FAQ

Questions, answered.

The essentials on DinkTap for players and clubs. More detail lands here as we get closer to launch.

  • What is DinkTap?

    DinkTap is the all-in-one pickleball platform for players and the clubs they play at. Players find skill-matched games nearby, log every match, track a real rating, and climb local leaderboards. Clubs run courts, reservations, leagues, tournaments, brackets, standings, and member communication — one connected system instead of a patchwork of spreadsheets, group chats, and separate apps.

  • What is the DMR™ rating?

    DMR™ — the DinkTap Match Rating — is our skill rating for pickleball. It updates after every match you log, weighing who you played and how the game went, so your number reflects how you actually play rather than a one-time self-assessment. It helps you find evenly matched games, see your progress over time, and seed leagues and tournaments fairly.

  • Is DinkTap free to use?

    Yes — players can use DinkTap for free: find games, log matches, track your DMR™, and follow leaderboards at no cost. Clubs and organizers have paid plans for running courts, leagues, and tournaments at scale. If you run a club, reach out through our Partners page and we'll help you find the right fit.

  • Is DinkTap for players or for clubs?

    Both — and that's the point. Players use DinkTap to find games, meet nearby players, and track progress; clubs use it to manage courts, run events, and grow their community. Because both sides share one platform, players discover more places to play and clubs reach more engaged players — each makes the other better.

  • Can clubs run leagues and tournaments on DinkTap?

    Yes. Clubs and organizers can run leagues and tournaments end to end on DinkTap — registration, scheduling, brackets, live scoring, and standings — with player communication built in. DMR™ helps seed divisions fairly, and results flow straight back to players' profiles and ratings.

  • Does DinkTap handle court bookings?

    Yes. DinkTap includes court and reservation tools so clubs can manage availability and keep play organized, and players can see open courts and book time. It lives on the same platform as games, leagues, and ratings — so courts, events, and members all stay connected.

  • When will DinkTap be available?

    DinkTap is rolling out on iOS and Android — you can find the player app on the App Store and Google Play, and we're expanding club tools and coverage area by area. If DinkTap isn't live where you play yet, join the waitlist from our Partners page and we'll let you know the moment it reaches you.

  • How does DinkTap handle my data and privacy?

    We only use your information to power your DinkTap experience — finding games, tracking your rating, and running your club's events — and we never sell your personal data. You stay in control of your profile and what you share with other players. For the full details, see our Privacy Policy.
