Find a meet that fits
A meet is an organized pickleball session. You can browse public meets, venues, clubs and player profiles before signing in.
- Explore your options
Open Explore and use the available location, date and skill filters. Read the meet's venue, schedule, player limit, fee and organizer instructions.
- Set up your profile
Sign in or create an account when you want to participate. Add an accurate name, skill tier and any rating you use. Follow any club-membership or tier restrictions shown on the meet.
- Check the join status
Use Join Meet when a place is available. If the meet is full, follow its waitlist or available Pasalo flow instead of sending an unsolicited payment. A waitlist place is not a confirmed slot.
Pay and submit your receipt
Paid meets require payment proof in the join flow. Korte keeps your entry and receipt together; it does not process the transfer or issue refunds.
- Read the payment instructions first
Check the amount and recipient in the meet. Send payment externally using the organizer's stated method. Free meets follow their own join flow without a payment receipt.
- Upload the required proof
Submit a readable receipt as directed. Crop unrelated balances, transactions and personal details. Never upload passwords, PINs or one-time codes.
- Check your entry status
A submitted receipt goes to organizer review; it is not automatic payment verification or slot confirmation. Check the meet for confirmation and respond if the organizer needs a correction.
Good to know: Questions about a transfer, cancellation or refund go to the payment recipient. Keep your own payment record; Korte is not a permanent receipt archive.
Arrive and join the rotation
Let the organizer know when you arrive. Joining a meet and being checked in for live play are separate steps.
- Wait for check-in
The organizer checks you in when you are present and ready. Checked-in players become eligible for the session's queue.
- Follow your court assignment
Look for your name or player number and follow the organizer's instructions. Queue behavior depends on the selected mode and the eligible players available.
- Tell the organizer when you need a break
The organizer can skip a rotation, update your meet-only details or send you home. Ask to be added back when you are ready, rather than assuming you are still in the active queue.
Follow live play and results
Use the meet's Watch entry or the organizer's shared spectator link to see the session view. Players do not need organizer controls.
- Check courts and Up next
The shared view shows available live court and queue information. Up next is a prediction, not a fixed reservation; arrivals and organizer changes can update it.
- Review final standings
After the organizer finishes and saves the session, check the results. Ranked eligibility and guest participation can affect whether results contribute to your profile or leaderboard.
Good to know: A shared spectator link can be viewed or forwarded by others. Do not post it publicly if the organizer intends to keep the session view within your group.
Book a court or use Pasalo
A court booking reserves venue time through the venue's booking process. It is separate from joining a meet.
- Read the venue's booking details
Choose an available court and time, check the total and venue conditions, and follow the external payment and receipt instructions when required.
- Follow the booking status
Use My Bookings to review your request. Pending review is not the same as confirmed. Contact the venue if you need help with payment or a change.
- Use only the available transfer action
If Pasalo is offered for your meet slot or booking, follow that flow's eligibility, timer and review steps. A claimed slot can expire and a transfer is not a refund from Korte.
Manage your profile and community
Keep your profile current, join clubs you belong to, and use the messaging features available to your account and participation status.
- Review what others can see
Public profile and published content can be viewed without an account. Use the available privacy settings for individual profile sections; do not assume the whole profile is private.
- Manage notifications and account settings
Review notification preferences and device permissions in settings. Account deletion is available in Profile settings. Use Send Feedback or contact Korte@outlook.ph for support.
For organizers
One meet for setup, roster management, receipt review, check-in and live play.
Create your meet
Organizer home brings your meets and setup actions together. Choose the creation path that matches the roster you have.
- Already have a roster? Use Quick creation
Paste the roster into the import field or add names manually. Review the imported names, remove duplicates, set the session details and supported game style, then create the meet and continue straight to check-in. Imported names are guest entries, not proof of account identity or payment.
- Planning ahead? Use the full meet setup
Set the title, venue or location, date and time, player limit, courts, skill requirements and game style. Add external payment instructions for a paid meet, and review your roster and settings before publishing.
- Arrange the courts separately
Listing a venue in a meet does not reserve its courts. Make the necessary venue booking or arrangement before inviting players.
Review players and receipts together
Use the meet's management view to keep roster entries, receipt submissions and participation status in one place.
- Open the player's submitted receipt
Review payment proof from the corresponding entry instead of collecting screenshots in a group chat. Check the recipient, amount and reference against your own payment account.
- Confirm only what you have verified
Use the available review actions to confirm a valid entry or handle an incorrect submission. A screenshot alone does not prove a settled transfer. Tell the player when a correction is needed.
- Review imported and guest entries
Check names, tiers and any meet-only overrides. Pasted rosters do not automatically verify payments or link guests to registered profiles. Only add or confirm players you intend to admit.
Good to know: Korte tracks submissions and status; you remain responsible for checking external payments. Keep necessary records outside the app for your own accounting.
Check in the players who arrive
Open Start Check-in or Continue Check-in from meet management. Check-in prepares attendance for live play; it is not payment verification.
- Check in each arrival
Mark players present when they are ready to play. Leave absent players unchecked. Review guest entries and meet-only skill information before sending players to court.
- Continue into the live session
Follow the start action after reviewing the ready roster and courts. Later arrivals can be admitted through Check in players during open play.
Choose an available queue mode
Read the mode's information in the setup picker before starting. Matchmaking rules differ by mode; there is no single rule that describes every queue.
- Balanced — fair rotation
Uses waiting order to bring players back to court and balances the selected teams by skill. Different levels can share a court; wider matches can be marked Open match.
- Balance Games — equal game count
Prioritizes game-count equity while preferring a same-skill group. A player who is a game ahead may wait longer. An open group may be used if the pool cannot form a same-skill group.
- Same skill level only
Keeps matches within a skill level. Each level needs enough eligible players to fill and rotate its own court; a small group can wait or repeat partners. Review any explicit shortage or fallback prompt before acting.
- Rally Ladder
Groups players by their latest completed win or loss when the oldest waiting player's lane can fill a court. New players start without a result. A short lane fills from the available queue as an Open match.
- Mixed doubles (Beta)
Each team has one man and one woman. Use Set gender at check-in to choose Men or Women for every checked-in player. A match needs two men and two women; when a legal group cannot form, the court waits or you can review an explicit Open match prompt. Partner locks still apply.
- Men’s & women’s doubles (Beta)
Each match has four men or four women. Set Men or Women for every checked-in player. A group waits when it cannot form four eligible players; review any explicit Open match prompt before mixing groups. Gender changes apply to this meet only.
- King of the Court (Beta)
The winning pair stays together to face new challengers, with an optional streak cap. Use the King guide below for court switches, player preferences and conditional Up next.
- DUPR mode (Beta)
Collect each player's DUPR account ID before play and record full point scores, not just winners. After the meet, review every result, choose the scoring rules used, and download one CSV to import manually in your DUPR club.
Good to know: The three Beta matchmaking modes require doubles. DUPR mode is a separate export setting and does not upload results automatically.
Run your first rotation
Use the current court actions to move from arrivals to your next game.
- Check in an arrival
When a player arrives, tap Check in beside their name. Leave anyone who has not arrived unchecked; you can check them in later during open play.
- Fill an open court
On an empty court, tap Fill Court to send the next compatible four players out.
- Open scoring when the game ends
On the court that finished, tap Enter Score to open the score sheet.
- Submit the result and rotate
Choose the winning team, then tap Submit Scores.
- Fill the next court
After a result is recorded, tap Fill Court. If you need to reset the lineup, tap Cancel, confirm it, then fill the court again from Up next.
- Check in players during open play
As players arrive, use the Check in players panel beside the roster. Check in each arrival who is ready to join the queue.
Handle changes during play
Open the action that matches the situation. These are live changes, not a second registration flow.
Cancel a match
Use Cancel on the court, review the warning, then confirm Cancel match. The court is cleared and the players return to the waiting queue.
Edit a court lineup
Tap the court pencil. Shuffle keeps all four players; a switch replaces one spot. Changes apply immediately when the lineup respects the mode and partner locks. King of the Court winning partners stay together; finish or cancel their round before removing a winner. In a King session, each court also has a King switch: empty courts change immediately, and active courts change after the current game. Tap Done to close the editor after the lineup looks right.
Review Up next
Use Up next to review the prediction. King sessions show each court’s challengers separately from the Balanced queue, using one shared waiting pool. The winning pair stays together unless the win cap resets; active-court previews depend on the result and which court finishes first. Edit a complete preview when the courtside situation needs it. There is no separate confirmation step; the next-match adjustment is applied as you make it.
Handle player exceptions
Use Replace, Skip, Edit player, Send home, or Add back from the player row. Edit player combines the name, tier, DUPR rating, and session gender fields in one editor. Mark as late appears only in modes with late-arrival fairness. The roster state and queue stay visible so you can keep the rotation moving.
Run King of the Court
Choose King of the Court (Beta) for a doubles session. King courts keep the winning pair together; Balanced courts use normal rotation. All courts draw from one shared waiting pool.
- Choose the starting courts
Use the court preset before starting: King on every court, or Court 1 King with the remaining courts Balanced. During play, each court shows Now and its King switch. An empty court switches immediately; an occupied court shows Next game and switches after that game. Switch back to cancel a pending change.
- Set a player’s court preference
Open Edit player from the check-in roster or live roster. Shared is the default and allows both court types. Balanced only joins normal rotation; King only joins King courts. New entrants start Shared. Preferences apply only to this meet and never change a profile.
- Finish the current game first
Editing a playing player’s preference keeps the current game intact. The new choice applies after that game. If either winner becomes Balanced only, the whole winning pair returns to the queue instead of retaining a King place.
- Keep the winners together
After recording the winner, the winning pair stays together to face two eligible challengers. When the configured streak cap is reached, both winners rotate out. Review the streak cap in setup; a cap gives other players a turn.
- Understand a waiting court
A court waits when too few eligible players can form its next lineup. A King only player cannot play while every court is Balanced; a Balanced only player cannot play while every court is King. Add eligible arrivals, change a court rule, or edit a player’s preference. Partner locks still require compatible partners and court preferences. Open match can relax the rating gap only; it cannot bypass preferences or partner locks.
- Read Up next as a preview
King challengers and Balanced queue are separate sections using the same pool, not duplicate reservations. A King lineup can depend on who wins, the streak cap, and which court finishes first. Previews refresh as results, preferences, arrivals and court rules change.
Practice King of the Court

Keep one session controller
Run the session from its authorized organizer device. Co-organizer access does not mean several devices should independently control the same live session.
- Use the explicit transfer flow
If another organizer needs to take over, use the app's handoff and confirmation process. Do not start controlling the session from another tab just because you can open its URL.
- Recover deliberately after a device change
Follow any recovery gate and review the available session state before accepting control. Players and spectators should use Watch, not the organizer's live route.
- Protect the active device's local records
Avoid clearing browser data, using private browsing or uninstalling the app during an unfinished session. Local state can support recovery, but connection and saving status still matter.
End and save safely
Resolve every active court before closing the session. Final results depend on successful saving and finalization.
- Clear the courts
Finish and score games that count, or cancel unfinished games. Then use End Session and review its confirmation.
- Resolve saving errors
If the app reports a saving, reconciliation or finalization failure, follow its retry or recovery instructions. Keep the active device and session records intact; do not assume navigation alone means results were saved.
- Review and share the standings
Check the completed results and use the available standings download/share action. Contact support if the final results are incomplete.
Practice before your next open play
Use the guided tutorial from Organizer home, or the sandbox at /try, to learn the court and roster actions without changing a real meet.
Good to know: For help, use Send Feedback or email Korte@outlook.ph. Include the meet link and a description of what happened, but do not send passwords, PINs or unrelated financial information.
