Solving the
LINE
JUDGE
Problem?

W
hen you think about running a pickleball
tournament, there are, of course, many
positives. Camaraderie. Competition. Raising
money for your club. Working with friends
toward a common goal. Big fun in the sun.
Check, check, and more checks. Your thinking is
correct – all good!
SOFTWARE
Unfortunately, if you then think about all the
“issues” (e.g. the work, organization, publicity,
sponsors), you are right about all of those too.
Thankfully, over time, people have developed
technology, tools, and processes to address
some of the issues. For example, there have
been struggles running the registration and
tournament desk, but now there is reliable
software to address much of your registration,
sign‑in, bracketing, and scheduling problems.
Many solutions are evolving.
