How points work
- A rally runs from the serve until the ball is out of play. Score the highest level it reached. Full steps: keeping score.
- Estimates are fine. Not sure between two levels? Score the lower one.
- Rallies under 10 seconds are still good play; they just don't score. A rally ended by a lob or smash scores nothing.
- Points grow faster than time, so one long rally is worth more than several short ones.
- 90 seconds is the top level: hard to reach, but possible. After that, relax and let the next tough ball go.
- Want a record? Type the seconds of your longest rally. It does not change the points.
- A game is 10 minutes. Finish the rally in progress when the timer sounds, then save the game and start the next one.
- Time each rally with a stopwatch and the game with a 10-minute timer. How to time it.
The points belong to your team, both players together. Saved games stay on this device only. Full rules: Team score.
What comes next
This simple card is our first version. As we refine the rules with real play, we plan to build a Pickleball 55 app that times games and rallies for you, with team scores that both partners can see on their own phones.
