Score Tracker
Pickleball score tracker.
Players enter scores from their own phones. Results sync live to the mixer, ratings update as scores arrive, and the next round can mix itself. Players need no signup, and you don’t have to type the scores. Score entry is included free for every account’s first month; after that it is part of Pro, which starts with a 10-day free trial the first time you take it.
// 01 How it works
Four steps to player-entered scores.
-
i.
Organizer mixes a round
Courts and teams are published from the mixer in one tap.
-
ii.
Each player gets their own link
A private link per player, handed out by QR code or email. It opens to their court only: the matchup and a score-entry form.
-
iii.
Players submit
There is no app and no signup. The link is tied to that player and round; a submitted score is confirmed by the other team.
-
iv.
Ratings update, next mix uses them
Elo refreshes the moment scores arrive. With Headless Mode enabled, the next round mixes itself as soon as the last court reports.
// 02 Why self-scoring
Why players enter their own scores.
Usually one organizer collects scores between rounds, types them into a spreadsheet and then mixes the next round, so the organizer doesn't get to play and everyone waits.
When players enter their own scores, every court reports in seconds and the organizer gets to play. With Headless Mode on, the next round mixes itself.

Score tracker questions
Q.01 How do players enter their own scores?
When the organizer publishes a round, each player gets their own private link, handed out by QR code or email. They open it on their phone, see their court, type the final score, and submit. There is nothing to install and no login; it is a form in the browser.
Q.02 Do players need an account to enter scores?
No. Score entry uses a private per-player link tied to the round, so players record results from their phones without ever signing up or paying. The organizer enables score tracking on a Pro plan; players themselves never need an account.
Q.03 What if a player enters the wrong score?
Organizers can edit any score at any time from the dashboard. Ratings recalculate automatically when scores change. Players can also re-submit if the round is still open; the latest entry wins.
Q.04 Does the score tracker update ratings automatically?
Yes. Recorded scores feed an Elo-style rating system. Beat a higher-rated opponent and you gain more points; lose to a lower-rated one and you drop further. Margin of victory matters too: blowouts move ratings more than close games. The next mix uses the updated ratings to balance teams. See the rating-balanced randomizer.
Q.05 Can I see live results during a session?
Yes. Big Screen Mode displays the current round on a TV or projector and updates as scores come in. With Headless Mode enabled, the system also auto-finalizes the round and mixes the next one as soon as every court has reported, with nobody at the screen.
Q.06 Does it work for tournaments and ladder leagues?
Yes. The same self-scoring flow works for casual mixing nights, structured ladder leagues with promotion and relegation, and one-off events. Ladder Elo ratings, decay, and division standings all update from the same player-entered scores. See how ladder leagues work.
Q.07 What does the score tracker cost?
Score tracking is included free for your first month with an account (for up to 19 saved players). After that it is part of the Pro and Club plans, which start with a 10-day free trial the first time you take the plan. There are no per-player fees or ads. The mixer is free for 4–150 players. Players never pay and never create an account.
Q.08 What about privacy? What happens to player data?
Player names and scores are stored against your group only. We don't use third-party tracking, sell data or show ads. Players who only enter scores never create an account at all.
Q.09 Can ladder league players enter their own scores from their phones?
Yes. Each ladder session generates private score-entry links; players submit their court's result from their own phone with no app install and no account. Standings, ratings, and promotion/relegation stats update automatically from those recorded scores.
