Blitz Pickleball Rules

Basic : 

This game will be carried out in doubles format

Serving : 

The server’s arm must be moving in an upward arc when the ball is struck.(underarm serve)
A ‘drop serve’ is also permitted in which case none of the elements above apply.
The serve is made diagonally crosscourt.
Only one serve attempt is allowed per server.

Sequence : 

The first serve of each side-out is made from the right/even court. 
If a point is scored, the server switches sides and the server initiates the next serve from the left/odd court. 
As subsequent points are scored, the server continues switching back and forth until a fault is committed, and the first server loses the serve. 
When the first server loses the serve the partner then serves from their correct side of the court (except for the first service sequence of the game*). 
The second server continues serving until his team commits a fault and loses the serve to the opposing team. 

Two-bounce rule : 

When the ball is served, the receiving team must let it bounce before returning, and then the serving team must let it bounce before returning, thus two bounces.
After the ball has bounced once in each team’s court, both teams may either volley the ball (hit the ball before it bounces) or play it off a bounce (ground stroke). 
The two-bounce rule eliminates the serve and volley advantage and extends rallies. 

Non-Volley Zone (The ‘kitchen’) : 

The non-volley zone is the court area within 7 feet on both sides of the net. 
Volleying is prohibited within the non-volley zone. 
It is a fault if, when volleying a ball, the player steps on the non-volley zone

Scoring :

Points are scored only by the serving team. 
There will be a total of  3 SETS OF 7 POINTS EACH.


Faults :

A fault by the receiving team results in a point for the serving team. 
A fault by the serving team results in the server’s loss of serve or side out

Tournament format :

It will be conducted in a knockout format.

REFREE'S DECISION IS FINAL.
