PBMaestro

PBMaestro is built for community pickleball — the clubs, leagues and player groups that run on volunteer time and a shared spreadsheet. It handles the administration: rosters, registration, brackets, schedules, score entry and standings, all in one place. And it gives every player one skill rating that follows them from club to club. FOR PLAYERS • Find clubs near you, or join instantly from your director's invite link. • Register for an event in a tap — free, club-paid, or paid securely online. • Play different event formats: Ladder, MLP-style team play, Round Robin, and a full Team League season. • One skill rating (1.0–5.5) that follows you across every club you play. • Enter scores from your phone and watch your rating history build. • Beat a stronger pair and gain more. A win never lowers your rating. • Organize your own pickup games without waiting for anyone. FOR TEAM CAPTAINS • Create a team for an MLP or Team League event and recruit with a ready-made invite you can paste anywhere. • Approve who joins, and name a second captain to share the work. • See who's available before you set your lineup, then set it in the app. • Reveal lineups head-to-head — home side first, so nobody counter-picks. • Submit scores for any of your team's games, and print a lineup sheet. FOR CLUB DIRECTORS • Create your club and invite players with a single link — approve members or let them join instantly. • Run Ladder, MLP, Round Robin and Team League events from the same tools. • Open registration, build the schedule, and record scores — ratings update on the spot. • Set a starting rating for each new player; after that the rating engine owns it, so nobody's rating gets edited by hand. • Collect entry fees online with Stripe, or keep your events free. • Share the load: add up to two co-directors, plus an organizer per event. HOW THE RATING WORKS Every doubles game is its own rating event. How much a result moves your rating depends on the score margin and on the gap between the two pairs — beat a much stronger pair and you gain a lot; beat a much weaker one and you gain a little. Losing to a stronger pair costs you less than losing to a weaker one, and a win never lowers your rating. PAYING FOR EVENTS PBMaestro is free to use. Some clubs charge an entry fee for their in-person events. Made for community pickleball. Create your club or join one already created.
