About 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.
