Like many clubs, this local pickleball facility was running traditional open play sessions at ~$15 per player. While this worked, they knew there was untapped potential in their court space and player base. They needed a solution that would:
- Boost revenue without requiring more staff
- Create engaging events that players would love
- Streamline tournament management
- Keep players coming back consistently
The Solution: Quke-Powered Crazy 8s Events
Using Quke’s automated tournament platform, the club launched four weekly Crazy 8s events:
- Wednesday: 54 players
- Friday: 45 players
- Saturday afternoon: 36 players
- Saturday evening: 45 players
The platform enabled them to:
- Import players from their existing system with one click
- Automatically create balanced groups and court assignments
- Let players view matches and report scores on their phones
- Track real-time standings throughout each event
The Results
- Players willingly pay $30 for Crazy 8s (double the open play price)
- Events consistently sell out
- Additional $2,100 weekly revenue ($8,400+ monthly)
