About DillDraw

DillDraw started with a simple, annoying problem: setting up a fair pickleball Round Robin or King of the Court rotation by hand is tedious, and most "bracket generator" tools we found wanted an account, a spreadsheet, or an app download just to shuffle four names around a court.

So we built the DillDraw Pickleball Draw tool. Punch in your players, pick a format, and get an instant, fair match schedule you can run right from your phone or laptop — courtside, mid-conversation, no sign-up and nothing to lose when the games are over.

Who is behind DillDraw

DillDraw is not a company. It is my wife and me.

I am Jefferson Almeida. My wife and I have played pickleball for about four years, and I am on a court five days a week. My DUPR is currently 4.46 in doubles (4.72 in the 50+ bracket) and 4.25 in singles. I have competed at PPA Senior Pro in Cary, NC, amateur events in Virginia and Charleston, regional tournaments across the Carolinas, and internationally in São Paulo, Brazil, where I won the singles draw. I have also won singles and doubles titles at the regional level in the US, along with several silver and bronze doubles finishes.

None of that is why the tool works. It is why it exists. My wife and I wanted a quick and simple way to put a draw together for a night with friends, and to give anybody organizing a tournament or a social event the same thing: no spreadsheet, no sign-up, just names in and a schedule out. That is what DillDraw is, and it is free.

A pickleball hub, not just one tool

DillDraw is meant to grow into a small hub for the tools casual pickleball players actually reach for. Find Pickleball Tournaments is a straightforward way to browse the PPA Tour, APP Tour, and Major League Pickleball calendar by state, plus find local tournaments and open play without digging through five different Facebook groups. And if you just want a rotation on paper, free printable round robin schedules cover 4 to 20 players with the partner math already worked out.

More tools will show up here as we build them, all under the same rule: free to use, no account required, and built to get you back on the court faster than you found us.
