can think of something new to add
