⚡ TPCYYC FREESTYLE RULES
READ THIS BEFORE REGISTERING.
If you register for this tournament, you are agreeing to play by TPCYYC Freestyle rules.
This is NOT traditional pickleball scoring.
We play our own format because we want the games to move faster, keep everyone involved and make every position count.
THE GOLDEN RULE:
EVERY POSITION = 1 POINT.
That’s it.
You do NOT need to win the serve to score.
You do NOT need to be serving to score.
Every completed position/rally results in a point for the team that wins it.
EXAMPLES
🏓 You win the rally → Your team gets 1 point.
🏓 Opponent hits the ball out → Your team gets 1 point.
🏓 Opponent hits the net → Your team gets 1 point.
🏓 Opponent commits a fault → Your team gets 1 point.
🏓 You commit a fault → Their team gets 1 point.
🏓 You serve and lose the rally → They get the point.
There is no “side out” scoring.
Every position matters.
WHY DO WE PLAY THIS WAY?
Because it keeps the games moving.
More points matter.
More rallies matter.
More players stay involved.
And nobody has to sit there waiting for their team to win the serve back.
🏆 TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The tournament format will depend on the number of teams registered, but every team is guaranteed a minimum of 4 games.
🏓 6–7 TEAMS
With 6–7 teams registered, we’ll play a Round Robin format, where every team plays against the other teams.
After round-robin play, the top 4 teams will advance to the playoffs.
🏆 Semifinals → Championship
🏓 8+ TEAMS
With 8 or more teams, we’ll use Pool Play, dividing teams into groups.
Teams will play within their pool, with standings determined by wins and point differential.
The top teams from each pool will advance to a single-elimination playoff bracket.
🏆 Playoffs → Semifinals → Championship
Regardless of the number of teams, our goal is to make sure everyone gets plenty of time on the court, with a minimum of 4 games guaranteed per team.
The final tournament structure and schedule will be announced once registration closes and the total number of teams is confirmed.
⚠️ IMPORTANT
TPCYYC Freestyle is the format for this tournament.
You are agreeing to these rules when you register.
If traditional pickleball scoring is what you’re looking for, this may not be the tournament for you — and that’s completely okay.
But once you’re on the court, TPCYYC Freestyle is the format.
The referee’s decision during play is final.
No arguing over the scoring system.
No “that’s not how pickleball works.”
You signed up for TPCYYC Freestyle. 😎

🏓 COMPETITION STARTS PROMPTLY AT 8:00 PM
Please be on time.
We want to keep the tournament running smoothly and make sure everyone gets their guaranteed games.
