  • Time: 6.15pm to 7.45pm (can go later to cater for 6 per court)
  • Location: Moonah Sports Centre Court 1 (blue court)

Eligibility

This league is a NSHPC member benefit.

League software

We will be using Pickleball.com software for this league.

·         This is the software that is used to run pickleball tournaments such as Australian and Tasmanian Championships.  

·         The software will generate the groups and matches each week.  Players will be able to use the app to see games and enter scores for each game.

·         Scores will go towards player ratings on DUPR.

Requirements

Members will need to have:

·         DUPR account (Pickleball rating software)

·         Pickleball.com account (please see attachment 1 for instructions)

Format

·         Up to 6 people per court

·         The software will create 4 groups each night and each person will play with and against all the people in their group (called a scramble)

·         Each game is played to 11 win by 2

·         Winners go up and losers go down in following weeks.

Co-ordinators

Season 1 will be run by Kerri Philpott and Melissa Carlton

Payment

For the first couple of weeks, players will need to pay on the night.  We will have it all linked up so that you can pay online but we're not quite there yet!

How will it work?

(after members have created their accounts)

After members have created their DUPR and Pickleball.com account:

1.      Members will first need to join the League Session 1 (this is the equivalent of a “season”)

2.      Each week members can “opt in” to play.  Spots will open at a set time each week.  There is no requirement to play each week.

3.      When the game day closes off, the tournament software will autogenerate the groups and scoresheets.
