RULEBOOK 2025

The purpose of the official rulebook is to provide pickleball players with the rules necessary for recreational, social, organized league and tournament play. Some sections of this rulebook are designed to be used only for the conduct of sanctioned tournaments. A sanctioned tournament allows players to obtain a rating on a national or international basis.

No member country should publish or distribute any version of the rulebook that is not sanctioned by the GPF and the PFA.
