K6 Pickleball Tournament Manager — divisions screen showing five divisions with entrant and pool counts
Who this is for

Built by a player. Made for the people who host.

There's a difference between turning up to play and being the person responsible for running the event. K6 PTM is built for the second group — club tournament directors, not just competitors.

★★★★★
"I help run our club championships, tournaments and interclub competitions, and I know how much effort goes into setting these up manually with spreadsheets. I figured there had to be a better way, so I built K6 PTM. A tool that gets done what we need done, with as little pain as possible."
Brian Krisanski
Club Secretary & Tournament Director, Brisbane Bayside Pickleball Club
★★★★★
"Every function in this tool exists because we use it ourselves running club championships and friendly tournaments. It's built to handle 100+ players from multiple clubs coming together for a full day of pickleball competition."
Brian Krisanski
Pickleball Australia Certified Coach & Championship Medalist
★★★★★
"K6 PTM isn't a generic bracket generator with pickleball branding stuck on top. It understands rotating partners, Club vs Club formats, and the exact way a pickleball pool round robin actually plays out."

Developed and battle-tested at Brisbane Bayside Pickleball Club — built to run at any club, anywhere.
Sound familiar?

Running a club tournament shouldn't need a spreadsheet, a printer and a prayer.

Every tournament director knows the drill — and it eats into the very day you're supposed to be running smoothly.

🖨️
Printed Brackets Taped to a Wall
One bracket, one wall, a crowd of players squinting at it between matches — and a scramble to redraw it the moment a walkover happens.
📐
Manual Pool Seeding
Working out who plays who across multiple pools, by hand, while entrants are still arriving — then doing it again for every division.
🏟️
Court Chaos
Five divisions, four courts, and no clean way to see what's running where — so players wander over asking if their match is next.

Every tool a tournament director needs.
Nothing they don't.

Division-based. Pool-seeded. Bracket-automated.

The Tournament Pipeline

Entrants in. Champion out. Every step in between, handled.

Each division moves through the same clear pipeline — so whether you're running one division or fifteen, the process never changes.

Divisions list screen
1
Create Divisions
Set up each division in seconds — name, format (singles or doubles), fixed or rotating partners, best of 1/3/5, and bracket pairing rules. Run as many divisions as your event needs, side by side, from one tournament.
2
Add Entrants & Build Pools
Import entrants straight from your club's member list, upload a CSV, or add them manually — works for every format, including fixed teams. Then randomise or snake-seed everyone into pools in a tap, or drag entrants between pools yourself.

Standings screen showing pool A and pool B rankings
3
Play the Round Robin
Every pool match is generated automatically, using the same rotating-partner engine proven in K6 PSM. Live standings update after every score — ranked by wins, losses and point differential, with qualifying spots highlighted the moment they're locked in.
4
Seed the Bracket
Once pool play wraps up, K6 PTM seeds the top finishers straight into a single-elimination bracket — sized automatically to the number of qualifiers. Byes, scoring, and the champion podium are all handled inside the same screen.

Assign Courts, Tournament-Wide
Once enough divisions have their pools ready, generate the Court/Game Schedule once — it splits your available courts evenly across every division's pool matches at the same time, with conflict-free time slots. Bracket rounds get a court assigned manually as each one becomes ready.

Every feature a tournament director needs.

From the first entrant to the champion podium — K6 PTM covers the full tournament lifecycle.

🗂️
Divisions
Run unlimited divisions in one tournament — Men's, Women's, Mixed, skill brackets, age groups — each with its own format, partner mode and match length.
Core
👥
Entrant Import
Import directly from your club's member list, upload a CSV, or add entrants manually — every method works for every format, including fixed doubles teams.
Core
🎲
Randomize & Snake Seed
Assign every entrant to a pool with one tap — Randomize for a fair shuffle, or Snake Seed to spread ranked entrants evenly. Or skip both and drag entrants between pools yourself.
Pools
🔄
Rotating or Fixed Partners
Doubles divisions can rotate partners through pool play using the same proven engine from K6 PSM, or lock entrants into fixed teams for the whole event.
Core
📊
Live Pool Standings
Standings update instantly as scores come in — ranked by wins, losses and point differential — with the qualifying line highlighted so everyone can see who's through.
Core
🏆
Auto-Seeded Bracket
Top finishers from each pool seed straight into a single-elimination bracket, sized automatically to the qualifier count. Byes, scoring and the champion podium are built in.

Court/Game Schedule
Generate a tournament-wide court schedule for every division's pool matches in one action, sharing available courts evenly and avoiding conflicts.
Full App
Club vs Club Mode
Run an inter-club tournament with running club totals — 1 point per match win, tallied across every division. Doubles teams stay fixed and same-club by design.

Best of 1 / 3 / 5

Tournament Formats

The right format for every division.

Every division is configured independently, so a single tournament can mix and match formats freely.

S
Singles or Doubles
Every division is set up as singles or doubles from the start. Format can't be changed once entrants are added, keeping the pool math consistent from day one.
R
Rotating Partners
Doubles entrants are entered as individuals and rotate partners through pool play — the same fair, proven algorithm used in K6 PSM's session engine.
F
Fixed Teams
Entrants register as a locked pair for the whole tournament — the standard format for most competitive doubles events and required for Club vs Club.
C
Club vs Club
An inter-club event where every match win also adds a point to a running club total. Doubles teams are fixed and same-club so the club scoring stays fair.
⚠️ Club vs Club tournaments only support fixed, same-club doubles teams — rotating partners is disabled automatically to keep the club scoring meaningful.
Access Control

The right access for everyone at the tournament.

K6 PTM uses a simple role-based system — the person running the event has full control, while everyone else gets a clean, live view of what's happening.

Admin
Tournament Director / Club Administrator
Full control — create and edit tournaments and divisions, manage entrants and pools, generate round robins and brackets, enter scores, run the Court/Game Schedule, and manage club members and user accounts.
Member
Club Member / Player
Read-only access to every tournament, division, pool, standings table and bracket. Members can follow the whole event live from their own device but can't edit anything — scores are entered by the tournament director only.
🔒 Score entry is admin-only in K6 PTM — this keeps one source of truth for every result, with no risk of a player accidentally editing a live match.

FAQ

Common questions answered.

Do I need a separate account from K6 PSM?
No. K6 PTM and K6 PSM share the same login and club data. If your club already uses K6 PSM, every member can sign into K6 PTM immediately with no new registration.
Can I run multiple divisions in one tournament?
Yes — a single tournament can hold as many divisions as your event needs, each with its own format, partner mode and match length, running side by side.
Does it handle mixed doubles and skill brackets?
Yes. Create a division for each category — Men's, Women's, Mixed, or skill-based brackets like "2.99 and under" — and manage entrants and pools independently for each.
What happens with byes or walkovers?
Byes are handled automatically in both pool play and the bracket — no need to manually redraw anything.
Can players enter their own scores?
No — score entry is admin-only in K6 PTM, by design. This keeps one clear source of truth for every result during a live event.
Is it suitable for an inter-club event?
Yes — Club vs Club mode tracks a running club total alongside individual results, with 1 point per match win across every division. Doubles teams stay fixed and same-club for this format.
Does it work on the day, courtside, on a phone?
Yes — K6 PTM is a progressive web app that runs in any modern browser. No app store download, no install, works on iPhone, Android, tablet or laptop.
When does the paid subscription launch?
Online payment is coming soon. Leave your email above and you'll get early access along with a founding member rate before public pricing goes live.
