HOME COURT PADDLE

Get ready for something new and exciting! The Home Court Paddle Battle is a spirited camaraderie driven twist team to this year’s Pickle-icious Jingle Jam!

​

​​

WHAT IT IS

 

A light-hearted, brag-worthy competition where players represent their pickleball club, home courts, APPL team, or just a group of friends. It runs alongside the regular Jingle Jam Round Robin. At the end of the tournament, one Men’s, one Women’s, and one Mixed Doubles Home Court Paddle Battle Champion team will be crowned, earning a traveling trophy to display for the next year.

 

WHAT IT’S NOT

 

A separate event with extra matches, extra fees, or mandatory participation. You can still play as usual for Gold, Silver, and Bronze in your age/skill bracket without joining a Home Court team.

 

HOW IT WORKS

 

• A Home Court Team = 5 doubles teams (10 players) registered for the Jingle Jam.

• Teams can represent courts, clubs, APPL teams, or friend groups—age and skill levels don’t matter.

• Courts/clubs/APPL teams or friend groups can enter one, two, or all three divisions: Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed Doubles.

• When you and your partner register for the Jingle Jam, pick your event/age/skill bracket as usual.

• To join the Paddle Battle, check the box and select your court/club from the drop-down list (or choose a name and write one in).

• Matches are played in a normal Round Robin format.

• Every point you and your partner score also add to your Home Court team’s cumulative total.

• Highest total in each division = Champion + Traveling Trophy + Year-long bragging rights.

• Results announced daily and posted online.

​

IMPORTANT NOTE

• No extra matches. No extra fees. Just extra pride.

• Limited spots: Only the first 5 Home Court Teams per division (Men’s, Women’s, Mixed Doubles) can enter.

• First come, first served—so register early!
