Live scoring
Real-time match scoring that streams instantly to every spectator — no refresh, no lag.
Product overview
An ongoing realtime sports community & tournament management platform for Pickleball and Badminton — where players organize tournaments, track scores live, watch streams, and analyze their performance across web and mobile.
Pickelton brings Pickleball and Badminton communities together across a React Native mobile app and a Next.js web experience. Players register, create and manage clubs, spin up tournaments, schedule matches and follow brackets, all in one place.
The project is ongoing, with the heart of the product built around realtime: live scoring streams to every viewer instantly, leaderboards update as matches play out, and different services stay synchronized through Redis caching and Redis pub/sub events.
Behind it all sits a Java 21 backend, JWT authentication, PostgreSQL data storage, WebSockets for realtime scoring, and a Golang live-streaming layer using WebRTC and HLS.
