Also indexed as "Free Pickleball Standings & Scoring". Browser-only WebApplication at https://www.limitbreak.digital/tools/standings.

**Workflow:** Setup (event name, CSV) → Roster (pools, players) → Scores (match entry) → Board (live standings).

**Data:** Stored in browser localStorage. Export CSV anytime. No server-side account or sync.

### Score Tracker FAQs

**Q: Is the Pickleball Score Tracker free?**
A: Yes. The Pickleball Score Tracker is completely free. No account, subscription, or credit card required.

**Q: Do I need to create an account?**
A: No. Your event saves in this browser automatically. Export CSV anytime to back up or move your data.

**Q: What formats does it support?**
A: It is built for round-robin events with multiple pools. Add players, record match scores (up to three games), and view live standings ranked by wins, losses, and point differential.

**Q: Can I prepare my event in advance?**
A: Yes. Download the CSV template, fill in pools and players in Excel or Google Sheets, then upload the file before tournament day.

**Q: How is this different from LiveCourt?**
A: The Pickleball Score Tracker is a lightweight free tool for club round robins. LiveCourt is a full club website system with live scoring embedded on your site and PodPlay integration.

## LiveCourt

LiveCourt: Web System for PodPlay Clubs. LiveCourt is the live web system for pickleball and racquet clubs on PodPlay. Real-time schedules, court activity, tournaments, and member-facing content without leaving your booking stack.

**Requires PodPlay.** Does not replace PodPlay bookings. Typical setup: ~10 hours agency time; clubs often live in 1–2 weeks.

**Pricing (USD, indicative):** LiveCourt Web System ~$299/month, $0 setup, cancel anytime (~$3,588 first year). See https://www.limitbreak.digital/livecourt for current details.

### LiveCourt FAQs

**Q: Do I need to already use PodPlay?**
A: LiveCourt is built specifically on PodPlay Booking — it reads your live schedules and court data and shows them on your website. It does not replace PodPlay. If you're on another platform today, book a call and we'll talk through whether moving to PodPlay (and adding LiveCourt) is a fit for your club.

**Q: How long does setup take?**
A: We typically need around 10 hours on our side. Most clubs go live within 1 to 2 weeks of kickoff, once we have PodPlay access and your branding assets.

**Q: What happens to my existing bookings?**
A: Nothing changes in PodPlay. LiveCourt reads your booking data and displays it on your website. It doesn't move, edit, or duplicate anything in PodPlay.

**Q: What's included in ongoing support?**
A: Your plan includes one hour of support each month for updates, small content changes, and troubleshooting. Larger feature work is quoted separately.

**Q: Can I cancel anytime?**
A: Yes. LiveCourt is month-to-month with no lock-in — cancel anytime. Stop before your next billing date and you won't be charged again.

**Q: What happens if pricing changes?**
A: We'll confirm any pricing changes in writing before they apply to your account. Get in touch anytime if you want to adjust scope.

**Q: Does LiveCourt help people find my club online?**
A: Yes — by putting live schedules, programs, tournaments, and court activity on public pages that change with your club. Search engines and AI tools need current, specific content to recommend a venue. We can't guarantee rankings, but a site that updates every day beats a brochure that never changes.

**Q: What kind of club content shows up for search and AI?**
A: Anything you run through PodPlay that LiveCourt surfaces on the site: open play, clinics, leagues, events, bookings, live standings, highlights, and day-to-day court activity. That gives both Google and AI assistants concrete answers when someone asks what's on at your club this week.

## Barrel Monkey

Barrel Monkey: Surf forecast for the South West. Barrel Monkey is a regional surf forecast for Devon, Cornwall, and South Wales — live map, 48-hour score grid, and Go/Wait ratings built for the Atlantic run.

**Live forecast:** https://barrelmonkey.surf. Product overview: https://www.limitbreak.digital/barrel-monkey. Case study: https://www.limitbreak.digital/work/barrel-monkey.

### Barrel Monkey FAQs

**Q: Where does the forecast data come from?**
A: Swell, wind, and weather come from Open-Meteo on a three-hour cron. Tide clocks come from WorldTides when needed. Maps use Mapbox. Barrel Monkey scores each beach for wrap, wind against aspect, and tide windows — it does not invent swell.

**Q: Is Barrel Monkey live today?**
A: Yes. The forecast runs at barrelmonkey.surf. This page is LimitBreak’s product overview; the app itself is where you read the desk and spot pages.

**Q: Who built Barrel Monkey?**
A: LimitBreak designed and built Barrel Monkey as a regional forecast product — product design, data pipelines, and the Next.js platform. The codebase lives alongside our other sport and venue work.

**Q: Is the website speed checker free?**

A: Slow load times and weak Core Web Vitals hurt bookings, member trust, and visibility in search.
