Paddle Sport
Pickleball
Run pickleball tournaments, ladders and socials on Tournado.
Pickleball blends tennis, badminton and table tennis. It is played on a badminton-sized court with a perforated plastic ball and solid paddles, and is easy to pick up at any age.
How Pickleball is played
Points are scored only by the serving side in traditional scoring, or by either side in rally scoring. The non-volley zone (the kitchen) stops players from smashing at the net.
Common formats
| Format | Players | Scoring |
|---|---|---|
| Doubles | 4 | Best of 3, to 11 (win by 2) |
| Singles | 2 | Best of 3, to 11 (win by 2) |
| Mixed doubles | 4 | Best of 3, to 11 (win by 2) |
