About the dilly Pickleball App
We created the first version of dilly in 2023 for our own use. Since then it has become more and more popular. We've been testing it and tweaking it over and over again in real league play, gathering feedback and surveying players as we go. The result is a unique app that is designed from the bottom up by and for pickleball enthusiasts.

We've found that different clubs need different solutions. Mix and match as you like!

Print copies of the schedule and distribute them amongst the courts so players can quickly see where to go next, with just one click.
... or create and edit it on the fly
Create the schedule one round at a time, multiple rounds at a time and delete one at a time or clear the schedule, all with one click.
Ladder leagues
Dilly has a unique take on ladder leagues.
Dilly play styles
Unlike traditional ladders where you can end up playing with and against a small group of players, a Dilly ladder lets you use the full range of Dilly play styles.
Imagine using Magic play style -- with it's optimized mixing of partners and opponents -- in a ladder league!
Dilly performance evaluation
Dilly uses the ratings of each player to predict the score of each match prior to play then adjusts ratings based on performance.
We like our default settings but administrators can adjust rules for how fast players move up and down the ladder.
DUPR optional
Optionally, upload scores to update player DUPR ratings.
Built-in pickleball timer
Set the time once and then just play.
Auto-repeat timer
Set up timing for each game, including time between games, so that you let it run for the whole event with one click.
... or start and stop when you like
Start and stop the timer with one click.
It's free (for now)
We want to get our app into as many hands as we can. So, we are offering it for free until December 31, 2026.
We ask only that you send us suggestions for improvements directly so that we can understand exactly what everyone needs to make their players happiest.
What you need to run dilly
Our application is a bit unusual.
It runs only on Office 365 and only on a Windows machine.
We did that because we were able to quickly modify and add features as we figured out what works and doesn't work in actual play.
We're still in that mode.
So, at least for the current version,
you need a device that is running a valid copy of
Office 365 on MS Windows.
Get it
We are a small team of working on this so we can only support a limited number of leagues. We are currently still adding leagues but are approaching our limit. Reach out to us soon if you would like a free copy of the app to try out.
