Your players line up.KitchenSync runs the courts.
Take the queue, the pairings and the scores off your clipboard. Everyone gets a fair turn, the TV shows what’s next, and you stay in the room with your players.
Players never pay. 2 courts, 16 players free — then ₱49 per session.
Court 3 — openCourt 4 — open- Name the session, set the courts, share one code.
- The queue builds the next group while you take the next check-in.
- Scores, standings and the TV board look after themselves.
- Join with the 6-character code, or scan what’s on the wall.
- See your place in the queue and roughly how long you’ll wait.
- Your games, partners and ranking stay on your profile.
Three steps to a full session
No training, no spreadsheet, no setup call. Most managers are live before the first player arrives.
Give it a name, say how many courts you have, pick how you want people paired. That’s the whole setup.
Takes about a minute.
They use your session code, scan the sheet on the wall, or show their own QR at the desk. Nobody waits in a line at a desk.
Works on any phone.
Tap who’s next, drop them on a court, type the score. The board on the TV updates itself, and the players can see their own turn coming.
You stay off the whiteboard.
Everything a session needs
From the first check-in to the last game — and nothing you have to learn first.
One dashboard for the whole club day
Where you were, what's running, what's left. Start the next session from the same screen you finished the last one on.
- Sessions and history in one searchable list
- A live banner that drops you straight back into the session you’re running
- Decide courts, pairing and game target when you create it — not mid-session
- Credits per session, so a quiet month costs you a quiet month
KitchenSyncA queue nobody argues with
Waiting is the only thing that decides who plays next, so the person who has been sitting longest gets picked first. Skill and gender are balanced inside the group, not used to cut the line.
- Longest wait first, shown to everyone
- Balanced teams — skill and gender spread, automatically
- Groups stay sensible: a beginner isn't paired with an advanced player just to even up the totals
- Your wait cap holds: past it a player is owed a court in the next round, and the board says so
- One tap to assign, substitute and score; drag to swap courts or slots
Court 2 — AvailablePut the board on any screen
Open the display link on the venue TV and it stays live all session — courts, scores and what's next, no refresh, no fiddling.
- One display link per session
- Updates the moment a game ends
- A next-up ticker keeps the queue moving on its own
- Your club name and logo in the header
Court 3 — openCourt 4 — openJoin with a code or a scan, then just play
Players join with a 6-character code, show their QR at the desk, or scan the check-in sheet on the wall. After that they only watch their own turn come closer.
- Three ways in: code, player QR, or the venue sheet
- Live place in the queue and an honest wait time
- Games, partners and ranking on their own profile
or show your QR at the deskRun a bracket without a spreadsheet
The same board runs competitions. Make a category per event, pick a format, and the schedule, the live courts, the standings and a shareable bracket all come out of it.
- Round robin, single and double elimination, ladder, pools into a knockout
- A waiting list that keeps players rested and every court busy
- A watch link, so people on the sideline see what you see
- One credit covers a tournament too, at ₱149
Works however you work it
The desk laptop, the manager's iPad, a player's phone in a humid room — the same board, operable by touch, mouse or keyboard.
- Light and dark themes, both tested for contrast
- Big enough to tap on a phone
- Keyboard focus is visible, and screen readers get labels on the handles and banners
- Installable, and the queue keeps working when the Wi-Fi drops

We tested the queue before we shipped it
Every grouping on the board comes from the same algorithm we ran through a full simulated session — 48 players, 4 courts, 4 hours, with late arrivals, people resting out, no-shows and fixed groups thrown in to make it awkward on purpose.
Everyone got on a court in every queueing mode we tested, at every room size.
Busiest player about 9 games, quietest about 3 or 4 — out of roughly 6.4 each in 4 hours.
Difference in average games played, men vs. women — 5.2% and 6.1% in the two modes.
Share of your groupmates you already played last game — the rest are new faces. Holding the wait cap in a busy room costs some of this rotation; the methodology page quotes both sides.
The honest cost: enforcing the wait cap buys the wait, not the variety. A traded seat is somebody else’s turn, so in a busy room games with a wide partner gap go 0.0% → 15.0% and repeat groupmates 9.0% → 21.1%. Nothing structural gives way — no court idles and nobody is stranded, because the seat changes hands inside the same game. Both sides are in the full data.
How we tested it
- 48 simulated players, spread across all four rating tiers, from Beginner to Advanced
- 4 courts, 4 players a court (doubles), a 4-hour session
- Games of 10–15 minutes; players arriving over the first 15 minutes, plus 6 late check-ins up to 75 minutes in
- Fixed groups — duos, a trio and a full four — play together but queue in wait order
- A manager who breaks a fixed group the first time it goes incomplete, freeing its members to queue alone
- Resting players who opt out between games, and no-shows who get picked then go unavailable
- Occasional hand-picked groups, the way a manager really edits one
- Every metric averaged over 5 independent seeded runs
- Two gap-based modes compared here: Mixed (±1.5 skill gap) and Skill-matched (±0.5, widening when nothing fits)
- A wait cap of 20 minutes by default — past it a player is traded into the next playable group, so the wait is enforced rather than preferred
- Groups judged by the partnerships they actually produce, not just by total rating
- A variety bench: the pair that just lost sits out the next round while fresh players can still field courts

Built in the open
Every change ships with the numbers behind it — before-and-after results from the same simulation setup where the queue is involved, and the full reasoning where it isn’t.
- Feedback has one button now. The sidebar used to offer “Send feedback” and the bar above it offered the same form again beside your name, on one screen. It stays in the top bar — which is where the live session board keeps it too — so there is one place to look for it on every screen, and it is reachable without opening the menu on a phone.
- Nothing about sending it changed. Same form as before, and the guide and sign-out still sit where they did in the sidebar. Players lose the duplicate as well, since their dashboard wears the same menu as yours.
