Can the mixer handle 64-player or 100-player sessions?

Yes — up to 150 players. PickleMixer has been used for 100+ player tournaments and 60+ player open-play nights. Add courts, add players, hit Mix.

Can I keep partners fixed for some teams and rotate others?

Yes. Use the link icon next to a player to link them with another player as a fixed pair. Linked pairs stay together every round; unlinked players rotate freely. You can mix linked pairs and unlinked players in the same session.

How does sit-out fairness work at scale?

The mixer tracks how many times each player has sat across the whole session and prioritises the most-sat players to come back in next round. With 50+ players and 8–10 courts, that bookkeeping is the difference between a fair night and someone sitting four rounds in a row — and it's impossible to track by hand.

Are there printable large-group schedules?

Yes — PickleMixer's built-in print function generates a printable schedule for any group size up to 150 players. Open the live mixer, set up your players and courts, then use the print button to produce a multi-round PDF for your event.

Large-Group Pickleball Round Robins (37+ Players)

Round-robin schedules for tournaments, leagues, and large open-play sessions. A printed sheet falls apart at this scale — the live mixer handles 40, 48, 64, 100+ players and adjusts every round for drop-outs, late arrivals, and rating splits.

Why static schedules don't work for large groups

Pre-built rotations are great for groups up to about 36 players or 18 teams. Beyond that, three things break:

Round counts explode. A 64-player full round-robin needs 21+ rounds. Nobody runs 21 rounds at a weeknight social.
Sit-outs become a logistics problem. With 48 players on 8 courts, 16 sit each round. Tracking who has sat the most by hand is a full-time job.
Drop-outs and late arrivals break a printed schedule. A 24-team round robin sees one or two teams pull out, or a couple more show up. Every remaining round on the printed page is suddenly wrong.

The live mixer scales to whatever you need

Enter your players, set your courts, hit Mix. PickleMixer generates an optimised schedule in seconds — for any group size, any court count, with optional rating balance, mixed doubles, fixed partners, and ladder-league mode.

Common large-group formats

32–48 player open play — 8–12 courts, rotating partners every round, fair sit-out tracking.
Ladder leagues (any size) — multi-week schedules with weekly Elo updates, automatic re-seeding, and divisional play. See ladder leagues →
Mixed-doubles sessions — gender balance enforced on every court while rotating partners or keeping linked pairs.
Skill-divided open play — split a 60-player group into rating tiers, run independent round-robins per tier, all from the same device.

Smaller group? Use a pre-built schedule

For 5–36 players or 4–18 teams, we have free downloadable schedules with PDF and Excel files. Every pairing is laid out in advance, every quality metric visible.
