Accounts and your data

You don't need an account to mix

The core Mixer is free and works with no sign-up. When you're not logged in, your session is kept in your browser — your players, courts, and current round survive a refresh on the same device. Nothing is sent to an account because there isn't one.

What a free account adds

Creating a free account lets PickleFriend remember things across devices and sessions, and unlocks the organizing tools:

• Saved groups and rosters — keep your regular players instead of retyping them each week.
• Ratings that persist — record scores and let Elo ratings build up over time.
• Scheduling — create events and recurring leagues, invite players, and collect RSVPs.
• Score entry from players' phones — players enter their own scores via a link; results sync live.
• Ladder leagues — multi-division seasons with automatic promotion and relegation.

Players usually don't need an account

If you're a player who got an invite or a score link, you can RSVP and enter scores from the link in your email — no account required. Accounts are mainly for organizers who run the sessions.
