Pickleball Doubles Ladder

Coming this spring!

This is a six-week ladder event. First week will be a random draw. Based on your results, you will be placed on courts with players of similar skill level. Players will move up or down the ladder based upon their results. Each week, players will be placed in groups of 4 in the order of their ranking on the ladder for match play.

Games are played to 15 points. First team to reach 15 points wins. Each week, players will be placed in groups of 4 in the order of their ranking on the ladder for match play.

All players will play three games in a round robin fashion with the other three players of the foursome. At the start of the game, players will decide which team serves first and choice of side. Players change sides at 8 points to minimize the effect of the sun, wind, or other factors that may affect outdoor play.

If courts have 5 players, games will be played to 11 points, switch at 6 points, allowing each player to have a bye round.

You are expected to play every week unless you inform the scheduler that you will be absent one week before the event. Absences will result in a zero score.  No subs will be required.

This program will be held at the Drake Sport Park Pickleball courts.

In case of rain and the course is cancelled, please check Drake sheets with 30 minutes before class.
