If you are unable to play you must cancel your session yourself by 10:00am the same day in order for waitlisted players to have time to come to the session. Late cancellations will incur a play pass deduction

Unrated Play in a Ladder format
A pickleball ladder is a self-leveling format where players start playing at their self-rated skill-level and then they try to move up and down the ladder based on their wins/losses. It is played in a random style in that every game teams switch partners, so there is no dominating teams.
A session coordinator will arrange the players based on skill level to begin this play session. After the each game, winners move up a court (ie. ladder rung), and losers move down a court, then players swap teams before playing the next game. Games are timed and highest points win or first to 11 points. Any extra time after an 11 pt game can be used for a rest break or continued practice/warm up time.
This format ensures consistent, competitive matches by continually adjusting player positions based on their performance throughout the session time.
This format of play requires even numbers of 4 players, so it is VERY IMPORTANT that If you are unable to play you must cancel your session yourself by 10:00am the same day in order for waitlisted players to have time to come to the session. Late cancellations will incur a play pass deduction
