Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. It is played on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net. Players use solid-faced paddles to hit a perforated plastic ball over the net. Pickleball can be played as singles or doubles.
Scoring in pickleball is similar to scoring in tennis. Points are scored when the opposing team fails to return the ball, hits the ball out of bounds, or commits a fault. The first team to reach 11 points wins the game. However, the team must win by at least two points. If the score is tied at 10-10, the game goes into overtime. The first team to reach 15 points wins the overtime game.
