Rules

TOURNAMENT SPECIFIC RULES

All players must complete the Calabasas Pickleball Club waiver, available HERE.  This must be completed before the tournament.

Eligibility / Team Rosters

This is intended to be an open doubles tournament for amateur high school players to promote high school pickleball play. Every player must be enrolled in high school.  Either before or at check in, each player must submit evidence of a valid high school photo ID.

Each team must consist of two players and can be coed or single-sex. No player can play for more than one team.

Entry fee is $40 per team.

Game Play

If a team is more than 2 minutes late to the start of a match, they will be defaulted and the team that is present shall advance.

The winner of rock-paper-scissors will have choice of serving first or receiving.

Each match will be a single game, with the winner being the first to reach 11 points (win by 1 or more).  Only the final Championship match will be best of 3 games, with each game played to 11, win by 2.

The current score should be called out loudly prior to service by the server.

Game Procedure

Each team shall be responsible for line calls on their own respective side in the early rounds (although an observing referee can always overrule any call). If any disagreements, players can call over a referee to arbitrate and/or watch the match for a period of time.  The referee’s decision in all matters is final.  For certain matches later in the tournament, if a referee is available to adjudicate the entire match, the referee will make all line calls.

Unsportsmanlike conduct by a player will result in that team receiving a warning.  After a second warning, the team will be ejected from the tournament.

After each match, scores must be promptly inputted into Swish app.

Tournament Seeding

Teams will be randomly assigned to groups.  The top two teams from each group will advance to the elimination round based on W-L record within the group.  In the event of ties, the tiebreaker will be determined based on following criteria in order:  1. head-to-head result, 2. point differential, 3. virtual coin toss determined by Swish App.

General

All teams must adhere to the rules of our host venue Calabasas Pickleball Club.  The rules are available HERE.

All other rules are customary pickleball rules as outlined in USA PICKLEBALL’S 2026 OFFICIAL RULEBOOK
