About
This tool was created for referee coordinators and pickleball tournaments. All code was specifically written with pickleball in mind. Special thanks to Terry and Sandy Brown, USAPA Nationals Referee Coordinators and USAPA certified referees, Marsha Freso, USAPA Certified Referee and Referee Coordinator, along with many other referees and tournament directors who had input in creating a tool that would improve referee and volunteer management.
