Pickleball Tournament Bracket

Pickleball events usually run in one of two ways. Round robin, often in pools, so every player gets several matches. Or double elimination, so one loss does not end the day.

Larger events combine them: pool play first, then the top finishers from each pool into a single elimination bracket. Make each pool as its own round robin and seed the bracket from the tables.

This page opens with 8 teams, double elimination. Change either on the left.

Games are normally played to 11, win by 2; tournaments often play to 15 or 21, or best two of three. Enter the game score, or for a best-of-three enter games won (2 to 1) so the right side advances.

1. 1Courts are the limit. Four courts play four matches at a time; the format guide shows how many time slots each format needs.
2. 2With a pass, the scorers' link lets the player who wins report the score from the court on their own phone.
3. 3Split by skill level before you draw: a bracket per level is fairer than one mixed bracket.
