About this event

INTERMEDIATE OPEN PLAY

For players at the 3.0–3.5 level. This session is designed for players who can sustain rallies, keep score confidently, and are developing stronger court positioning, third-shot choices, resets, and kitchen-line consistency. Fun, moderately competitive, and perfect for players looking for balanced games within a consistent level.

Session Details

Format: Leveled Open Play

Skill Level: Pickleball Intermediate (3.0–3.5)

How It Works:

Game Scoring: Games are played to a hard 11 — first to 11 wins (no win by 2 required).

Shared Rack Setup: Two racks are designated for the session: one for Winners and one for Runners-Up.

Paddle Queue: After each game, winners place their paddles in the Winners rack, and runners-up place their paddles in the Runners-Up rack.

Court Rotation: A magnet shows which rack sends the next foursome onto the next available court, flipping to the other rack each round.

Partner Mixing: New game, new partners. Split from your last partner and team up with someone you haven't played with yet.

Multi-Court Play: If the session uses multiple courts, the same two racks are shared across all assigned courts for that level.

Important: Choosing partners or staying in a fixed group is not permitted during any social open play session.

Level Expectations

To maintain high-quality and balanced match play, this session is for players within the Intermediate 3.0–3.5 range.

Recommended Rating: DUPR, club rating, or playing level equivalent to 3.0–3.5.
