Pickleball Court Etiquette
When entering or leaving the court thru a gate shared with an adjacent court, wait until any ongoing rally is finished on that adjacent court before going thru the gate.
If a ball comes onto your court from an adjacent court, stop play by calling “ball” and pick up the loose ball. Ask the people on the adjacent court who gets the ball, and then hit or throw it back to that person as best you can. Conversely, if you are the person on the adjacent court who wants the ball back, please raise your hand or your paddle so they know to whom to return the ball.
Before serving the ball to your opponents, make sure the receiver is ready. Call out the score, and identify your server number, so they know you are ready to serve. Pause a moment before serving to allow time to deal with any disagreement as to the proper score.
Line calls are the responsibility of the receiving side. You should not call faults or other line calls on the other side of the net unless asked to do so. If you are on the receiving team and your partner calls a ball out that you think may have been in, tell your partner you disagree and attempt to resolve the disagreement between you. If your team cannot agree on the line call, then the call goes in favor of your opponents. If an erroneous line call interferes with a player’s play, then the point should be replayed.
Control Your Temper - Foul or abusive language, or unsportsmanlike gloating or laughing at an opponent’s mistake, is not allowed and may result in disciplinary action. Likewise, paddle or ball abuse is not permitted.
If abusive behavior is observed and not corrected acceptably, please notify any member of the QCPC Board of the identity of the offender and the circumstances of the offense. The Board has the authority to conduct disciplinary proceedings in accordance with the Bylaws.
