Your partner is not the reason you lost that game. It wasn’t their missed dink. It wasn’t their serve into the net. And it sure as hell wasn’t that lob they hit that got smashed back into your teeth.
Pickleball line call rules seem very straightforward on the surface. However, making the right line call on the pickleball court can actually be a difficult job. This pickleball blog breaks down all of the pickleball rules regarding line calling, so that you will make the right call on the pickleball courts!
The sport of pickleball encourages fair play and good sportsmanship. These overarching principles of pickleball are underscored by the sport’s “Scout’s honor” approach to line calling in most settings, as players are responsible for making line calls in most recreational play and most tournament play. To help foster the sport of pickleball’s honor approach to line calling, the Official Rulebook for pickleball establishes a code of ethics for line calling on the pickleball court.
