How to Edit Your pikel Profile

Your Pikel profile is how the rest of your club sees you — the name on the RSVP list, the face on the round board, the level that helps an organizer balance teams. Keeping it current takes about fifteen seconds.

Step 1 — Open your profile, then Edit profile

Tap your avatar on the Home screen. That opens your profile; tap the card with your name at the top to open Edit profile. (There's no Profile tab to look for: the bottom bar is Home, Games, Create, Chats and Clubs.)

Step 2 — Change your name

Name is the first field. This is the name every other player sees — on game invites, in club chats, on the leaderboard — so make it the name your pickleball crew would recognise.

One rule: you can't save a blank name. Empty the field and Save greys out until you put something back.

Step 3 — Add or change your photo

Tap the camera badge on your avatar at the top of Edit profile and pick an image; it uploads on the spot. If you already have a photo and want your initials back, tap Remove Photo.

Step 4 — Add your city

City is optional and is shown on your profile, so other players can tell where you usually play.

Step 5 — Set how you play

Three fields describe your game rather than your account:

• Gender — Male, Female or Not set. It's used for mixed formats: Mixed Doubles pairs one player from each side. Not set is fine.
• Skill level — see the next step.
• Play style — Singles, Doubles or Both.

Step 6 — Set your skill level

Skill level runs from 2.0 to 8.0 and snaps in 0.5 steps. It reads Unrated until you move it. Drag it to whatever honestly reflects your level. It's a self-rating to help organizers slot you into the right games, not a score anyone is keeping.

If you've linked DUPR, this looks different. The slider is replaced by your DUPR row and the note "Skill level comes from your DUPR". That's deliberate: once DUPR is connected, your official rating is your number. Not linked yet? The DUPR row under the slider connects it.

Step 7 — Save

Tap Save at the top. Pikel writes the change and your updated name, photo and level appear everywhere — the RSVP list, your club roster, chat. Tap Cancel instead and nothing changes.

Your email is shown on this screen with a lock: it can't be edited in the app. To change it, contact support from Profile → Help.

What isn't here

Language lives under Profile → Display & language, along with appearance and text size.

Pro tip

Fill in a real photo and an honest skill level before you RSVP to your first open game. Organizers use both to build balanced teams and to recognise you on the court — a blank avatar and an Unrated level make you a question mark to everyone sorting the round. And if you play rated matches, link DUPR instead of guessing: it's the one number other players actually trust.
