Log in to your captain account, go to the tournament homepage, click Teams, find and click your team name, open the Schedule tab, locate your upcoming match, and click Go to Matchup. From there, click Set Lineups, fill in each lineup section, and click Save Lineup inside every box before leaving the page. Unsaved boxes will not retain your entries.
If you are a team captain in a pickleball team event, setting your lineup is a quick process once you know where to go. This guide walks through exactly how to enter your team lineup for a match in Pickleball Play Solutions, including where to find your matchup, how to enter players, and what to double-check before leaving the page.
Make sure you are logged in to the correct captain account for your team. It is also helpful to know whether your team is expected to enter its lineup first or second for the match.
If that is not clear, check with your tournament director. Event setups can vary, and the tournament director decides how the lineup process works for a specific event.
RecommendedCheck that all players you plan to roster are already added to your team. If a player is missing from your roster, you will not be able to enter them in the lineup. Contact your tournament director if a player needs to be added before the lineup window closes.
Start from the tournament homepage and follow these steps to reach your match details page.
This takes you to the match details page, where you can begin entering your lineup if it is your team's turn.
RecommendedIf your upcoming match does not appear under the Schedule tab, it may not have been published yet by the tournament director, or the lineup window may not be open. Check back closer to your match time or reach out to your tournament director to confirm when lineup entry opens.
In some events, one team captain must submit their lineup before the opposing captain can complete theirs. If your team is first, you will see the option to Set Lineups.
Click Set Lineups and scroll down to view the lineup sections for the event.
Each section represents a match or position grouping. The section titles may look different from one tournament to another because they are based on how the tournament director configured the event.
WarningIf the titles do not make it obvious which players belong in each section, ask the tournament director for clarification before submitting anything. Entering players in the wrong section could affect your matchup results and may not be reversible after submission.
As you work through the page, fill in the appropriate team members for each section.
You have two ways to save your progress:
WarningThe most important part of this process is saving. Each lineup box requires its own save action — clicking Save Lineup inside that specific section. Entering player names and navigating away without saving will result in your entries not being kept. Before leaving the page, scroll through every section and confirm each one has been saved.
Once the first team has finished, the opposing team captain can log in and follow the same general path:
If the first team has already completed its lineup, the second captain may be taken directly to the player entry area. At that point, the second team can place its players into the available lineup sections and save each completed box just as the first team did.
RecommendedEven if you are the second team entering, the save requirement is identical. Do not assume that because the first team has already submitted, your entries are automatically locked in. Every section still needs to be saved individually before you leave the page.
Depending on the event setup, you may not always be able to view the full matchup right away. Some tournaments allow more visibility during lineup entry, while others reveal details only after both teams have submitted their lineups.
This is controlled by the tournament director, so if something looks different than expected, that is usually the reason.
| Visibility Setting | What You Will See |
|---|---|
| Full visibility enabled | You can view opponent lineup sections and matchup details during lineup entry. |
| Restricted visibility | Matchup details are hidden until both teams have submitted their lineups. |
| Custom configuration | Varies by event — check with your tournament director if you are unsure what to expect. |
This depends on the specific event setup configured by the tournament director. If it is not clear which team goes first, contact your tournament director before the lineup window opens. Do not wait until the last minute — lineup windows can close, and missing the deadline may result in a default lineup being assigned.
Section names are set by the tournament director and can vary significantly from event to event. If you are unsure which players belong in which section, ask the tournament director directly before submitting. Entering the wrong players in the wrong sections can affect match outcomes and may be difficult to correct after submission.
Return to the lineup page and review each section. If your entries are still visible, click Save Lineup inside each box to confirm. If the entries are gone, you will need to re-enter them and save. Saving is required within each individual section — there is no single global save button that covers all sections at once.
Some events limit what is visible until both teams have submitted their lineups. This is a setting controlled by the tournament director. If you need to see the full matchup before both lineups are in, contact your tournament director and ask them to adjust the visibility setting for your event.
If you realize a mistake was made after saving, return to the lineup page and check whether the section is still editable. Some events allow captains to update their lineup up until a certain deadline. If the window has closed or the lineup is locked, contact your tournament director immediately — they may be able to make corrections on the backend before the match begins.
Contact your tournament director as soon as possible. Depending on the event rules, you may be able to substitute a rostered player into the lineup before the match begins. Last-minute substitutions and forfeit rules vary by event, so confirming the policy with your tournament director in advance is strongly recommended.
Follow these steps every time you need to set a lineup for a team match:
