Exciting Update to Our League Format!
The PPL is bringing Pickleball leagues to the masses. You don’t have to be in a club, you don’t have to change your schedule, you just have to want to play pickleball!
We are thrilled to announce a new and improved format for our league, designed to provide flexibility and competitive fun for all participants. Here’s how it works:
- Team Structure: Each team will consist of two players.
- Weekly Matches: Your team will play against three other teams every week. The matches will be held weekly on specific weekday evenings at a set time and location.
- Season Duration: The league duration will range between 8-12 weeks.
- Flexible Participation: The PPL provides unparalleled flexibility, enabling players to sign up at any time and participate in any of the 12-week season. This allows you to play only during the weeks that suit your schedule.
- Scoring and Standings: With a focus on total points, the more you play, the higher you can climb in the standings. This system rewards consistent participation and encourages players to engage fully throughout the season.
- Uploading Scores: Each team is responsible for reporting their scores within 48 hours of their matches. Report any discrepancies.
- Season Finale: At the end of the season, the top 4 teams will compete in a round-robin tournament to determine the league champions!
We’re excited about this new format and can’t wait to see you all in action. Sign up now and get ready for a season of fun, flexibility, and fierce competition!
