Community Standards


PB Play is intended for organized, competitive, and welcoming pickleball. Treat players, organizers, volunteers, officials, and venue staff with fairness, patience, and respect.

Basic expectations

  • Communicate clearly and give people reasonable time to respond.
  • Play honestly, call lines fairly, and resolve score or rule disagreements calmly.
  • Do not harass, discriminate against, intimidate, embarrass, isolate, or deliberately disrupt another person.
  • Do not use scheduling, substitutes, forfeits, messages, or site tools to obtain an unfair advantage.

Reliability and concerns

Keep availability current, make a good-faith effort to meet scheduling commitments, and notify the other team promptly if plans change. If a concern affects safety, fairness, participation, or the event environment, contact that event's organizer.

Organizers may clarify expectations, mediate, limit participation, or remove someone from an event when behaviour undermines safety, fairness, or trust.
