Sign-ups and payments, built for pickleball

One closed loop: members book & pay, PBTable balances the teams, you play, scores go in, ratings move, and the leaderboard pulls them back to book again.

Think Spond, but tailored for your club — with the court line-ups, ratings and waitlists Spond leaves you to sort by hand.

One closed loop

Bookings feed the whole club

Every part connects, so a booking isn't the end of the job — it's the start of the thing that keeps members coming back.

What clubs get

The booking admin, handled

Prepaid wallet

Members top up once, then just play

Each member holds a balance in pounds. Booking draws the session price from it; a cancellation puts the money straight back — never out to a card.

  • One card payment per top-up, not per booking
  • Refunds return to the wallet, instantly
  • A full deposit / spend / refund ledger

Waitlist & refunds

Full sessions fill themselves

When a session is full the waitlist takes over. Cancel in time and it's a full refund to your wallet; cancel late and you're only refunded if a waitlister takes your seat — and PBTable promotes them automatically.

  • Automatic waitlist promotion
  • A fair, single 24-hour cancellation rule
  • No organiser chasing the group chat

Everyone sorted automatically — no messages, no clipboard.
No roster to build

The players who book are the line-up

On other tools you'd still round up who's actually playing and split the sides yourself. In PBTable every booking drops straight into the session line-up — so the moment sign-ups close, it's ready for balanced teams. Nothing to type up, no sides to pick.

  • The roster fills itself as members book
  • One tap from a full session to balanced slips
  • Drop-outs and waitlisters update it live

Balanced court slips

Fair teams, generated in a tap

The moment your roster's set, PBTable builds the court line-ups in a tap — strong players paired with developing ones, and partners rotating every round. No captains huddled over a whiteboard.

  • Team averages within ~0.1 — every court a close game
  • Graded: ranking-based court assignments, so you play others at your level
  • Social: a choice of game modes — round robin, ladder, box league & coached nights
  • New & unrated players get a sensible starting level — never a faked rating — so first-timers still get fair, even games

See what your club saves

Because members pre-pay a wallet, PBTable makes far fewer card transactions than Spond — and you keep the fixed fee on every one removed. Drag the sliders to match your club.
