## A board tuned for fantasy pickleball

Filter and sort players by position, team, and your own custom ratings so the right pick is always one tap away.

**Positions on the board:** Singles, Doubles, Mixed doubles, Banger, Dinker

**Draft the biggest names:** Load players from across the PPA Tour and MLP — for example: PPA Tour, MLP, APP Tour

## How to run a fantasy pickleball draft

1. **Build your fantasy pickleball board.** Upload a CSV of players from the PPA Tour and MLP with your own ranks and any rating columns you care about, or start from a template and edit it.
2. **Set the format and invite your league.** Choose a snake draft, a budget auction, or a hybrid of both, set the order or randomise it, then share one join link with your managers.
3. **Draft it live.** Every manager picks on the same synced clock. Auto-pick keeps the fantasy pickleball draft moving if someone loses signal, and the commissioner can undo a pick or skip a turn if it goes wrong.

## What matters in a fantasy pickleball draft

The board is only half of it — here is how fantasy pickleball leagues usually approach draft day.

Pickleball scores across three disciplines, and the best singles player is frequently not a top doubles player. Draft for the events your league actually scores rather than for overall reputation.

Mixed doubles is where partnerships matter most, so carry the partner as a column — drafting one half of a dominant pairing is worth far less than it looks.

The pro tours are young and rankings move fast. Re-upload the pool before each draft rather than reusing a board from last season.
