Paddle Stack
For pickleball open play

Nobody should have to ask “who’s next?”

Paddle Stack runs the paddle stack for you. It keeps the rotation fair, puts the score on everyone’s phone, and gets a full group checked in with one QR code — no accounts, no clipboard, no arguing.

Organisers need an account. Players just scan and play.

How a session runs

Three steps, then it looks after itself

From setting up to the last game of the night, the organiser only really does the first step.

STEP 01

Set up the session

Name it, say how many courts you have, pick doubles or singles and a target score. Takes about twenty seconds.

STEP 02

Everyone scans one code

Show the QR code once. Each player types their name, picks a rating, and lands in the queue. No app, no sign-up.

STEP 03

Play — it fills the courts

As a court frees up, the next players go on automatically. Anyone courtside can tap the score in from their own phone.

What it handles

The fiddly parts, done properly

Equal turns, not favourites

The queue sorts by games played and time waiting — never by rating. The person who has sat longest goes on next.

Teams that stay interesting

Of the three ways to split four players, it picks the one that avoids repeat partners and keeps the two sides evenly rated.

One code gets everyone in

Scan the QR or type six characters. Players never make an account, so a group of twenty is checked in before the first warm-up.

Standings that can’t drift

Every result is worked out from the game log, so two phones finishing at once can never leave someone’s record wrong. Undo is one tap.
