Pool Play

Each match in pool play will consist of the five games listed below. All five games are played for each match. A team can win 3-2, 4-1, or 5-0.

Each game is to 21 using Major League Pickleball’s rally scoring. Win by 2 points. You must win on your serve. The TeamMaker™ is like Major League Pickleball’s dream breaker, but in TeamMaker, teams play doubles rather than singles. The order is as follows: women’s doubles, men’s doubles, mixed team A, and mixed team B, and play continues until one team reaches 21 using rally scoring.

  • Two time-outs per game
  • Players on a team choose a side of the court to play – left or right.
  • Odd-even serving, i.e., the right-side player serves when the score is even, and the left-side player serves when the score is odd.
  • Unlike side-out scoring, the team will only get one complete serve. The team continues to alternate servers (odd/even) until they make an error, and then the opponents get the serve AND a point.
  • Players remain on their original sides of the court and may only change sides (right or left) after a time-out or during the side change after the first team reaches 11 points. Please let your opponents know you have switched to avoid confusion.

    • Play-offs

    Play-off seeding will be based on: 1st Wins and Losses
    2nd tie-breaker is head to head
    3rd tie-breaker is the total team score from all pool play matches

    Note: Games that extend beyond 21-19 (e.g., 24-22), will be scored as 21-19 in the standings.

    All proceeds from this non-profit event will benefit the courts and pickleball community. The proceeds will be used to provide free community clinics, paddles, balls, gear for everyone’s use, and other identified facility needs.
