Pickleball ladder app for singles and doubles.
Something to play for between open play sessions.
Once a pickleball group has a regular open play, the keenest players want something to play for. A ladder gives them that without a fixture list: challenge the players just above you, play, and climb. Rallio keeps the order, the challenges and the scores, so nobody has to.
Pickleball ladders in Rallio
Built for how pickleball clubs run them.
Scores to 11
Scores are entered game by game, to 11, not in tennis sets. A game that hasn’t reached a winning score is flagged before it’s saved, and the other side confirms the result before the ladder moves.
Doubles that suit pickleball
Most pickleball is doubles, so a ladder can be one of pairs. Either partner can challenge, accept, add the date or enter the score, and the pair climbs together.
Bring your DUPR
Players can add their DUPR rating, or you can use club levels in your own words. Rallio uses them to set the starting order before the first result.
From open play to a ladder
Run open play as Rallio mixers and the ladder alongside it. The same members and levels flow through both, and results move players’ ratings.

Chat, safeguarding and privacy
Players talk in the app. Juniors stay protected.
Chat in the app, not another WhatsApp group
Switch on Player chat for a ladder, competition or box league and every game gets its own chat, with only the players in that game in it. The game sits pinned at the top with its next step: accept, add the date, enter the score. Players without chat in the app get their messages by email.
Juniors kept safe
A manager marks a player as a junior at your club. Juniors only chat where everyone in the activity is a junior, so a junior never chats with an adult. A junior’s mobile number isn’t shown to other players, and a game with a junior in it stays inside Rallio, with no WhatsApp prompt.
Report, block and moderate
Any player can report a message, and the activity’s managers see that one message and who reported it. Managers can’t read chats otherwise. Players can block someone, and chats close the day after the game and are deleted 30 days later.
Privacy under UK GDPR
Player data is stored in the EU, never sold and never used for advertising. Club standings are visible to members only, not the open web. Sign-in is by emailed code, with no passwords to leak, and players can delete their account themselves at any time.

Pickleball ladders: questions
Every player or pair has a position. Challenge anyone in the few places above you, play your game, and enter the score. Win and you take their place; lose and nothing changes. There’s no end date, so it runs all year.
No. A group without a clubhouse can set up in Rallio and run a ladder at whichever courts you play on.
Yes. Create as many ladders as you like, each singles or doubles, open, men’s or women’s.
