In their own words
Clutch Sports
Clutch Sports provides recording, highlights and match analytics for sports played on Clutch-enabled courts. Players scan a court QR code to start recording through venue-connected cameras, then access footage in the app. The Player app includes recordings, highlight reels, analytics, a sporting profile and tournament registration. Analytics can include serve speed, rally count and win patterns; Clutch Cams also describes shot effectiveness, insights and tips through its PB Vision integration. Automatically generated highlights and analytics are paid add-ons, and their completeness and accuracy are not guaranteed. Separate venue and referee apps cover court recordings, payouts, manager access, digital tosses, scoring and match management. Clutch Compete provides event listings, category management, formats, scheduling, live scoring and post-game analytics. Venues can stream matches and tournaments to YouTube, with referee scoring overlaid on tournament streams. Clutch supports pickleball, padel, tennis and badminton on Android, iOS and web. Paid features are priced in the app; a platform fee may apply.
