How We Play

WHAT IS THE COST OF PLAY?

We have two prices per session. BPC member = $5.00/session Non-member/casual = $10/session

Payment can be made IN CASH only on entry or pre-paid via EFT. (we will provide Banking details on request).

WHAT’S THE PLAYING FORMAT

At most sessions you will find players from beginner to advanced.  Generally, all sessions are classified as ‘social’ where players organise their own sets based on a rotation on/off basis, paying attention to matching playing standards where possible.  We generally only play DOUBLES to maximize court usage.

Once per month we have a Graded Round Robin event where players are assigned into a group of 4 or 5 players (of similar standard) and results tabulated to determine the winner of each group.  Minor prizes are awarded.  As well we collate the results into an annual ‘ladder’ to determine the Round Robin winner for the year.

Once per month we also have a “Kings and Queens of the Court” mini-comp…players move up and down courts dependant on win los

Additionally, from time to time we will run any of a range of formats to mix up the players and keep the interest high.Some players regularly attend Tournaments in other areas and States.

WHAT IS THE CLUB’S ETIQUETTE & BEHAVIOUR EXPECTATION?

 Here is some basic etiquette that we ask you to follow whilst playing...

Follow the rules: If you’re unsure about a rule, ask for clarification

Server ALWAYS calls out the score prior to serving. This signals that they are about to serve and makes sure everyone is aligned to the correct score.

Please do NOT walk behind a court while a point is in progress.

If the ball from your court goes across another, or behind another, WAIT until their point has concluded or been stopped before retrieving the ball.

Wear appropriate clothing and in particular, footwear for pickleball to avoid damage to courts or injury to yourself.
