Open play
Every court on one screen.
Organizers see who's on, who's next and how long each game has left. One tap scores it, and the next four are already called.
Fair games, all night
The queue picks who plays next so everyone gets their turn, mixes in fresh partners and keeps levels close.
Timers that keep it moving
Every court counts down its game and warns you before time is up. Pause, reset or stop in one tap.
One tap to score
Tap the winning team and the court is ready; the next four are already called to it.
For players
Open play where the queue runs itself.
Check in and play. Fair rotations, fresh partners, and nobody arguing about who's next. Your phone tells you when you're up.
- See every court, who is on and your place in line
- Get told the moment you are called to a court
- Take a rest and rejoin the line with one tap
- Ask for a ranked game with players at your level
Share Screen
Put the queue on the big screen.
Open Share Screen, type the code into any TV's browser, and the whole club sees who is on, who is next and the waiting order. It fills the screen on its own, even on older smart TVs, and players scan the QR to join.
Works offline
Keeps running when the Wi‑Fi doesn't.
Gym basement, park with one bar of signal: when the connection drops, Paddler switches to offline mode by itself. Keep seating games and recording scores, and everything syncs the moment you are back online.
- No setup and no download first
- Every queued change is kept on the device
- Syncs on its own and matches the online queue exactly
Ranked play
Ranked, and every player has a say.
Every player can approve or deny the score until the session ends. One Deny throws it out. No Deny, and it counts.
Every player signs off
All four can approve or deny a ranked score until the session ends. One Deny and it does not count.
Ranks and seasons
Climb from Bronze to Diamond, level up each season and collect badges along the way.
Leaderboards
See where you stand in your club and beyond, for singles and doubles.
Tournaments
Tournament brackets without the whiteboard.
Divisions, seeding, and a live schedule on tournament day. Players get told where to be and when.
- Divisions by format, gender and level
- Players sign up with a partner; you approve the teams
