This guide explains match format, team requirements, rescheduling rules, and what qualifies a team for playoffs. Review these details to make sure you’re ready to play and know what to expect throughout the season!

⌛ Match Format & Timing

Each team will play a match for 60 minutes. A match is three games. Each game is played to 11 points, win by 2.

Exceptions:

• Venues PKL Social and Dropshots in Houston, and People's Court in Portland, play 40-minute matches instead.
• These locations use a best-of-3 format, meaning a match could end after two games.

🌎 League Structure & Divisions

For details on skill divisions and other league specific requirements, check the each league registration page. As of 2025, Honcho leagues no longer have gender requirements.

📌 DUPR helps shape our divisions, but we don’t strictly enforce rating ranges. We rely on player honesty to keep competition fair and fun for everyone. We trust players to register in good faith based on their actual skill level—not just their rating. Some players may be unrated or have a DUPR that doesn’t perfectly reflect their experience, so divisions may have some variation.

👥 Team Requirements & Playtime Rules

• We require a minimum of two players per team, and no more than four players can be on the roster.
• No restrictions on rotation—teams may choose to play with two players all night or rotate in their third or fourth player as they see fit. For example, two players can play the first game, two players can play the second game, and the same two players can play the third game.
