Screening is the feature PicklPass was born from, and it's the one most of you already use. But "using it" usually means pasting a list and checking a rating floor, and that's a fraction of what it does. The rest is where the real time savings (and fairer sessions) live.
A quick refresher
Tools → Session Eligibility. Paste a list of names, and PicklPass checks each player against your club's rules and their DUPR data, then sorts everyone into clear tiers. Approved, Waitlist, Reject, and more, with a plain-English reason for each. No spreadsheets, no manual lookups.
Here's the half most clubs skip.
1. Rating tolerance, stop rejecting your borderline players
A hard rating floor is blunt: a 3.48 gets rejected from your 3.5 session even though nobody could tell the difference on court. Set a tolerance band (say 0.25) and that player is waitlisted, not rejected, a judgment call you can make, instead of an automatic no. You keep your level honest without turning away the people right on the line.
2. Reliability, catch the rating that isn't really a rating
DUPR ratings vary in how much match data backs them. A "4.2" built on 8 games is a coin flip. Add a minimum reliability rule and PicklPass flags those players separately, Waitlist (Reliability), so you can admit them case-by-case instead of seeding a session on a number that hasn't settled. This is the single most under-used rule, and it's the one that prevents the "how is that person a 4.2?" complaints.
3. Saved parameter sets, screening in one click
Stop re-typing your rules every week. Save a parameter set per program, "4.0+ Ladder," "Beginner Social," "Advanced Night", and screening a new signup list becomes a single click: Load, paste, done. PicklPass even seeds a few starter sets you can adapt.
4. Exemptions, for the players the rules get wrong
Every club has them: a strong returning member whose DUPR is stale, a coach, a hand-vetted newcomer. Mark a player Exempt from screening on their record and they skip the rules entirely, and you can set a provisional rating and reliability so they screen predictably instead of getting auto-waitlisted for thin data. Set it once; it applies every time.
Then act on it
Every run gives you a Copy button (a shareable text summary for the group chat) and Export CSV (the full table). Screen the list, copy the approved names, paste into your announcement, the whole "who's in this week" ritual in under a minute.
Why it's worth the ten minutes to set up
Clubs that lean on tolerance, reliability, and saved sets stop having the two arguments that kill league nights: "why am I not allowed in?" and "why is this session so lopsided?" You get fairer sessions and a faster workflow.
