| 4-Player Team Format
| Weekly Matchups
| Flexible Scheduling
Entry fee: $25/player + court fee (guests)
Welcome to the league where the games are competitive, the scheduling is flexible,
and the excuses are already warming up
This league is built to give players a structured, competitive team play —
without requiring everyone to coordinate their lives like a NASA launch.
LEAGUE (SEASON) FORMAT (**8-weeks + 3-week Playoffs)
** — season length will depend on number of teams in the division —
Each team will:
- Play 1 opposing team per week
- Play 6 games (1 men’s & 1 women’s doubles, 4 mixed doubles)
- Complete all matches within the assigned weekly timeframe
- ALL teams make the Playoffs
WEEKLY SCHEDULING
Each week, teams are responsible for:
- Reaching out to their opponents
- Finding a day and time that works
- Booking their own court
This league runs on a flexible schedule, which means:
- Play anytime during the week
- All matches must be completed before the weekly deadline
(in any case something comes up and needs to be rescheduled, NO WORRIES! Simply get your matches in when you can) - Connect with all teams in your division to check availability
- The weekly matchups are NOT LOCKED IN— play whichever team in your division is available
- By the end of the season, every team will have played each team in their division
COORDINATE. PLAY. REPEAT.
(Yes… basically adulting with paddles.)
SUBSTITUTIONS
If a player can’t attend:
- A substitute player is absolutely allowed
- Substitutes should be:
- Similar in playing level
- Fun to play with
- Not your secretly retired pro cousin visiting from Florida
The goal is to keep matches competitive, fair, and moving forward without turning league night into a trade deadline frenzy.
Substitutions are intended for occasional absences — not roster engineering worthy of an NHL front office.
SCORE SUBMISSION
Once all games are completed:
- WINNING team is responsible for submitting scores
- Scores should be submitted before the weekly deadline
Please ensure:
- Scores are accurate
- Results are clearly recorded
- Both teams agree on the submitted scores
STANDINGS & TIE-BREAKS
Standings will be updated weekly based on:
- Win/Loss
- Total POINTS awarded (Win = 3pts, Loss = 1pt)
- Point Differential (PF/PA)
So yes… that “one extra point” actually matters now.
SCORING
EACH Game:
- Regular scoring with each game is played to 11, win by 2, — NO CAP
PLAYOFFS & STANDINGS RULES
Final standings will be based on the results completed during the **8-week league season.
If a team is unable to complete all of their scheduled matches within the 8-week league period, no additional points will be awarded for any unplayed games.
In that case, the division standings will remain as they are at the end of the deadline, and the playoff schedule will be released based on those final standings.
SPORTMENSHIP & EXPECTATIONS
This league is designed to provide:
- Competitive but enjoyable play
- Fair matchups
- Consistent weekly games
- A fun team atmosphere
- Avoid unnecessary drama over plastic balls
- Example: If you’re not laughing, you’re not playing it right 😉
At the end of the day, we’re all here because we love pickleball.
