The paddle-stack problem

If you’ve run open play, you know these

Paddle-stack chaos

“Who’s up next?” gets asked every rotation. Someone always sits too long, and someone always plays back-to-back.

Mismatched teams

Beginners get steamrolled, and your strongest player carries the same partner three games running.

Lost scores

Half the matches end with “wait, what was the score?” and the whiteboard is wiped before anyone writes it down.

OpenPickle handles all three, so you can put the whiteboard away and actually play.

Everything your session needs

No paddle-stacking confusion. No arguments. Just games.

Smart auto matching

Skill-aware pairings and fair turn-taking, so the next match is ready the moment a court opens.

Live leaderboard

Wins, win rate, and streaks update after every match, with a podium your players will want to screenshot.

Share live — no login

One QR code. Anyone at the court can follow the queue, scores, and standings from their phone.

8 match formats

Smart Auto, Round Robin, Challenger’s Court, Mixed Doubles, Win/Lose Court and more. Pick the vibe for your session.

Court-side scoring

Hand each court its own scoring link, so players keep score themselves and you stop running between courts.

Big-screen live view

Put courts, queue, and leaderboard on a TV, with an announcer that calls players to their court.

Match formats

A format for every kind of session

Switch any time. OpenPickle does the matchmaking either way.

Win/Lose Court

Winners face other recent winners, losers face other recent losers — skill tiers separate naturally over time.

Smart Auto

Balances skill level, fresh matchups, and fair turn-taking automatically.

Round Robin

Prioritizes fresh pairings so players face and partner with as many others as possible.

Challenger's Court

Winners stay on the court and face the next challenger from the queue.

Skill Split

Takes the next players in line and splits them into evenly matched teams — may pair a stronger and weaker player together to even things out.

Skill Match

Matches similar skill levels against each other instead of balancing teams — beginners play beginners, intermediates play intermediates.

Mixed Doubles

Doubles only — pairs one self-reported man and one woman per team.

First Come First Out

No matchmaking — strictly the next players in line.
