Mixed Teams

League Night

Join us at The Pickleball Playground for our inaugural Saturday Team League! It's like Major League Pickleball without the exorbitant salaries!

7 Regular Season Weeks + 1 Week of Playoffs

Fees: Members $70 per season
Non- Members $150 per season ($10 non-member fee per week applies)

(At least 2 of the players must be female)

Free Agents - If you don't have a team, you can register as a free agent. Placement is on a first come first serve basis depending on availability.


HOW IT WORKS

5-6 Person Co-Ed teams (Minimum 2 women per team) compete in four-game matches, played as follows:
Game 1: Women’s Doubles
Game 2: Men’s Doubles
Games 3 & 4: Mixed Doubles
Games to 21 with rally scoring (a point is earned after every rally, whether it was won by the serving or receiving team).
Win by 1 except in a Dreambreaker (tiebreak) match; then, win by 2.
A Dreambreaker match occurs when teams are tied 2-2 after 4 games have been played. This will be a Mixed Doubles match with teams switching at 11. The same mixed teams must play in the tiebreaker in the same order they played their pool matches.
There’s a scoring freeze at 20 points: once a team reaches 20, it can only win on its serve.
Each team requires a team captain.
Two timeouts of up to one minute in duration are allowed per game.


RULES

Only the players on the court will make line calls.
Lineup sheets need to be filled out prior to the first match.
Each team is responsible for finding their own subs.
Teams are required to submit their subs to league coordinators prior to game day.
Teams are allowed last-minute ‘same day’ subs if they are on the approved sub list.
Subs must have a rating comparable to whom they are subbing for.
Teams are only allowed a maximum of 2 subs per game day.
If a team player is a no-show, they can play someone at a higher level or from
another team but the games don’t count, and it shows as a forfeit.

HOW IT WORKS

All players sign up individually and rotate partners each night. Each player is assigned a court to begin the night on with 3 other players. You then play 3 matches, rotating partners each match. By the end of the 3 matches, you will have played with each of the other players on the court. All scores are tallied and each player ends up with points based on their total of the scores from the three matches. Ranking is based on this point system and after the 3 matches, the two players with the most points move up a court, and the two players with the lowest points move down a court.

After each week, a ranking will be created based on each player's points. This ranking will determine court assignments for the following week, with the final week being playoffs.


RULES

Only the players on the court will make line calls.
Each player is allowed a max of 2 subs during the duration of the 8 weeks. Each player is responsible for finding their own subs.
Subs must have a rating comparable to whom they are subbing for.
