Backyard Pickleball Playoffs

The BPL Playoffs will be a single-elimination format. The first team to score the match-winning point by at least a two-point margin wins.

In addition to the Championship, there will be a third place match between the runner-up teams from each conference.

Match Format

  • Matches are best three of five games.

  • Games are to 11 points, win by two points.

  • If a match is tied two game to two game, the fifth game will be played to 15 points.

  • Each team is entitled to one (1) time-out per game. Each time-out period may last up to one (1) minute. 

  • A maximum of two (2) minutes is allowed between games.

  • The higher seed will be on "hoop side" and serve first the first game.

  • Teams will switch sides each game.

  • Rebuttal shots are available to losing teams that did not serve first.

​

​

  • Due to the variability of match lengths, only one match time will be given per day - the start time of the first match. 

  • Arrival time is at the discretion of each player, especially those not playing in the first match.

  • Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the start of the first game each day. 

  • There will be a maximum of 10 minutes between matchups.

  • A one-point penalty will be assessed for each minute that a team is late for their match, resulting in a forfeit after 11 minutes.

  • Spectating players are encouraged to assist with line calls.
