Pickleball coverage

Pickleball tournaments, streamed court by court

Pickleball tournaments run many short matches across several courts in a day. That changes the production completely: the problem is not one long match, it is covering a draw that moves fast and keeping every court's score right.

The pickleball scoreboard, built for pickleball

A generic score bug with the words changed does not work. These are the fields our graphics carry for pickleball, driven live from the scorer.

Score bug

Both sides' points, with the serving team and server number marked

Game and match

Games won in a best-of-three or best-of-five draw

Side out

Service change shown clearly, which is the state spectators lose track of

High behind the baseline

The whole court in one frame, which is the only way a short court reads on a stream.

Elevated side

Kitchen-line play and the net exchanges that decide points.

Roaming

Presentations, player reactions and the between-match colour.

Tournament formats we cover

Round-robin pools into a knockout, run across several courts in parallel, often with singles, doubles, mixed and skill-band events in the same tournament. Days are long and the schedule shifts, so the graphics carry the draw and the category as well as the score.

Line calls and review

Pickleball's arguments are almost all line calls, and the rallies are fast enough that nobody at the net saw it properly. We have a camera-based review setup for pickleball - ask about it for your tournament, since it depends on the courts and the positions available.

Questions we get asked

Before you enquire

Can you stream more than one court at once?

Yes. Either as separate streams per court, or one stream that cuts between courts to follow the best live match.

Can registration handle singles, doubles and mixed?

Yes. Each event is set up with its own entry form and fee, and a player entering several categories is still one player record.

Do you cover indoor courts?

Yes. Indoor is easier for exposure and harder for space, so the camera plan is built around what the hall allows.
