Using PB Play

The "PB Play" app can be used to create random draws among participating players during your pickleball session. An iPad Mini is installed on a tripod beside the water stand. It is not configured with a password so should be accessible at all times. 

Starting PB Play

If the app is not running, tap on the “PB Play” icon on the home screen of the iPad. 

Choose your session

The app has been preloaded with all of the sessions. Tap on the “league” associated with your day of the week and time.

Choose the players

Each “league” has been preloaded with the registered players for that league. If a person is attending, make sure that the green pickleball beside their name is showing. If they are not attending, there should not be a green pickleball. The first person to arrive may want to tap the pickleball at the top which clears all attendees and have people add themselves in as they arrive. 

Specify the number of courts.

Once all of the attendees are confirmed, tap on the “Continue” button. Change to “4” courts (or the number of courts you are using for this session) and tap on “Continue”. 

Gameplay

A randomized lineup for your first game is shown, including spares.

Court 1 is the court closest to the glass/lounge. Court 4 is the court furthest from the glass/lounge

Second and subsequent games

When a game is complete, tap on the green ball to create the new lineup for the next game. Use the “Adjust” button if you need to adjust the players. 

When all games are completed, tap on the “Done” button to return to the “League” screen.
