v1.4.0/Late October 2026/Scoreboard & Roster Sync

TV Queue Synchronization, Blinking Beacon Timers & Smart Roster Import

A major update ensuring the TV scoreboard always reflects the exact court lineup chosen on the host controller, plus real-time blinking match timers and one-click confirmed player filtering for Reclub and Sports360.

Exact TV Matchup Synchronization

The courtside TV scoreboard now mirrors the exact pairings shown on the host tablet (using smart queue lookahead). When an organizer swaps or edits a match, the big screen updates instantly.

Blinking Beacon & Live Court Timers

Replaced static labels with a pulsing green beacon and real-time elapsed timer on every court card, letting players see exactly how long each match has been running from across the venue.

Smart Roster Filter for Reclub & Sports360

When importing players from open play signups, PickleLobby now automatically checks 'Confirmed' players first while keeping waitlisted and invited members easily searchable with a toggle.

Ultra-Smooth Ball Animation

Re-engineered the interactive courtside pickleball physics (with low-pass frame rate smoothing) to run fluidly across mobile phones, budget tablets, and 4K TV displays without battery drain.
