SUMMARY:Rise & Rally Format Pickleball (Highland Rec)
DESCRIPTION:Rise & Rally Format Pickleball for all ages! 4 nets will be set up! \nWe’re excited to introduce a new free play format designed to keep games fun\, \nfair and competitive for everyone! \nThis new format\, called Rise and Rally\, \nensures a good mix of players on the courts\, \nno matter if you win or lose. \n\nHow It Works \nWe’ll be using two courts \nwith a total of four nets. \nCourt 1 is for starting a game and for teams that have just lost. \nCourt 2 is for starting a game and for teams that have just won. \nPlayers will start by stacking their paddles in a paddle queue at either Court 1 or Court 2\, waiting for their turn to play. \nWhen your game is over\, the two players on the team must split up. \nYour next move depends on the \noutcome of the game: \nWinners: The two players on the winning team must split up and go to the paddle queue on the winning side (Gym 2). \nLosers: The two players on the losing team must split up and go to the paddle queue on the losing side (Gym 1)\, specifically the court closest to the facility’s front desk. \n\nThis ensures a constant rotation and fresh pairings\, preventing any single team from dominating the courts for too long. \n\nExample Rotation \nLet’s say you and your partner\, Alex\, just finished a game on Net 3 on Court 2. \nIf you won: You and Alex split up. You go to the paddle queue on Court 2\, and Alex goes to the paddle queue on Court 2. You’ll now be paired with a different player who also just won a game. \nIf you lost: You and Alex split up. You go to the paddle queue on Court 1\, and Alex goes to the paddle queue on Court 1. You’ll now be paired with a different player who also just lost a game. \n\nThis system guarantees that you’ll play with a wide variety of people\, making every game a new challenge!
