This is how you set up the pickleball tournament

One game to 11, the points in the table

In the setup the rating remains on points. You enter the final score, something like 11:7 or 15:13. Win to 1, lose to 0, there is no draw. Criteria: points, direct comparison, point difference. In the knockout round, only who wins counts. If you play best of 3 there, you enter the games you won, about 2:1.

Courts, classes and what not

Every court is a field. A game up to 11 takes up the court for around 15 to 20 minutes, a best of 3 takes around 45 minutes. You create game classes according to level or age, such as 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0. There is no connection to DUPR; the double chooses its class when registering. Rounds with changing partners are not possible. A double remains a team through the pool and knockout rounds.
