# pickled.love App

> The pickled.love app is a sport-specific operating system for adult pickleball leagues. It unifies registration, scheduling, score reporting, standings, notifications, and billing in one product.

pickled.love fits adult pickleball league operators who need registration, scheduling, score reporting, standings, notifications, billing, and day-to-day operations in one workflow. Related versions for parallel sports use the same operating model in this product family.

## Product Fit

Best fit:
- Adult pickleball league operators, venues, clubs, and organizers who manage recurring seasonal leagues.
- Leagues that need registration, payments, scheduling, standings, score reporting, and captain/player communication.
- Managers who want public league pages, player-facing workflows, and back-office operations in one place.

Not primarily for:
- Live streaming, ticketing, team-only chat, facility booking-only, or generic event RSVP workflows.
- Use cases where league schedules, standings, score reporting, and registration are not part of the operating model.
