Playing Format
The playing format may be adjusted at the discretion of the Tournament Director.
Standings will be determined by the number of matches won. There will be playoffs as well for those who finish in the top 4 in each division.
Games to 11, teams will switch sides when either team reaches 6 points.
Each team will be allowed one timeout per game (one minute).
Court entry/exit etiquette: Please be courteous by waiting for a stoppage in play and entering/exiting as a group (i.e. all 4 players).
All other USAPA Rules will be in effect.
Referees
There will NOT be referees during the matches. You will referee your own matches. We expect good sportsmanship at all times in this area.
Guidelines for calls: line calls should be made by team receiving the ball, and should ONLY be called out if the ball is CLEARLY seen as out. If a player is unsure of the call, they should assume the ball was in, and continue playing. If the hitting team sees a ball out, they can also call it out on themselves. Either team can make calls on service faults or non-volley zone faults, and the hitting team is expected to call faults on themselves or their partner.
We appreciate your help to make this event a fun experience. If there are any problems, players involved may be disqualified from participating in future In and Out Pickleball LLC events.
Weather
We're indoors so no worries about the weather!
