Session management

Devlab Pickleball

Run open play from one screen — check-in, queueing, court assignment, live scoring, and a scoreboard your players can watch from their own phones.

Built for the person running the session

Fair queueing

Fewest games played first, longest wait next. The app picks the match and tells you why it picked it.

Rally-by-rally scoring

One tap per rally. Side-out, server number and the official score call are all derived, never typed in.

Live standings

Players ranked by performance index as games finish, each with a confidence tier so you can see how settled a number really is.

Share it live

A QR code puts the live scoreboard on every player’s phone, and on the TV in the hall.

Every match-up explains itself

The queue picks on fewest games played, then longest wait. Once at least five players are eligible, it also tries to break up a pair who just played together — swapping one of them for another player on the same number of games. Each recommendation carries the reasons it was chosen, so you can answer “why them?” without guessing.

Nothing is ever lost

Undo the last rally at any point. Reopen and correct a finished game long after it ended — statistics are recomputed from scratch rather than layered on top of the old ones, and reopening or correcting a game is recorded in the audit log.

Everyone sees the same score

Every rally you record broadcasts live to every connected screen — the scorekeeper’s tablet, your players’ phones, and a TV in the hall. A device that drops off and reconnects is handed the full current state rather than a gap it has to guess at.

Standings from the first minute

The board is populated the moment players check in — nobody has to finish a game to appear on it. Everyone is listed with their win-loss record and point differential, marked when they are on court, and ranked as soon as they have played enough games to qualify.

A session in three moves

1

Open for check-in

Create the session, pick your venue and ruleset, and let players check in.

2

Assign and score

The app proposes the next players. Confirm, start the game, then tap who won each rally.

3

Finish and repeat

Finishing a game frees the court, updates the standings, and requeues the players.

Questions

Do players need an account?

No. Players never sign in — they scan a QR code to watch the live scoreboard. Only the person running the session signs in.

How many courts can I run?

As many as your venue has. Courts are set up once per venue and every session picks them up automatically.

What scoring does it use?

Side-out scoring driven by a ruleset you control — target score and win-by are configurable, not hardcoded to 11.

What happens if I make a scoring mistake?

Undo the last rally straight away, or reopen and correct the game after it has finished. Statistics are recomputed, never patched.

Is OPI an official rating?

No. OPI is a Devlab-original performance index, not a USA Pickleball rating, DUPR, UTR-P or Elo system.
