- Start date: 10/8.
- League Nights: 10/8, 10/15, 10/29, 11/5, 11/12, 11/19, 12/3 and 12/10 (skipping 10/22 and 11/22).
- Time: the league will run 6 - 10pm on Tuesday nights and you will get one hour of court time per night.
- You can miss any number of league nights - your ranking will not be negatively impacted as long as you communicate to us that you cannot attend (we send a weekly email asking who is out the following week).
Structure of League
We have a dynamic ladder format to ensure skill-based matching. After signing up, you will fill out a survey to give us a sense of how good you are at pickleball. Skill level for this league ranges from DUPR 5.0 to people that have never played before (we will help teach you). We use self-reported ratings to put together initial rankings and the schedule for week 1 and then you will move up / down the ladder based on your results.
While you can sign up with friends, you will operate as an individual. Our overall goal is to provide competitive matches and for league members to meet new people in their city!
League Nights
On a given night, you will play either 6-7pm, 7-8pm, 8-9pm, or 9-10pm. We randomize times so you'll likely have start times that vary. Our Colorado Springs league will have roughly 100 players and the best 4 people play together, the second best 4 play together, so on and so forth.
In your group of 4, you play a game to 15 points with each person (so 3 games total). After each night, you input your total points won (out of a possible 45 points). So, if you win two games and lose one 10-15, you would input 40 points. Top 2 in each group of 4 move up in the ladder (1st place more than 2nd) and the bottom two players move down in the ladder.
Fun fact: our leagues in other cities have resulted in many friendships and several romantic dates!!
