What Is A Playtime Scheduler, And How Does It Work?

Those feelings of the court, adrenaline rush through the veins, all for nothing if the opponent isn’t competitive enough. Even Ben Johns would agree to that. Or you are new to all this pickleball sport and can’t seem to find other players you may play with.

Maybe you are a couple trying your hands on the game. Whatever the case, you need good opponents or, at the very least, other people to play with.

A playtime scheduler is just what you will need, and of course, some skills in the sport can be the cherry on the cake.

In this article, we will see what a playtime scheduler is and how it works.

What is a playtime scheduler?

playtime scheduler is a free website exclusively for pickleball. It lets you schedule a play session with other players in your area. The Playtime scheduler is not a personal but a group scheduler. But note that it isn’t as the official website says, “reservation scheduler.” In simple words, it can’t book your venue or any court.  

You can use it to find other players according to your skill level or rating in your city. The part where you can find others according to your rating is one of the great things about it. You don’t want your opponent to be Tyson McGuffin in the first game itself, after all.

How does it work?

However fancy such a tool might sound, using it isn’t that hard. It’s relatively simple; daresay, even a 10-year-old can schedule a session. 

Let’s not pickle anymore and get the ball rolling. We are giving you some broad steps and notes where something of importance might just be overseen.

First of all, you need to register on the playtime scheduler website

• Fill in all the details asked, but remember to use the correct information.  
• You need to use actual details as other players need to know your age, gender, skill rating, etc.  
• You must also enter your actual address, as it will be necessary for the tool to find sessions near you. Otherwise, it might just find you a session 1000’s miles away in the Sahara.  
•  It is free of cost to register.

But you can buy their premium membership for more features like advance scheduling up to 30/60 days, gender-specific games (if it’s a girl day or a session for the boys), restricting wrong rating players, etc.

Select the play

• Assuming you created your dear account, now is the time to choose your session or create one yourself. We recommend choosing the session already created and making one yourself on a later play when you get the hang of it. 
• There will be many sessions according to the specific day and date. These will, of course, depend on your location. 
• Select one according to your preferred day, time, and venue. 
• Now, in the session, you will see others who have joined too. You can see their names, and if you want to join too, click “add a member” to add your name to the list.

Show your skills

After successfully adding yourself to the list, you will get an email when the date is closed. So lace your shoes and tighten your shorts, for the play awaits you and win this one.

Some more features

• There are features like “invite only,” which you can use to create a league and live that fierce race competition to the top. Or if you want to play with your private gang. 
• You can even find new or existing court locations in its interactive map.

Conclusion

Playtime scheduler can be a great tool to schedule a play with your friends; much easier than calling or messaging them individually. Moreover, you can find new playmates to play with, and who knows, you may find your next best friend. The player according to rating feature is helpful if you want to climb the ladder to the top or want players with similar play skills. 

Remember to be courteous with other players when joining a session and playing the game, as if others report you for inappropriate behavior, you might get banned on the website. Follow the rules of the play, and use the rotate system if others are waiting to play too. 

So, if you are looking for a weekend full of pickleball and need an easy way to find others to play with, this is the tool for you. Again remember it is just a scheduler; you can’t use it to reserve any court or venue.

Keep the ball in play.
