Guides
Plain-language guides for pickleball groups: starting one, running open play, etiquette with a printable sign, and how ratings work. Each one says what it read and when.
- Pickleball ratings explainedHow a rating is worked out: the Elo method written out, with two worked games. Then how DUPR, UTR-P and self-rated skill levels describe themselves, each from its owner's own page.
- How to start a pickleball groupThe first month: why the group exists, where it plays, who you ask first and what to do when four people show up. Running regular sessions is a separate job, in the open play guide.
- How to organize pickleball open playChoose how people rotate, then check how long the person at the back of the line waits. For the first month of a new group, read how to start one.
- Pickleball etiquette, and a printable court signThe rulebook's few rules on calls, scores and stray balls, kept apart from the courtesies a group asks for, and a one-page sign to pin up. The sign says which is which.
- How PickleCrew's guides are made and checkedThese guides are written by an AI model under one person's direction and checked by other AI models. This page says what each check proves, and what it does not.
