Score entry guide

How to use PickleDeck to enter scores

1Getting to score entry

Scan the QR code

Use your phone's camera to scan the QR code shown near the court or given to you by the organiser.

The link will open automatically in your browser.

Use a direct link

The organiser can send you a link by text message or email. Just tap it to get to score entry.

Enter a PIN

A 4-digit code is asked for when the link opens. Enter it to get to score entry.

Once the code is entered, you stay signed in all day: no need to enter it again between matches.

2Entering a score

  1. 1

    Start the match

    Tap the “Start the match” button to start the timer. This tracks how long the match lasts.

  2. 2

    Enter the score of each game

    For each game, you can either type the score directly on the keyboard (e.g. 11), or use the + and − buttons.

    The number of games and the rules (points to win, required margin) depend on the tournament and the stage. The screen only shows the right number of games: no need to count them.

  3. 3

    Send the score

    Tap “Submit score” to save it. The winner is worked out automatically.

  4. Match over!

    The score is saved and the tournament moves forward automatically.

3Special cases

Walkover

If a team doesn't turn up or retires, use the “Walkover” button (from the match view) and select the team concerned.

If it was a mistake, a walkover can be cancelled as long as the next match hasn't started. Otherwise, contact the organiser.

Disagreement over the score

If a score entered by the players is disputed, the organiser (or an authorised referee) decides from the scores screen.

Wait for confirmation before leaving the court.

Contact the organiser

If there's a technical problem or something unexpected, contact the organiser directly.

Their contact details are shown on the tournament page.
