How points work

How league points are calculated for each match, the default values, and how to change them.

In a league, each player or team earns points for every match. Social groups are ranked without points.

The formula

For each match, a player gets:

  • points for playing the match, plus
  • points for each set won, plus
  • a win bonus if they won, or a draw bonus if it was a draw.

In pickleball, "each set won" means each game won.

The defaults

Points
Points per match played1
Points per set won1
Win bonus2
Draw bonus0

With the defaults, in a best of three sets match:

  • A win scores 5, whether it's 2-0 or 2-1.
  • A loss scores 1, or 2 if the loser won a set.
  • A one set each draw scores 2 each.

Change the points

You can set your own values for the whole club, and override them for a single league. See scoring settings.

When you change the points, the standings are recalculated from the recorded scores straight away.
