Fresh out of the latest releases.

The newest additions to Picklerlobby, live for every club today. Here's what just landed on court.

New

Picklerlobby Premium

Skip the day-of setup. Premium lets you schedule open plays in advance, courts, mode, and player cap locked in with RSVPs, so the session is ready to start the moment players arrive. Collect court fees up front over GCash too: the full fee lands with you, only a small per-player platform fee runs on your subscription. Everyday open play stays free.

  • Sign in with Google

    New

    One tap to sign in or sign up with Google. New accounts get a quick setup to pick a username and start their profile.

  • Self-serve account recovery

    New

    Reset a forgotten password with an emailed code, or recover the email and username you signed up with. Update your email or password anytime from Account settings.

  • Player profiles

    New

    Players carry a permanent record. Their wins, losses, and matches follow them across every open play they join.

  • Scan-to-check-in

    New

    Post the session code at the door and players scan to check themselves in, slotting into the queue without reshuffling the next match.

  • Substitute & shuffle players

    New

    Swap a player into a live match without ending the game, or shuffle partners on a court with one tap. Preview before you confirm.

Who it's for

One product, three perspectives.

Clubs get durable history and branding. Organizers get calm tooling. Players get a live window into what's happening on every court.

Courts & clubs

Spin up branded open play, keep durable session history on your club, and share a public club page players can browse anytime.

Organizers on the day

One thumb-friendly dashboard runs courts, fair queues, optional voice callouts, and a share link, with no clipboard acrobatics.

Live court updates

Follow courts and standings live on any phone. No install needed, just the viewer link while you wait for the next match.

What you get today

Built for the organizer with a phone in their hand.

Everything you can use during open play and in club mode: live courts and fair queues on the manage screen, call-outs and sharing for the room, then saved history and sign-in once you're off the court.

  • Live courts dashboard

    Every court, queue spot, and result updates in real time over WebSockets. The hot path is Redis-first, so the UI stays snappy even on phones.

  • Four matchmaking modes

    Balanced, All Random, Rated Match, or Court Kings. Pick the vibe you want. Switch in setup and the next match obeys.

  • Fair queue, by default

    The scheduler always prefers players with the fewest games and the longest wait, then leans on the mode for the rest. Repeat matchups are avoided when better options exist.

  • Voice announcements

    “Court 1: Alice and Bob versus Charlie and Dana.” The next match is read out loud on the organizer device, toggleable per device.

  • Public viewer link

    Share /open-play/s/<slug> with anyone in the room. They get a live, read-only view of courts, queue, and standings on their own screen.

  • Anonymous or club mode

    Start a session in seconds, no signup. End it and discard, or save the whole thing into a brand new club without losing a match.

  • Club dashboard & history

    Saved sessions roll up into your club dashboard with totals, weekly activity, top players, and a public profile page anyone can browse.

  • One login, three identifiers

    Sign in with your username, email, or club slug. Your password resolves the right account, which is great for clubs that hand out a /club/<slug> URL as the login.

  • Player profiles

    Add players with a profile and their wins, losses, and matches stay on a permanent record across every session they join.

  • Scan-to-check-in

    Post the session code at the door and players check themselves in by scanning. Self check-ins slot into the queue without reshuffling the next match.

  • Substitute & shuffle

    Swap a player into a live match without ending the game, or shuffle partners on a court with one tap. Preview the change before you confirm.

How it works

Three small steps. No setup tax.

  1. 01

    Create

    Pick courts, game type, mode, and drop in players. Names can be typed, pasted as a list, or searched. Duplicates are flagged automatically.

  2. 02

    Manage

    Start the next match on any open court with one tap. Record winners, check players in or out, edit rosters mid-session.

  3. 03

    Save (optional)

    Finish and discard, or save the session into a club account. Logged-in clubs auto-keep history and unlock the dashboard, leaderboards, and a public profile.

FAQ

Quick answers from the sideline.

Straight talk on accounts, pricing, and links, with no burying the lede.

Do participants need accounts?

No. Organizers add names to the roster and anyone can open the public viewer link. Accounts matter when you want club-owned history, dashboards, and saved sessions.

Is Picklerlobby really free?

Running open play is free: unlimited sessions, courts, and checked-in players, with live courts, fair queues, voice call-outs, the public viewer link, and club history all included. Premium is optional, only for organizers who publish scheduled open plays and collect court fees.

What's included in Premium?

Premium unlocks scheduled open plays: set up the courts, mode, player cap, and start time once, ahead of time, and the session is ready to launch when players arrive, no day-of setup. Members RSVP in advance, and you can collect court fees up front over GCash. The full fee goes straight to the organizer; only a small per-player platform fee runs on the subscription. Everyday open play stays free.

What is anonymous vs club mode?

Anonymous mode spins up a live room instantly and you can discard it when you are done. Club mode attaches sessions to your Picklerlobby club so history and dashboards stay organized.

How does the public viewer link work?

Every session gets a slug URL. Share it in your group chat. Spectators see courts, queue, and standings update live while organizers keep control on the manage screen.

Which devices does it support?

Modern mobile browsers first. Organizers usually run the session from a phone. Viewers can follow along on phones, tablets, or laptops.
