The live pickleball tournament platform

Run it. Play it. Watch it. Broadcast it.

PickleBoard is the all-in-one platform for live pickleball tournaments — real-time scoring, automated brackets, a smart cross-court scheduler, broadcast-ready overlays and public player views. One place to run the event, follow every match and put it on screen.
