If you run a lot of round robins, here’s a great way to keep doing that for free. Starting today, any session that requires Pickleheads Plus no longer counts against your monthly round robin usage.
Flip one toggle and you can run as many round robins as you want.
You can already get free Pickleheads Pro if you have enough players signing up with Pickleheads Plus accounts. But this method is better for organizers who don’t want to track sign-ups or have smaller groups that won't hit those thresholds.
Just gate the sessions, and you have unlimited free use of our most popular feature.
What “unlimited for free” actually means
When you turn on the "require Pickleheads Plus" feature for a session, that specific session’s round robin usage is waived and won't count toward your limits on any plan.
Players get all the benefits of Plus, and you get unlimited round robins without changing how you run your group.
Where to find the Plus-requirement toggle
The setting lives inside session creation under Advanced Settings. Navigate to:
New Game → Round Robin → Choose Format → Advanced Settings → Pickleheads Plus (toggle On)
Step 1 — Create your session
Set your title, date/time, location, player cap and format.
Step 2 — Open Advanced Settings
Scroll to the bottom of the creation form and expand Advanced Settings. You’ll see Pickleheads Plus with a simple toggle.
Step 3 — Toggle “Pickleheads Plus” On
Turning this on adds a clear banner to your session page and places the Plus requirement at the top of the signup page. Players without Plus will be prompted to upgrade before they can RSVP. Once upgraded, they gain access to the session.
Step 4 — Publish (or edit an existing session)
Save your session. If you already had a session live, just edit it, flip the toggle, and click save. Usage will be waived for that session going forward.
Step 5 — Communicate to players
Add one line to your description and post a quick note in your group chat so nobody’s confused. The Plus requirement allows players to chip in and cover the software you use to run your sessions.
Good to know: you can edit existing sessions and turn the toggle on after the fact. You don't have to create anything from scratch to get this benefit.
When to use Plus-required sessions
This path is most useful if you:
- Run multiple round robins a week and don’t want to watch usage.
- Have a smaller group but run frequent sessions
- Don't want to charge players directly: we collect from players so you don't have to
Get started
You don’t need to change how you run your program. Just turn this one setting on, and you're good to go. Run the round robins you want, as often as you want, usage-free.
- Create a Round Robin now and flip Pickleheads Plus to On (Advanced Settings).
- Edit any existing round robin to enable the toggle.
- Communicate the update to players and let your games run as usual.
