Dink in a Box

Dink in a Box is the session-management toolkit for pickleball, padel, and tennis hosts. If you run open play at a club, organize a weekly Americano, wrangle a 4-team MLP night, or just set up a quick doubles match, DIAB replaces the clipboard, the whiteboard, and the "who's up next?" chaos with one phone propped on a bench.

Pick a format, set your courts, add your players, and the app handles the rest — who plays, who sits, who plays with (and against) whom, and what the score does to everyone's rating.

SIX WAYS TO PLAY PICKLEBALL

SMART Open Play — continuous rotation across multiple courts that balances partners, opponents, and bench time automatically. No more "I've sat out twice in a row."
Americano RR — rotating partners, individual scoring, a leaderboard that sorts itself.
King of the Court — winners climb, losers drop. Simple, ruthless, beloved.
MLP Tourney — a full 4-team, 24-game rally-scoring tournament with team standings and a final.
Singles Mingle — singles rotation with host-curated matchups.
Ye Olde Pickleball — claim the Throne in a medieval ladder where courts are castles and the Pit is very real.
NOW PLAYING: PADEL & TENNIS

Run a full padel or tennis match from the 4-Player Session — real tennis scoring (0 · 15 · 30 · 40, deuce, advantage, games, sets, best-of-3).
Tap a ball to choose who serves first; the app tracks the serving rotation, sides, and changeovers for you.
Score it from your Apple Watch — hand off the match and keep the set-by-set scoreboard right on your wrist.
Play on the surface you like — clay, grass, and hard-court themes included.
BUILT FOR THE PERSON RUNNING THE SHOW

Player check-in with one-tap "everyone's here."
Add registered players in a tap — type a player code or scan their QR.
Round timers, game timers, and big readable courts designed for a phone on a bench.
Voice scoring — speak the score, keep your hands free.
Apple Watch scoring for single-court pickleball, padel, and tennis.
Court themes to match your venue (or your mood).
Closed the app mid-session? Rejoin exactly where you left off — rounds, scores, and matchups intact.
Session results export when it's over.
RATINGS THAT TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES

Players who create a free profile get a player code their host can add to any roster. Recorded games feed the DiNKR Dynamic Rating (DDR) — a 2.0–8.0 rating that updates from real results, accounting for opponent strength, score margins, and upsets. Self-rate to start; after your first recorded game, your rating earns itself.

Casual players never need an account — unregistered players join any session by name, no strings attached.

Dink in a Box is built by DiNKR for the hosts who make game day happen. Box up the chaos. Let them play.
