Why Clubs Are Switching to First Place Brackets
Other platforms are bloated, overpriced, or make you cobble together multiple tools. We built one platform that does it all.
No App Downloads
Players just open a link. Works on every phone, tablet, and computer — no installs, no updates, no friction.
Actually Affordable
Competitors charge $100–$300+/mo for features you'll never use. We keep it simple with plans that fit any club size.
One Dashboard, Everything
Tournaments, leagues, courts, memberships, player communications, and subs — managed from a single screen.
Automated Busywork
Attendance emails, sub notifications, score alerts, court rotations, and seeding — handled automatically so you don't have to.
Live Results for Players
Real-time brackets, standings, and scorecards that players can check on their phones between games.
Built-in Sub System
Players manage their own attendance. When someone can't make it, eligible subs are notified automatically. No group texts needed.
DUPR Match Submission, Built In
Push tournament and league results straight to DUPR — no spreadsheets, no copy/paste, no separate uploader. Submit a single match the moment it ends, every match in a round at once, or every match for the whole event in one click.
- Per-match submit buttons next to every completed match in both tournaments and leagues
- Per-round submission for round robins (works across multi-cycle round robins too)
- Bulk submit, resubmit, and delete — if a score changes, push the update; if you make a mistake, pull it back
- DUPR-only events: automatically enforce DUPR connection for every registered player and partner, plus optional DUPR+ or Verified requirements
- Full audit log of every create, update, and delete — with the DUPR match codes saved on each row
Or submit each match individually
Requires a DUPR club account · CLUB and LEAGUE match sources supported.
Don't Take Our Word for It — Try It Yourself
Our sandbox gives you full access to a real admin dashboard loaded with sample data. Create a tournament, enter scores, check standings — everything works. Nothing you do affects real users.

Everything Your Club Needs — Nothing It Doesn't
Powerful tools designed specifically for pickleball organizations
Tournaments
Single elimination, double elimination, round robin, round robin with playoffs, and 4v4 Team Challenge format. Online registration, partner selection, live brackets, customizable tiebreakers, flexible pool counts you can adjust on the fly, and admin tools to end an event early when the final match doesn't get played.
Ladder Leagues
Automated court rotations, move-up/move-down ladder system, singles and doubles formats, fixed or rotating partners, live standings, printable scoresheets, and per-match DUPR submission as scores are entered.
Court Reservations
Visual calendar scheduling, public and private events, recurring bookings, player self-service reservations with configurable limits, and automated email confirmations.
Pickup Games
A community board where players find each other for casual play. Post who you're looking for — singles, doubles, mixed, a 4v4 Team Challenge, a drilling partner, or open rec — with a venue, date or flexible timing, and a skill range that auto-fills from a connected DUPR rating. Browse and filter by location, skill, and play type; respond with private in-app messaging that only reveals contact info once you're accepted; and get a weekly digest of new games near you. Built-in reporting and blocking keep it safe.
Memberships & Payments
Create membership plans with Stripe billing, control court booking privileges per plan, automatic subscription management, and club directory listings.
DUPR Integration
Run rating-affecting events end to end without ever leaving the platform. Connect your DUPR club, mark a tournament or league as a DUPR event, and submit results — per match, per round, or all at once. The system enforces DUPR connection (and optional DUPR+ or Verified status) on every registering player and partner up front, then pushes scores with full create / update / delete audit logs.
