Good Court Etiquette for all Pickleball Players: 

• When entering or leaving the court through a gate shared with an adjacent court, wait until any ongoing rally is finished on that adjacent court before going through the gate.
• At the beginning of the game introduce yourself, if not familiar with your partner or players.
• Before serving the ball to your opponent, make sure the receiver is ready.
• Call out the score, and identify your server number, so they know you are ready to serve. Players should wait until the rally is over to correct any error in scoring.
• Line calls are the responsibility of the receiving side.
• You should not call faults or other line calls on the other side of the net unless asked to do so.
• If your team cannot agree on the line call, then the call goes in favor of your opponents.
• If a ball comes onto your court from an adjacent court, stop play by calling “ball” and pick up the loose ball. Ask the people on the adjacent court who gets the ball, and then hit or throw it back to that person as best you can.
• Conversely, if you are the person on the adjacent court who wants the ball back, please raise your hand or your paddle, so they know to whom to return the ball.
• Don’t be excessive in the celebration when your opponent makes an error.  Please don’t clap, cheer, or laugh when the opposing player misses an easy shot. 
• Control Your Temper: Foul or abusive language, or unsportsmanlike gloating or laughing at an opponent’s mistake, is not allowed and will result in a warning at first, then possible disciplinary action. Likewise, paddle or ball abuse is not permitted.
• Each game is played to 11. Teams must win by two. Playing consecutive games is only allowed when vacant courts are available and the waiting area is void of other participants.
