Referee management for small pickleball tournaments
Use your existing registration or bracket software. PickleballOfficials handles the
referees—from recruiting and availability through tournament-day assignments.
Four referees. Six courts.
A local tournament has morning and afternoon work periods, different referee availability,
and no need for a giant tournament platform. It still needs one clear place to see who can
work, who is assigned, who needs a break, and what changed.
One referee workflow
- Recruit: publish the need, review applicants, and invite referees.
- Plan: collect availability, define work time slots, and make assignments.
- Run the day: manage court assignments, queue order, breaks, replacements,
and referee updates from the live board.
- Close out: keep attendance,
agreed compensation, expenses, and external-payment status organized.
Works alongside the tournament tools you already use
PickleballOfficials focuses on the officials. It does not claim to replace player
registration or bracket software and it does not process referee payments.
