FAQs

A casual, friendly doubles pickleball league. Teams of two play a weekly round-robin, report their scores, and the top teams make a playoff bracket at the end of the season.

A season runs several weeks of round-robin play followed by a playoff bracket. The exact length is set each season and announced at the start.

Fill out the sign-up form. You can sign up with a partner (enter their info and you’re set as a team) or as a free agent if you don’t have one yet.

Yes. Sign up as a free agent and the organizer will pair you with another player, matched by skill level where possible.

No. You’re not a website user — we email you personal links (“magic links”) that take you straight to your forms. The link is your key, so don’t forward your league emails to anyone else.

Yes — each link is personal to you and your team and expires after about two weeks. If a link ever stops working, just ask us to resend it.

Links are good for about 14 days. If yours has expired, contact us and we’ll send a fresh one.

Each week the system pairs teams into matches using a round-robin, keeping games competitive by matching similar skill levels and avoiding repeat opponents where it can.

Enter your honest rating. It’s used to keep matchups fair — far-apart skill levels won’t be paired against each other.

Each league week runs Monday through Sunday.

You’ll get a digest email Monday morning with your opponent for the week, their contact info, and your links to report the score.

Each player submits their availability for the upcoming week. When all four players have submitted, the system finds your overlapping free times and emails both teams a suggested day, time, and court.

A quick form (sent to you by link) where you check off the days and time slots you’re free next week and pick your preferred court(s). Fill it out each week.

Once all four players submit, it looks for a shared open window (at least an hour long), preferring the earliest day with the longest overlap, and a court you both like.

The system waits until all four are in before suggesting a time. If someone hasn’t submitted, we’ll send a reminder nudge mid-week.

Absolutely. The suggested time is only there to make life easier — play whenever works for both teams, then report the score.

You set court preferences on the availability form. The system suggests a court both teams prefer, but you’re free to choose any spot you both agree on.

If all four submit and there’s no shared time, both teams get an email with three options: defer the match to next week (once), take a mutual bye (no game this week), or call it an even 0–0.

It pushes your match to the following week instead of playing it now. A match can be deferred once.

Use the “Can’t play next week” link (it’s in your weekly digest). That flags your team for a bye that week.

A week off with no match. A bye doesn’t count for or against you in the standings.

You’ll get an email asking if you still want a game. If you do, we try to find you a replacement opponent (the “marketplace,” below). If you’d rather not, both teams take a bye that week.

When a team can’t play, their match opens up for another team to claim. Teams already on a bye that week get first dibs for 24 hours; after that, it opens to any available team until the Sunday deadline.

If you were on a bye that week, it counts as your real match. If you already had a match and you’re just claiming extra play, it’s a friendly — it counts for your opponent but not against your own record.

You can submit a reschedule request and the organizer will sort it out. For most timing issues, the weekly availability flow already handles picking a new time.

No — every playoff round is win-or-go-home. If a team can’t play a playoff match, it’s forfeited to the higher seed.

One team enters the score using the “Report Score” link from the Monday digest. The other team then confirms it.

Best 2 out of 3 games to 11, win by 2.

No — just one team reports, and the other team confirms (or disputes) it.

You’ll get a link to review it. One click to confirm, or flag it if something’s off.

Use the dispute option on the confirmation page and tell us what’s off. The organizer will follow up to sort it out.

Scores are due by Sunday at 10 PM.

If a match has no score by the Sunday deadline, it’s automatically recorded as a tie (0–0) so the season keeps moving. Both teams get a heads-up email when that happens.

Same thing: with no score by Sunday 10 PM it becomes an auto-tie. If you knew ahead of time, blocking the week for a bye is the cleaner option.

By wins, with ties counting as a half-win. Teams are ranked by total wins, then by point differential (points scored minus points allowed), then alphabetically.

A tie counts as half a win toward your record and your win percentage.

Byes don’t count either way. A forfeit is recorded as a two-game loss for the team that couldn’t play and a win for their opponent.

The top 8 teams in the standings.

It’s a single-elimination bracket — quarterfinals, then semifinals, then the final — seeded by regular-season standings (higher seeds play lower seeds).

Playoffs begin right after the regular season ends. Once they start, the regular-season standings are locked in.

You can submit a partner-change request (there’s a link in your welcome email) and the organizer will help arrange it.

Let us know — we’ll help you find a new partner or sort out your team’s schedule.

Contact us and we’ll mark you inactive. Your remaining matches are handled so your opponents aren’t left hanging.

Court preferences update every week on the availability form. To change your email or phone, get in touch.

A Monday morning digest (your matchup + score links), a mid-week availability reminder if you haven’t submitted, a Friday reminder before the Sunday deadline, and a note if your match auto-ties.
