League Fee - $25 - Please register on Global Pickleball Network, and pay the fee in cash to Zach Mueller.
League Organization - Individual sign up and players will be placed initially based on their DUPR rating. If DUPR rating isn’t available, best judgment will be used to place the player appropriately. This should allow similar levels of play beginning week 1.
Flexible Scheduling - The top player in each group each week will help coordinate time and location of play.
If the group cannot come to a consensus, games will be played at Soldier Spring Park on Saturday between 11 A.M. and 2 P.M.
Games should be recorded into DUPR and validated before leaving.
Top Player submits scores each week by Sunday at 8 P.M.
Format:
Ladder will be broken up into pools of 4 or 5 players each week.
Scheduled Matches will be input into Global Pickleball Network, and you can then coordinate with your group to play that week.
You will play 3 or 4 round robin games with a different partner each game and your individual points will be totaled.
Top two players (by points scored) in each pool move up in the ladder and bottom two players move down.

Rules:
If a group of 4 has a player that can’t make it that week it’s the responsibility of the absent player to find a substitute to fill in - preferably a player at the same skill level as the absent player. If a group of 5 has one player that can’t make it - play with 4.
The substitute's score will not count towards ladder movement. The absent player will move down 1 rung in the ladder.
Pools of 5 play 1 game to 11, win by 1 - switch sides at 6
