Why is PICKCR different?
On PICKCR, an Open Play is never built from scratch: the organizer selects the players, taps a button, and the system takes it from there. That "one click, and play" approach sums up exactly what the platform is built for — taking the complexity off the organizer's hands.
No apps required
Nothing to download. Everything runs from a web app, accessible from any browser, on desktop, tablet, or phone.
Start playing in seconds
PICKCR already has an engine that includes most players in Costa Rica. The organizer selects the participants and, with one click, generates the event.
Automatic setup
If the players already exist in PICKCR's database, the organizer just selects them and the system automatically generates the matches — no one needs to be manually added before playing. This is, for us, one of the biggest differentiators compared to other platforms: the system creates the matchups, keeps the standings, publishes results in real time, and, when applicable, updates DUPR automatically.
Sign-up via link
The organizer shares a link and players register easily, with no phone calls, WhatsApp lists, or screenshots involved. Registration takes two steps: the player opens the link and signs in with their Google account — simple and fast.
Official DUPR integration
Results are sent to DUPR and the official rating updates automatically, with no manual steps.
Real-time results
Players and spectators can follow the tournament from a public URL, watching matches, results, and standings update live.
League-style standings
Beyond each individual match, PICKCR keeps a running standings table for the whole Open Play.
Specialized algorithms
A purpose-built matchmaking algorithm for Round Robin Express (RRE), plus direct integration with DUPR's rating logic.
Google's infrastructure
The platform runs on Google's infrastructure, with high availability, security, and room to grow without changing the underlying architecture.
Built for speed
The entire experience was designed to minimize steps. The organizer spends less time administering, and more time playing.
