League Games
For each week's events, the league officials will allocate all players who are available that week to
either Monday or Thursday night depending on the player's position on the ladder.
The first 20 available players who are at the top of the ladder are assigned to play on Monday nights.
The next 20 available players are assigned to play on Thursday nights.
If there are 4 players assigned to a court, each player partners with each of the
other three players twice (6 games total).
If there are 5 players assigned to a court, the partners for each game are determined
by the player rotation matrix found on the back of the provided score-sheet clipboard
(10 rounds/games total; 8 games per player). Also shown here:
Events typically finish between 9:45pm and 10:15pm.
All games are played according to the 2022 USA Pickleball rulebook.
Each side may take one 1-minute timeout per game.
There will be no referees or lines people.
All calls must be made according to 2022 USA Pickleball rules by the 4 players on the court only.
Please bear in mind that this league is intended to be challenging, but fun.
We have no desire to penalize any individual player for unacceptable behavior, but we will if necessary.
A league offical will provide the pickleballs for each event.
Events will generally use Dura Fast 40 Yellow or Neon Green pickleballs, but if a match is expected to be played near or below 50 degrees F,
the more durable Franklin X-40 Yellow pickleballs may be substituted. League Score Sheets
For each event, a league official will provide a score sheet for each court.
One (1) score sheet will be used per court to record the scores for all games played by the players assigned to that court.
At the end of the event, the completed score sheet must be returned to the league official.
If a player becomes injured and is unable to complete a game, the current game and all subsequent games involving the injured player are scored as if the opposing team won every point from that point on. Inclement Weather
If the weather conditions for an event would severely impact the result or compromise the safety of the players,
the event will be cancelled by a league official by 3pm on the day of the event.
Recommended guidelines that justify cancelling an event:
• Rain - any amount that makes the courts slick/dangerous
Event cancellations will be re-scheduled, thus extending the end of the season. League Organization and Communication
We use the free TeamLinkt (
https://www.teamlinkt.com)
online software and mobile app to organize, schedule, communicate, and track league play results.
We use TeamLinkt to send every registered player an email that details how to install the TeamLinkt app on mobile devices. League Liability Release Form
