Message to Teams
Welcome to the second event in Coca-Cola Southern PIckleball Team League. Thanks for your participation.
We have a new team format that we know you will enjoy. The format utilizes the total team scores from all the team’s matches to determine standings for playoffs. Points matter! The strategy is to win big and lose small.
Study the rules carefully and make sure all your team members are briefed ahead of time. Practicing the scoring system will give you a leg up on those that don’t. Send any questions you may have ahead of time to: brett@southernpickleball.com.
The rules are below. Please share them with your team members.

The waiver form is online and your team members must agree with the terms if they play in the event. These waivers are standard for all tournaments. Please send this link to your team.
Completion of this waiver will be verified at sign-in.
Dress Code – No yellow shirts or tops. The rules are clear on this point.
We are collecting $10 to pay for the July 14 and 15 events.
We have 2 Brackets:
50+ - All Skill-levels
Under 49 - All Skill-levels
Format and Rules
Pool Play
- One game to 21, rally scoring, win by 2
- Switch sides at 12 points
- Two time-outs per game
- Substitutions are allowed only during a side switch at 12 points (max of 1 per game) or any time for an injured player
- Players on a team choose a side of the court to play – left or right.
- Odd-even serving, i.e., the right-side player serves when the score is even, the left-side player serves when the score is odd
- Unlike side-out scoring, the team will only get one server. The team continues to alternate servers (odd/even) until they make an error, then the opponents get the serve and a point
- Freeze scores at 20 for the leading team and 18 for the lagging team
- Teams must win the match on a serve, not an error
- Players do not switch playing positions with their partners
- If players choose to switch playing positions they may use a time-out and let the opponents know of the switch and may switch at the side change – limit 3 position switches per game
- Play-off seeding will be based on the total team score from all pool play matches
- Point spreads matter for seeding!
Note: Games that extend beyond 21-19 (e.g., 24-22), will be scored as 21-19 in the standings
This prevents 2 teams from running up their total scores with a high-scoring, long match (e.g., 32-30 would give both teams an extra 11 points in total score).

UPDATE: Captains submit a designated team before each match. Teams can change throughout the day and in playoffs. There are no restrictions on changing teams and subs.
