Pickleball Rotator: Plan fair club sessions
Put down the whiteboard.
Build fair rotations, plan the whole night and print the rota before anyone arrives. During play, every round stays clear enough to read at arm's length in a bright sports hall.
"Absolutely love this app. It's made playing the game so much easier."
The app
Fair rotations in seconds.
A focused tool for organisers, captains and club nights. Version 7.0 keeps the whole evening fair, clear and ready to share.
Set up the whole night
Add players, choose your courts and switch on the Pro planning tools you need.
Every round stays readable
Large results show courts and sit-outs clearly. Use the arrows to revisit an earlier round and settle who played in round two.
Your regulars, ready to go
Pick saved players in seconds. If the app closes mid evening, Session Resume offers the full session back with every count intact.
How it works
Three steps. Thirty seconds.
01
Add your players
Type in names, any number from 4 upwards. Save regulars to your roster for next time.
02
Set your courts
Choose how many courts you're playing on. The app figures out who sits out and when.
03
Play
Pickleball Rotator assigns partners, handles sit-outs and generates a shareable PDF in seconds. Move back through earlier rounds whenever you need to check a pairing.
Pro · Skill Balancing
Rate players 1 to 5. Get a fair fight on every court.
Rate each player once in your roster. Skill Balancing uses those ratings to build evenly matched teams, then remembers them for every session.
50
arrangements checked every round
Pro · Smart Balancing
Fewer repeat partners. More varied games.
Smart Balancing tries 50 arrangements every round and picks the one with the fewest repeat partners and opponents, so the same combinations do not follow you all night.
ALL
rounds planned and ready to print
Pro · Plan Full Session
Print the whole night before anyone arrives.
Build every round upfront, then share or print the entire rota as a multi page PDF. Players can see where they are all night, ready to pin to the clubhouse wall.
Mid-session edits
Late arrival? No problem.
Add players, remove no-shows, or change the court count mid-session. Changes apply from the next round so the current court stays exactly as it was.
Pro · Session History
Every session, archived.
Every session and every round is saved automatically on your device. Look back through last week's club night and see who played with whom.
Accessibility
Clear across the court.
Version 7.0 fully supports iOS Larger Text, Reduce Motion and VoiceOver. The results screen uses a large round number, colour coded courts and high contrast, so it stays readable at arm's length in a bright sports hall.
Haptic feedback confirms each new round, with an optional sound effects switch when you want an extra cue.
