Run the pickleball, not the spreadsheet.
You set the session once. Hostiz collects the RSVPs, keeps the waitlist honest, checks people in at the gate, and seats every court balanced — so the host gets to play too.

How it works
Three things to set up. Then it runs itself.
01
Make the group, share one link.
Everyone joins from their phone. Nothing to install, no roster to retype, no one asking to be added to the group chat.
02
They RSVP — the list manages itself.
Set the cap and when replies open. The waitlist promotes the moment someone drops out, and a weekly session posts itself every week.
03
Tap Match. Go and play.
Scan people in at the gate, then let the engine seat the courts. You end up on one of them, not on the sideline with a clipboard.
Matchmaking
Nobody plays with the same partner all night.
Every proposal weighs what a good host weighs in their head — level balance, who has already partnered whom, who has sat out longest, and each player’s own preference about mixed and cross-level games. The win balance is on the card before you confirm.
Don’t like it? Shuffle it, edit the four, or seat them yourself. The engine proposes; you always decide.

The card warns you when it had to repeat a pairing or stretch a level gap — it never quietly does it behind your back.

Before the session
The awkward admin, gone.
Capacity and waitlist, reply windows that open and close on schedule, the next nights of a repeating session always posted ahead, and a calendar file so nobody gets to say they forgot.
You stop being the person counting heads in a group chat at 9pm. When someone pulls out, the next person in line is already in — you don’t have to notice.
On the day
Check-in is a QR code on the door.
Put the session’s code up at the gate — on your phone, a tablet, the clubhouse screen. People point their camera at it and they’re in the queue. No list to tick off, no shouting names across four courts.
Someone turns up who isn’t in the group yet? The same code walks them in first, then checks them in.
Scan with the camera app. Nothing to download, nothing to hand round.
They set their own preferences there. Mixed, cross-level — per session, and the matchmaker reads it straight away.
The board calls them up. Live courts and who’s next, on any spare screen.
