Del Boca Vista Pickleball uses a structured team format inspired by Major League Pickleball. Each match night follows a consistent flow so players, captains, and spectators know what to expect.
Teams compete across multiple games in a single match, with each game contributing to the overall match result. This format emphasizes team depth, strategy, and consistency across men’s, women’s, and mixed play.
Rather than isolated individual matches, the league is designed to feel like a true team competition from start to finish.
Scoring System

[LINK TO SCORING SYSTEM PAGE]
The league uses rally scoring to ensure matches stay on time and remain competitive from start to finish. Points can be scored by either team on every rally, regardless of who is serving.
Certain situations also use a freeze rule, which requires a team to earn the final point while serving. This adds strategy and prevents matches from ending on unearned points.
The scoring system is intentionally designed to balance fairness, pace of play, and competitive pressure.
