🏓 **SOCIAL PICKLEBALL | HOUSE RULES** The goal is simple: **play, meet people, learn from each other, and have a good time!** 💛 **Before joining, please take note:** 🎯 **Beginner Recreational Play** This session is intended for players with a **self-rating of 2.5 to 3.5**. The goal is to keep the games fun, balanced, beginner-friendly, and comfortable for everyone. 💳 **Payment confirms your slot** Please send your payment to secure your spot. This helps us avoid last-minute cancellations that can affect court arrangements and the group’s overall budgeting. 💧🍪 Complimentary drinking water and light snacks will be available during the session. ### HOUSE RULES **1. 📱 Picklr is our official queueing system** We will use Picklr for queueing and court rotation. The app will be our single source of truth for determining who plays next. **2. 🚫 No forced pairing** Players cannot request, reserve, or force a specific partner or opponent. Pairings will be determined through the app’s rotation. **3. ⏱️ Queue is based on arrival** Your place in the queue is based on the order you arrive at the court and check in with the organizers. Please make sure you are properly registered and queued before assuming a spot. **4. 👥 Let the organizers manage the queue** To keep things fair and avoid confusion, the organizers will handle the queueing and rotation in Picklr. Please do not manually rearrange the queue, swap positions, or decide who plays next without checking with the organizers. **5. 🔄 Follow the app rotation** Once the rotation is set, we follow it as displayed in Picklr. This keeps the games fair and gives everyone a chance to play with different people. If there is an issue or something does not look right, please approach the organizers instead of changing the rotation yourself. **6. 🤝 This is SOCIAL pickleball** The purpose of these games is to socialize, meet new people, and learn from each other. Be open to playing with different people, encourage your fellow players, share tips when appropriate, and help create an environment where everyone feels welcome. **7. ❤️ Keep it fun** Let’s keep the competition friendly, the attitude positive, and the court welcoming. **Come to play. Stay to socialize. Leave with a few new friends and hopefully a better pickleball game. 🏓😄**
