Features

From “Who's playing?” to the final score.

Captain's Assistant

Your crew has an AI assistant now

Know whether your next session is on track before you have to ask.

Captain's Assistant uses AI to turn your current session activity into one clear status: good to go, or what needs your attention. It can flag a player shortage, identify unanswered RSVPs, and give you a quick way to handle the next step—all from one screen, without digging through a group chat.

Roster

Know who's playing

Underneath the Assistant is the same real-time roster every captain actually needs.

  • Share the code. Every crew gets its own 8-character code. Hand it out and players join themselves, no waiting on you.
  • Add them yourself. Adding a player directly sends them an invite on the spot, so nobody has to hunt down a code to get started.
  • RSVP that actually tells you something. Confirmed, Maybe, and Out are all visible, with live counts, so “I don't know who's coming” stops being the answer.
  • Reminders and push notifications reach anyone who hasn't responded yet, while spots remain, and let everyone know the moment something changes.

Waitlist

Fill open spots with waitlist automation

A cancellation doesn't have to shrink your game.

  • Fill open spots without restarting the group chat. When someone drops, The Crew alerts eligible waitlist players so the open spot can be claimed quickly.
  • See a shortage before it's a problem. If your numbers take a hit in the last 24 hours before a match, The Crew flags it so you have time to actually do something about it, instead of finding out when people don't show up.

Check-in

Build the game-day lineup

Build it from who's actually standing on the court.

  • Check in as people arrive. Build the lineup from who's really here, not just who tapped accept days ago, even when someone arrives late or has to drop out.
  • Adjust on the fly. Change how many are playing right up until the first bracket generates.
  • Singles or doubles, your call. Rotate partners each round, or keep fixed pairs all session, whatever your crew actually plays.

Brackets & scoring

Generate brackets and track scores

Pick a format, and The Crew builds the bracket.

Round Robin or King of the Court. The bracket generates automatically, and adjusts live if someone bails between matches or shows up late.

  • Make the courts feel like yours. Rename them from the default C1, C2, C3 to whatever your crew actually calls them.
  • Score from any phone. Tap in a score and the leaderboard updates instantly for the whole crew.
  • Fix a mistake after the fact. Leaders can correct a score if something was entered wrong. No time limit, no locked-out matches.

Chat

Keep your crew connected

Crew conversation and game activity, together in one place.

Every crew gets its own chat, and it's also where your crew's activity shows up automatically: a new session goes up, a result comes in, someone new joins.

Crew chat with automatic updates
History

Build a history together

Your crew builds a history every time you play.

Session results are saved automatically. Crew Plus turns them into a lasting record with all-time standings, head-to-head records, partner results, streaks, and long-running rivalries. Upgrade once and everyone in your crew can see them.

All-time standings and head-to-head
For the whole crew

Better for players, too

Players always know when and where they're playing, who else is in, and what court they're on. They can enter scores from their own phone, follow the standings, and keep up with every crew they belong to, without digging through group texts or paying for an account.

Also included

And there's more

A welcome that fits

New members get a welcome based on the crew they actually joined, including who invited them, who they'll play with, and what to expect.

Calendar sync

Sessions sync straight to each player's own calendar.

DUPR, when you want it

Display DUPR ratings and send match scores to DUPR after you play. It's optional and never required to use The Crew.

Tip of the Day

A short pickleball tip waiting in the app each day. Something to try at the next session, or quietly use to win a game off the person who always beats you.

Every crew stays separate

Join as many crews as you play with, each with its own members, conversation, and history.

Private by default

No ads, no public profiles, and your data is never sold.
