DinkPro: free pickleball open play, tournament and ranking app
Every Court. Every Player. Perfectly Managed.
The Command Center for Open Play, Engineered as a System. Matchmaking, live scores, fair rotations, and instant standings - DinkPro runs the whole pickleball open-play session so you don't have to.
DinkPro is a free pickleball open play app for organizers, clubs and rec centers: one host device runs check-in, the shared queue, fair court rotation across up to 12 courts, scores and standings, with no account and no internet needed.
DinkPro Ranked: your court, your rank, your legacy
DinkPro Ranked is a free, optional ranked mode for doubles pickleball open play. Players sign in with an email code, check in at a host's session by scanning a QR code, and every ranked game updates their DinkPro Player Rating (DPR), which starts at 1.50 for everyone, is earned through results and follows them from session to session. The rating places each player on a 21-rank ladder from Rookie to Predator, XP and levels reward every game played, and the best players are listed on DinkPro's Top 100 ladder. How DPR, the ranks and the Top 100 work.

Common questions
What is DinkPro?
DinkPro is a free, browser-based app for running pickleball open play and tournaments. It handles court rotation, player queueing, matchmaking, live scoring and standings for open play, runs single or double elimination brackets with an optional round-robin group stage, puts the courts and queue on a TV, and offers an optional Ranked mode with a player rating (DPR). No login to host, and it works offline.
Do players or organizers need to create an account?
No login to run open play; optional Ranked accounts. An organizer types a name and starts the session, and players can self check-in by scanning a QR code with their own name. Only players who want a permanent DPR rating in Ranked games sign in, with a free email code.
Does DinkPro work without internet access?
Yes. The core app is offline-first - court rotation, matchmaking, scoring, and standings all run entirely on the organizer's device with no network connection required. Two optional features use a network when one is available - "Go Live" broadcasts a read-only spectator view to players' phones, and the Rotation Advisor sends the session's anonymized numbers (never player names) for a second opinion on your rotation - and the session runs fine without either.
How does DinkPro decide who plays next?
DinkPro offers ten matchmaking modes (Ranked, Auto-Balanced, Skill, Winners Court, Mixed, Skill Courts, Ladder (King / Queen court), Clutch timed games, the Level-Up rating engine, and Fixed Pair), each scoring candidates on fairness (games played), variety (avoiding repeat partners/opponents), and mode-specific rules, then seating the best-scoring group automatically as courts open. Fixed Pair is the exception to the per-player scoring: there the two players you pair stay together all session and the rotation seats whole teams, banding them by games played so no team plays twice while another waits, and a silent bracket pairs last-game winners with winners and losers with losers, so a comeback win promotes a new challenger.
