What’s the hardest part of running a pickleball or padel tournament?

Hi everyone — I’m AJ, founder of NextArena.

We’re building NextArena to help organisers turn local tournaments into events that feel like live sport, bringing registration, scheduling, live scores and standings together with courtside displays and a public event page.

I’d love to hear from anyone who runs tournaments or plays in them: what’s the one thing you’d fix about the experience?

Managing delays? Finding your next court? Keeping spectators updated? Something else?

We’re starting with pickleball and padel, and your feedback will help shape what we build next.
