Pickleball Tournament Software for Clubs and Event Weekends
Pickleball tournament software is the system a club uses to take entries, seed players, and run brackets. Waresport handles registration, DUPR-informed seeding, pools, court assignments, score entry, and live standings. Payments, waivers, and parent updates stay on the member record used for club play. Plans start at $69.99 a month, and clubs go live in 24 hours.
Registration before the first match
Players enter themselves, pick an event, and pay in the same flow the club already uses for memberships. Waivers and family details stay on the member record, so the desk is not retyping a roster the morning of the event.
- Self-service registration for single-day and multi-day events.
- Entry fees collected with the same payments tools as dues.
- Waivers and player details attached to the existing member profile.
DUPR seeding and pools
Waresport is a DUPR partner. Rating sync and DUPR-informed seeding feed the draw, and eligible score updates can move back to the player profile after the event. Directors spend less time copying ratings into a spreadsheet.
- DUPR-informed seeding for the draw.
- Pools alongside brackets when the event uses both.
- Eligible league or tournament scores written back to the member profile.
Brackets, courts, and live scores
Court assignments, score entry, and live standings stay in one place as the club shifts from open play into tournament mode. A court change does not mean a new group text.
- Brackets with court assignments on the same calendar as club play.
- Courtside score entry and live standings.
- Progression across single-day and multi-day events.
Parents, payments, and the shop
Families follow brackets, court changes, and announcements in the iOS and Android parent app. Entry fees run through payment processing at 3.4% + $0.30 per transaction. The shop can sell merch and concessions with the event.
- Schedules, scores, and messages in the parent app.
- Payment processing at 3.4% + $0.30 per transaction.
- Shop items, including merch and concessions, on the same system.
The weekend after the last match
Results, ratings, and who paid stay on the player record the club uses on Monday. Attendance and a simple event report are available without rebuilding the draw in another tool.
- Results stay with the member, not in a one-off file.
- Attendance and reporting for the event.
- Communication for court changes from the same account.
