• The sign-in page now says what KaPickle does. Under the form: a court with a rally playing on it and a demo scoreboard calling the score, six cards on what the app does, the three steps to start, and a button to make an account. Send the address to anyone you want to bring in; it reads without signing in.
• The email boxes fold away under "or use your email" so the court is the first thing under the Google button. A phone that signed in by email before gets them open on the next visit.
• What KaPickle does is also a page of its own now, in the menu next to How it works and in the footer of every help page, so you can send that one link to anyone you want to bring in. The help links sit at the bottom of the sign-in page too.
• Links show a picture. Shared in Viber, Messenger or a post, the app's address and the What KaPickle does page now come with a picture of the court and the tagline. Share the new address, the old one gives no picture.
• Book the next one. A session can carry its booking page (Reclub, Sports360, any web address), on the setup form or in the session's Settings. The session card, the wall and the copied summary then say "Book the next one" with that link.
• For the admin: share a link ending in ?from=reclub (or fb, qr, sports360) and Who uses KaPickle counts the visits per source.
• On the TV. In full screen the wall ends with a thin strip: Powered by KaPickle, the address, a QR that opens this live view on a phone, and the booking link when the session has one.
• No score? Tap who won. Both Final score sheets now start with a button per team. A game recorded that way is listed as WON and counts one point of difference. Standings also show the win rate.
• On the What KaPickle does page, Create a free account is put away when you are already signed in.

5 October 2026

• A new address. KaPickle now lives at kapickle.tambayanhub.com. The old kapickle.pages.dev address forwards there, links and codes included. If you installed the app from the old address, install it again from the new one.
• Opened from a shared link without an account, the menu now offers only Sign in and the help pages, instead of Profile, Sign out and Ask to run sessions, which all needed an account.
• The queue on the big screen. The wall now shows who is next on a free court, then who is after that, in groups of four in the order the courts will take them, the same as the phone's Up next tab. In TV mode the first two groups show and the rest is a count.
• The full screen button now shows the right icon everywhere: it says "leave" only when the app really is in full screen. A phone whose browser merely fills the screen no longer gets the television layout on a leaderboard or a tournament.
• Find a name. A search box above the check-in list, the session's People tab and the group's Players tab narrows the list as you type; Select all and Clear then apply to the names shown. Once a session is running with Auto-save on, the bottom button on the check-in screen is put away, since every tap is already saved.
• Everyone plays six first. A new session setting, "Everyone plays this many games before anyone plays more": courts are filled from the players still under the number, and players at the number only make up a four when fewer than four are free. The Courts tab says how many are still under it; the session's Settings can change it mid-night.
• Leaderboard tie-breaks. A month's board now ranks by wins, then points difference, then points scored, then head to head between the players still level, and marks anyone still level after that as "draw needed" for the organizer to draw lots in the open. All-time uses points scored as its third key.
• Small fixes from a review. A court still showing its last result can no longer be given a game under it; voiding an old game leaves a busy court alone; a matchup with every game voided no longer counts as a draw; skill ratings stay members only on a shared tournament; Back always returns where you came from; the tournament table scrolls on a TV even after a leaderboard was opened; the line under a leaderboard or tournament never wraps and says its dates once.
• Team tournaments. Under the group's new Teams tab an organizer makes a tournament, its teams (two or more players each, with a colour) and matchups: Blue v Red on a match day. A match day is an ordinary session; the organizer adds each game of the matchup to a free court, picking one or two players from each team, and it is scored on the scoreboard like any other. The team with more games wins the matchup, a matchup can be a draw, and the table counts points per matchup (2 for a win and 1 for a draw by default), then games difference. Shared by link and full screen on a TV like the leaderboards. A match day says so on its Courts tab, with its matchups and a way across to the tournament, and wears a MATCH DAY tag in the sessions list.
• A leaderboard for the month. The group's All-time tab is now Leaderboards: All-time is the first entry, and under it an organizer can make a board over any dates: which nights count (Wednesdays and Fridays, say), how many of a player's games a night count (the first 7, by default), the minimum games to qualify, and whether the score is the best single night or everything added up. Ranked by wins, then points for minus points against; players still level share the place. Share the link and anyone can open it without an account. All-time has a link of its own, and any leaderboard goes full screen on a TV with the rows scrolling by themselves.
• The final point waits for you. When a game ends on the scoreboard the result stays up: FINAL, the score and who won, with a NEXT GAME button to move on and Undo if the last point was a mistake. The next four are lined up only when you press it, or by themselves after three minutes so a forgotten phone cannot hold the court. The Courts tab and the big screen show FINAL on that court meanwhile. Typing a final score still moves on at once.
• Auto-save on check-in. Tick a name and it is saved there and then; untick somebody who has gone home and they are out. No Save button to remember. The switch at the top of the list turns it off if you would rather tick first and save once.
• Every court has its own colour. Court 1 is lime, 2 sky blue, 3 orange, 4 purple and so on, shown as a chip wherever a court is named: the Courts tab, Up next, the scoreboard, the big screen and the menu. Borders still mean playing or ready.
• Faster at the court. The session screen now fetches everything in one go instead of six requests in a row every time a point lands anywhere, and it only listens to its own session. Your own taps no longer repaint twice. The app's library is served from kapickle itself, so first load has one origin fewer to wait on.
• The portrait scoreboard fits every phone again: the digits take the room that is left, so POINT, SIDE OUT, Undo and More never slip below the screen edge.
• DEUCE and GAME POINT now show under the call on the scoreboard, beside the score on the Courts tab and on the big screen: deuce when win by 2 is on and both sides are level at 10 or more, game point when the serving side's next point ends the game.
• Wrong server? On the scoreboard, tap a player's box on the court drawing and the ball is theirs. Undo takes it back like any other tap, and the score never changes. Same team, the partner takes the ball; the other team, that side serves as first server (at the very start the opening rule keeps it at -2).
• The Courts tab shows who is serving on a live game: the pickleball sits in the server's box and the receiver's box is dashed, moving as the game goes. Up next draws each waiting game on its court too, in the court's colour. Change players still works: the boxes are the buttons while you are swapping.
• The court drawing itself now wears its court's colour, and a pickleball sits in the serving box, on the Courts tab, the scoreboard and the big screen.
• Phone held sideways: the scoreboard now keeps the court drawing and its swap arrows beside the score instead of dropping them. The serving box also pulses whenever it moves, so a server switching boxes after a point is seen, not only true.
• The rule is on the board. "to 11, win by 2" sits under the team names on the scoreboard and on every big-screen tile, so nobody finds out at 11-10 what the setting was. The organizer can now change Play to and Win by 2 from the session settings while the session runs; games waiting and in play pick it up, finished games keep the rule they were played under.
• A new session always starts from the defaults (to 11, win by 2 on). The form used to keep whatever the previous session was given.
• Type score is now a button under the scoreboard, beside Undo and More, instead of a line inside More.
• Before a session starts, unticking somebody who was already checked in now takes them out; it used to do nothing.

21 September 2026

• Invite an organizer, on Who uses KaPickle, gives an admin a six-letter code and a QR to hand over. Whoever enters or scans it names their group and owns it from that moment. No more making the group yourself and handing it across.
• The code works once and expires in 30 days. An unused one can be withdrawn. The admin sees who used which code and what they made.
• Enter a code on Home now understands three things: a session code, a group code, and an invite. You do not have to know which one you were handed.
• Each court on the big screen is now drawn as a court: two boxes a side, the kitchen between, every player's name in the box they are standing in, the serving box lit with the ball and the receiving box dashed, the same picture the scorer sees. The two big numbers sit over the end each team is playing from.
• TV mode. Put the live link in full screen (the button, or F11) and everything fits the screen with nothing to scroll: the bar hides, the courts take one side and the standings a panel on the other (under them on a phone upright), and standings that do not fit crawl slowly down and start again. When the courts would be too small to read, the wall shows one court at a time and turns every few seconds. A touch brings the bar back for a moment.
• The big screen (the live link) has been re-cut. Names sit above the numbers in white, the ball marks who is serving, the call and the game point sit between the scores, and the type is sized off the court tile, so one court is a real board and four across still read from the far side. A tile is never taller than the screen, and the courts and the table share one width.
• On the scoreboard, the swap arrows are now on the court drawing: between a pair's two boxes to swap them, and on the net to change ends. One tap, no menu. Only the person scoring sees them.
• An admin who makes a group is no longer put on its roster. You made it for somebody else; you still see it, you just do not show up on its check-in list. If you do play there, join it with its code like anyone.
• On a person's sheet, turning the organizer switch off only hands a group back; they stay a member. Their row now says member of N, runs M so the two are not confused, and there is a Remove beside the switch to take them out of a group altogether. Games they played stay in the record.
• Keeping a name off the public board, from the last update, now also appears on the admin screen and the player sheet.

21 September 2026

• One button per court. A card had four, which is twelve on a three court screen, and typing a score in sat at the same weight as starting the game. Now there is one button, and the line underneath opens everything else: type the score in, take the court, hand it back, or change who scores it.
• That line reads as a sentence at last. It used to say "Scored by Bolero" over "is in this game when it starts", and on court 1 it said "due on court 2", which sounded like the court was.
• Games now says when. Each result carries the time it finished, and results are grouped under the day they were played, so a session that runs past midnight still reads correctly.
• And it counts in English: "1 game", not "1 games".

21 September 2026

• Change players now has its own button on each waiting game. Press it and the names become tappable: tap two to swap them, and anybody in the queue counts too. A bar at the top says what to do and how to stop, so nothing depends on knowing a hidden gesture.
• Swapping two players in the same game works. It used to fail with a message out of the database. That was the most ordinary swap there is, so it is the one worth having.
• A court card no longer says somebody is playing in a game that has not started. It now says where the scorer actually is, like "due on court 2".
• The two numbers on a court card say Level in front of them, and Change says Change scorer, which is what it does.
• Ask to run sessions is in the menu if you do not organize anything yet. An admin sees what you asked and can put you in charge of a group, even one you have not joined.
• Admins can search the list of people and tap anyone to see which groups they run.

20 September 2026

• Scan to check in. Tap Share on the check-in screen and hold up the QR. Everyone scans it with their own phone and ticks their own name, so the organizer is not the one typing all afternoon.
• Scan a QR from the home screen if you would rather not type a code at all. Your phone's own camera app works too.
• Pick how people are matched. Balanced evens out the teams by level. Social mix ignores levels and rotates partners. Same level keeps similar players together. Winners up is the one most clubs already play by hand: court 1 is the top court, win and you move towards it, lose and you drop back a court.
• In Winners up, Up next shows where everybody stands, so you can see your own court without anybody keeping a table.
• End the session is now on the Courts tab instead of hidden in the menu. If a game is still on court it tells you which one, and lets you put the score in or void it there and then.
• The check-in button counts for you. It says how many are ticked, and tells you when you still do not have four for a court.
• Only an admin makes a group. In Group settings the owner can put somebody else in charge as an organizer.

20 September 2026

• No more rounds. A court that finishes is given its next game straight away, from whoever has waited longest, so the quick court no longer stands empty waiting for the slow one.
• Games appear on their own the moment the session starts, and again every time a score goes in or somebody new checks in.
• Up next lists what is waiting and what is being played. Tap two players to swap them, or reshuffle everything that has not started.
• A line-up you arranged by hand is left alone by the automatic reshuffle.
• Nobody can be put on two courts at once.
• Full screen on every screen, and the scoreboard goes edge to edge when you turn the phone sideways.
• The receiver now stands diagonally opposite the server, as they should.

20 September 2026

• Make a group once, add everyone who plays, and give each person a level.
• Players without an account can be added as guests and still get ranked.
• Balanced rounds: the app fills every court at once, evens out the teams by level, and rotates who sits out.
• Tap two players to swap them, or reshuffle the whole round.
• Keep two people together all day with Always partner with.
• A scoreboard for every court: the call in big numbers, the server and receiver by name, time-outs, a game clock and undo.
• Turn the phone sideways for a big court display you can prop up.
• Hand a court to a scorer. They run that board and nothing else.
• Live standings, and a Top 5 with awards when the day is done.
• Copy the results as text and paste them into the group chat.
• Share a link so anyone can watch without signing in.
• Your KaBingo or KaLaro account works here, no new signup.
