Frequently asked questions
How do I sign in?
Enter your mobile number and we'll text you a 6-digit code to verify — no password. You stay signed in until you reinstall the app.
Do the other players need an account?
Only if they want to follow live and enter their own scores — then they sign in and join your game with a code. Otherwise the Court Master can add anyone as a typed name, and they still play and appear in the schedule and standings.
Can players see the schedule and enter scores on their own phones?
Yes. After joining a game with a code, each player sees the live schedule and standings on their own phone and can enter their own scores. A score shows as "Pending" until a different player from that game (or the Court Master) verifies it — so no one can fake a score, and you can't verify your own.
What's the difference between the three formats?
Round Robin — Rotating gives you a new partner every round (individual standings). Round Robin — Set keeps one partner the whole match (team standings; needs an even number of players). King of the Court has winners move up a court and losers move down, partners split every game, and crowns whoever has the most wins.
What is King of the Court?
A format where winners move up a court and losers move down after each game, and partners always split. The player with the most wins across all courts is crowned King of the Court (points break ties).
How many players can I add?
Group Games support large rosters across multiple courts. Quick Game supports up to 2v2 (four players).
What scoring options are there?
Standard scoring (default to 11) or Rally scoring (default to 15), any target you choose, and Win by 2 (official USA Pickleball) or Straight up (first to the target wins).
Can I go back and fix a score?
Yes — scores can be edited after entry. You can also mark a game DNF (Did Not Finish), which records 0–0 and is excluded from standings, and undo a DNF or enter the real score later, even after the match is complete.
How does Quick Game work?
Quick Game lets you log scores during open play without setting up a full session. Choose singles or doubles, enter the score, optionally tag your partner and opponents, and save. After each game you can switch partners, keep the same partners, or start fresh — without re-entering names.
Will I lose my match if the app crashes or my phone dies?
No — live matches save to the cloud as you play. Reopen Kruva, go to My Games → Active, and tap Resume; your schedule, scores, and standings come right back.
Does Kruva work without internet?
You can keep scoring on a flaky connection — scores save on your device and sync automatically when you're back online, with no duplicates. Signing in and syncing across multiple phones do require a connection.
What tiebreaker rules does Kruva use?
USA Pickleball official tiebreakers (Rule 12.C.3): Wins → Head-to-head record → Point differential → Total points. DNF games are excluded from standings.
Is Kruva free?
Yes. Kruva is free to download and use. No subscription required to start.
