Tournament Format
The King's Court Classic is a King of the Court Social Tournament, designed so everyone plays multiple games while meeting new people throughout the day.
Instead of being eliminated after one loss, every participant continues playing for the entire event.
Players will rotate courts and partners throughout the tournament.
How It Works
✔ Individual Registration
Register as an individual.
No partner is required.
Tournament staff will assign partners before each round.
✔ Multiple Games
Each player will participate in approximately 6 rounds.
Each round lasts 15 minutes (or first team to 11 points, depending on schedule).
✔ New Partner Every Round
After every game:
• You receive a new partner.
• You'll play against different opponents.
This keeps the tournament social, fun, and fair.
✔ King's Court System
After each round:
Winning teams move up one court.
Losing teams move down one court.
The highest court is called King's Court.
Players who continue winning will work their way toward the King's Court throughout the day.
✔Scoring
Players receive:
3 points for a win
1 point for a tie (if time expires)
0 points for a loss
Point differential may be used as a tiebreaker if necessary.
✔Championship
At the conclusion of Round Robin play:
The top scoring players will advance to the Championship Match.
Championship format:
• Single game to 15 (win by 2)
or
• Best two out of three games
(Depending on tournament size.)
✔Basic Rules
USA Pickleball rules will be followed.
Key reminders:
Underhand serve
Double bounce rule
No volleying in the kitchen
Call your own lines
Good sportsmanship is expected at all times
Tournament officials will make final decisions on disputes.
