Changelog & App Updates

What's new in Mostly Perfect Pickleball: improvements to round robin scheduling, scoring, sharing, and the courtside experience.

• Light, dark, or device settings — follow your device automatically or choose your own appearance, with quick controls in the menu.
• Timed games across all formats — set an optional time limit and confirm when time expires to accept a shortened game. Use your own timer; MPP doesn't run a clock.
• Smoother navigation — clear Home controls, reference pages that stay in the same window, and warnings before discarding unfinished setup or scores.

New formats

• Season Play — plan recurring play dates with player availability, season-wide standings, and mini round robins. Share a season viewer link or a separate score-entry link for admins.
• King of Court — a doubles scramble ladder for at least eight players. Winners move up and split; losers move down and split. Waiting players enter at the lowest court, winners stay in, and sit-outs are balanced among eligible losing players. Play pauses if fewer than eight players remain.

More flexible sessions

• Add or remove players between rounds — creators can adjust Singles, Doubles Scramble, and King of Court rosters after play starts. Played games and scores are always preserved. Singles and Scramble future pairings adapt using played history; equal-count Scramble replacements inherit the outgoing players' future slots. Roster changes can reduce partner and opponent balance, so perfect seeding is no longer guaranteed.
• Named courts and timed-game rules — King of Court setup accepts custom court numbers or names and optional time limits that appear in shared sessions. Use your own timer; MPP does not run or track the clock.
• Flexible Best-of-3 scoring — finalize a Season series early when court time runs out, including a split result for a tied series. Creators can also add an optional third game after a 2–0 series: it counts toward game and point statistics without changing the original series winner.
• Clearer Singles setup — Best of 1 now describes a single game to 11, win by 1 or 2, rather than “first to 11.”

Schedule insights and live sharing

• Pair co-session and opponent matrices — see how often players share a scheduled court or face each other across formats. Singles shows opponents only. Opponent counts reflect scheduled matches or series, not individual Best-of-3 games; Season co-session counts reflect shared four-player meetups.
• Safer live score entry — simultaneous saves cannot silently overwrite one another. Score entry and clearing are tied to the original matchup and result, so a player change or a newer score blocks an outdated draft. Failed saves retain typed scores, Best-of-3 advances only after saving succeeds, and closing a session preserves the latest saved results. Existing creator, collaborator, and Season-admin permissions are unchanged.

Standings

• Custom tiebreaker order — choose the order used to separate tied players, including point differential, points scored, points allowed, and head-to-head results.
• Best-of-3 tiebreakers — Best-of-3 sessions can prioritize game win percentage before the other tiebreaking criteria.
• Session-specific standings — your tiebreaker preference is saved with the session, so each group can use the rules that fit its format.

• Today's active sessions — a quick-resume strip appears at the top of the home screen showing every session started today; one tap gets you right back in.
• Quick-switch between sessions — jump between today's sessions from the schedule screen without going back home.
• Navigation on every screen — the menu is reachable from every page, so you're never stuck without a way to get where you need to go.
• Richer print / share view — the printable results page shows the serving team for each match and additional game details alongside scores.
• Pool Play reference guide — a guide explains how to run pool-play bracket formats before a round robin trophy final.
• Add any session to Today's strip — add a past session to the quick-resume strip and quick-switch pill for the rest of the day.

Player Setup

• Import names from history — tap the History button on any name-entry screen to pull real player names from past sessions. Names already in the current list are excluded automatically.
  • Ordered selection — tap names in the order you want them filled; numbered badges show exactly which slot each name will land in.
• Drag to reorder players — grip handles on every player row let you drag-and-drop to rearrange the lineup before a session starts. Fixed Partners drags whole team cards, keeping partners together.
• QR codes on all share links — tap any share button to get a QR code alongside the copy link. Point another phone at the screen — no typing needed.

Custom Game Rules

• Rally & Sideout scoring — choose your scoring style at session setup; carries through the whole session.
• Points to win (7–21) — pick any target, not just the classic 11.
• Win by 1 or Win by 2 — win-by-1 ends the game exactly at target; no deuce runup.
• Rules on every court card — scoring reminder visible in the header of each match card so scorekeepers never forget.

Live Sharing

• Sharing across all game modes — live view-only and collaborative sharing now available for Scramble, Fixed Partners, and Singles.
• Results link anytime — share a static snapshot of the full schedule, scores, and standings (looks exactly like the creator's screen) any time during a session, not just at the end. Anyone can view or import it as a read-only session.

Session Finalization

• Manual finalization — close and finalize a session any time scores are in; cuts the live connection so scores stop updating, but shared links stay accessible as a final snapshot.
• Improved end-of-session flow — clearer messaging when sessions close; scores stay visible to viewers after finalization.

• Doubles — Fixed Partners — teams stay together all session; every team plays every other team.
• Singles round robin — 1v1 format; any player count, any court count.
• Doubles — Best of 3 — scramble format with best-of-3 series per matchup.
• 3 sharing modes — post-session results snapshot, live view-only scoreboard, and live collaborative scoring.
• Print brackets — print any schedule with court assignments and sit-out players per round.
• Feedback form — in-app form to share ideas and bug reports; accessible from the menu.
