GVR Pickleball Club Intramural League Play Format and Scoring
Games are played to 21 with rally scoring. (After each rally a team scores a point) Win by 1 point.
Prior to play, each player will choose a side to play on. Either right or left. They will remain in these positions until a team reaches 11 and teams change ends. At that time, if the players wish to change sides for the remainder of the game, they may do so.
Easy way to remember who is serving: The right side player will serve when their team’s score is even. The left side player will serve when their team’s score is odd.
Rally scoring for both teams will continue until a team reaches 20 points. At that time the team with 20 points score will freeze and the final point must be won on that team’s serve. The opposing team will continue to score at rally scoring unless they reach 20 points as well. In this case where both teams have 20 points, the first team to reach 21 on their serve will win the game.
Each 6 team member should have the opportunity to play. In the event they cannot due to whatever reason, the team captain can/should make substitutions when necessary.
Each team will have 2 time outs if needed.
If any questions arise, please have your Team Captain contact me directly.
