## Pickleball basics (direct answers)
- What is pickleball? A paddle sport combining elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, played with a solid paddle and a perforated plastic ball on a court the size of a badminton court.
- Court size: the playing surface is 13.41m x 6.1m (44ft x 20ft). Allow about 18.3m x 9.1m in total for run-off. NPL recommends half courts for activations and pop-ups, which need 10m x 5m for one half court plus surrounds.
- Net height: 0.914m (36in) at the posts and 0.86m (34in) at centre.
- The kitchen (non-volley zone): the 2.13m (7ft) area either side of the net. You cannot volley (hit the ball out of the air) while standing in it.
- Two-bounce rule: the serve must bounce once on the receiving side, and the return must bounce once on the serving side, before either team may volley.
- Serving: underarm, contacted below the waist, hit diagonally cross-court into the opposite service box, with both feet behind the baseline.
- Scoring: traditional side-out scoring to 11, win by 2; only the serving side scores. Many NPL formats use rally scoring - the format for each competition is published on its event page.
- Is pickleball hard to learn? No. Most people rally within their first session because the court is small, the ball is slow and the serve is underarm. Mastery takes far longer - placement, the kitchen and the third-shot drop are where the depth is.
- What is DUPR? Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating - a global rating from 2.0 to 8.0 based on actual match results. Every NPL match is DUPR-rated, and DUPR is the official rating system of Pickleball Australia.
- What does a pickleball court cost to build? Cost depends on the site, base preparation, surface system, fencing and lighting, so NPL and Laykold quote per project - see https://www.nplpickleball.com.au/build-a-court to start an enquiry.

## How to keep score in pickleball

https://www.nplpickleball.com.au/pickleball-scoring

Pickleball scoring confuses almost every new player for the first two games, then it clicks. Here's how it works in doubles, the format most people play.

### The three numbers

In doubles the server calls three numbers before every serve: the serving team's score, the receiving team's score, then whether they are the first or second server (1 or 2). So '4-2-1' means the serving team has 4, the receivers have 2, and this is the first server.

### Only the serving side scores

You win a point only when your team is serving. If the receiving team wins the rally, they don't score; they move a step closer to getting the serve back.

### Both partners serve, then it's a side out

When the first server loses a rally, their partner serves (the second server). When the second server loses a rally, the serve goes to the other team: a side out. Serving partners switch sides after each point they win.

### Why every game starts at 0-0-2

To stop the first team getting two servers at the start, the opening serving team gets only one. So the first call of the game is '0-0-2'.

### Winning a game

Standard games are first to 11, and you must win by 2, so 12-10 or 15-13 are common finishes. Matches are usually best of three. Some leagues and tournaments use rally scoring or games to 15 or 21, so always check the event format.

### Singles scoring

In singles there's no second server, so the call is just two numbers: your score, then your opponent's. The server serves from the right when their score is even and from the left when it's odd.

### Worked example

Team A serves first.

1. Call '0-0-2'. Team A wins the rally: 1 point to A.

2. Call '1-0-2'. Team A loses the rally. A only had one server at the start, so it's a side out.

3. Team B serves. Call '0-1-1' (B has 0, A has 1, first server). B wins the rally.

4. Call '1-1-1'. B loses the rally, so B's second server serves.

5. Call '1-1-2'. B loses again: side out, and Team A serves with the call '1-1-1'.

## DUPR ratings explained

https://www.nplpickleball.com.au/dupr-ratings-explained

DUPR is the rating system most Australian players use to find their level, join the right sessions and enter the right tournament divisions. Every NPL match is DUPR-rated, and NPL has a three-year partnership with DUPR.

### What is DUPR?

DUPR (the Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) gives every player a rating based on their match results. New players start as NR (not rated), and ratings run on a scale from 2.000 to 8.000.

### Singles and doubles are rated separately

You have separate ratings for singles and doubles, and DUPR also tracks gender and mixed doubles separately. In doubles, your team's rating is the average of the two players' ratings.

### How your rating moves

Before each match, DUPR works out an expected result from everyone's ratings. Beat that expectation and your rating goes up; fall short and it goes down. Recent matches count more, and verified club, league and tournament matches count more than self-posted ones.

### What the reliability score means

Next to your rating is a reliability score from 1 to 100%. It shows how confident DUPR is that your rating reflects your current level. Play and log matches regularly and it goes up.

### DUPR and the NPL

DUPR is the official rating system of Pickleball Australia, and every NPL match is DUPR-rated. That includes the ahm NPL Pro Tour and Division 2, so a result against an NPL player counts like any other verified match.

### How to get a DUPR rating

Create a free account at dupr.com or in the DUPR app, then play verified matches: club sessions, leagues and tournaments that submit results to DUPR. Many venues in the NPL city guides run DUPR-rated sessions.
