🏆 HOW IT WORKS

• Players are initially allocated to one of four courts based on their DUPR rating, reliability score, self-rating and organiser assessment to help create balanced groups.

• Each court has 5 players competing in a rotating-partner scramble format over 10 rounds.

• Every player will play 8 games and have 2 byes across the 10 rounds. During each game, four players compete in doubles while the fifth player has a bye. Partners rotate throughout the session, allowing players to experience different match-ups while accumulating individual points.

• After Round 5, players move between courts based on their individual accumulated points from the first five rounds.

🔼 Move up:

- Court 4 → Court 3: 1 player
- Court 3 → Court 2: 1 player
- Court 2 → Court 1: 1 player

🔽 Move down:

- Court 1 → Court 2: 1 player
- Court 2 → Court 3: 1 player
- Court 3 → Court 4: 1 player

The second half gives players fresh match-ups and the opportunity to challenge themselves against different opponents, with court movements based on their performance.

📊 COURT RANKINGS

🥇 Court 1: Highest-ranked players
🥈 Court 2: Upper-middle group
🥉 Court 3: Lower-middle group
🎾 Court 4: Lowest-ranked players

Initial court placement considers DUPR ratings and reliability, alongside self-ratings and organiser assessment. A DUPR reliability score of 60% or higher is preferred when using a player's DUPR rating for placement.

Players with lower reliability scores or no DUPR rating can still participate. Their placement will take into account their self-rating and the organiser's assessment to help create balanced and competitive groups.

🔄 COURT SIDE SWAPS

One end of the court has a wall closer to the baseline, potentially creating a disadvantage for players playing at that end.

To help keep matches fair, players may swap ends when a team reaches 5 points. This is optional and should be agreed upon by the players on court.

🏓 EQUIPMENT & COURT SETUP

• Tournament-grade Onix Fuse Indoor Pickleballs will be used for all matches.

• A dedicated blue pickleball line marks the kitchen line (non-volley zone line), clearly identifying the correct kitchen boundary and distinguishing it from the existing badminton court markings.

📱 IMPORTANT — DUPR & RECLUB

Please ensure your Reclub profile is connected to your DUPR account if you have one. This helps ensure your results can be accurately recorded and submitted to DUPR.

If you're not yet DUPR-rated, or your reliability score is low, please ensure your self-rating accurately reflects your current playing ability to help with appropriate court placement.

Whether you're establishing your first DUPR rating or looking for competitive games, come along, challenge yourself and be part of the iDINK pickleball community!
