How a social doubles session runs
Three steps each round, and no clipboard. It works the same whether you run social pickleball, a badminton club night or a tennis round robin.
Check players in
Tick players in as they arrive, or add newcomers on the spot. Courts switch on to match the number of players, and anyone extra goes to the Bench Pool.
Run the allocation
Pick your options, then click ⚡ Run Allocation. Players who sat out last round are prioritised, and you can drag anyone to a different court.
Play, then repeat
Start the round timer, or pop it out onto a second screen for the players. When it sounds, run the next round. Save the session at the end.
Player rotation features for club organisers
Fair rotation
Bench players are prioritised for the next round. Anyone who misses two rounds in a row flashes red with a Double Bye warning, so you can fix it straight away.
Mix players your way
Balance team ratings, force mixed or gender doubles, group players by skill tier, or pair strong players with newer ones. Lock in fixed partners alongside any of these.
Your own skill levels
Set up to 8 levels with your own names, rating ranges and colours. Colour-code the court board by level or by gender for a quick read.
Who's played with who
Hover over a name to see who they've already played with, or open the full panel to see who they haven't met yet.
Round history
A matrix shows every player, every round and the court they were on, with a running count of rounds missed. Export the full log as a spreadsheet.
Timer for the players
A 15-minute countdown with your own alarm sound. Pop it out into its own window and drag it onto a second screen the players can see.
Leaving early reminders
Note when a player needs to leave and DoublesMatch reminds you a few minutes beforehand, with a one-click Switch Out.
Several venues, one app
Keep separate player pools and round histories for each club or night. Back everything up as CSV files and import your DoublesMatch2 players.
Mistakes are easy to fix
Drag and drop players between courts and the bench, undo the last round, and get a warning if Run Allocation is clicked twice by accident.

Do I need an internet connection at the courts?
No. Install DoublesMatch3 Web as an app and it runs without a connection. You only need to be online once, when you enter your key. DoublesMatch2 for Windows never needs a connection.
How do I install DoublesMatch3 Web as an app?

The Windows version is too small on my screen. How do I make it bigger?
You can change your screen resolution and scaling in Windows Display Settings. The About menu in DoublesMatch lists suitable resolutions. Or use Windows Magnifier:
- Press the Windows key and + to open Magnifier.
- Click the settings wheel on the right of Magnifier.
- Click Go to Settings.
- Set the zoom increment to 10%, or whatever suits you.
You can then zoom in and out with the Windows key and + or −.
The Windows version doesn't fit on my screen. How do I fix it?
The window is designed for 1472 × 805 pixels. At 1366 × 768 a small but important part runs off the side and bottom of the screen. 1440 × 900 just fits, and 1600 × 900 is the lowest standard resolution that shows the whole window.
Check your resolution in Windows Display Settings.
