The Tournament Director reserves the right to modify event formats as needed based on the number of registrations. This includes merging or splitting events, event dates and changing the scoring format.
Skinny Singles format: "Score to Rotate"
Rules are the same as regular singles except all balls that bounce must do so on the side of the court being played and what side of the court the player plays.
The two players start the game diagonal from one another. Only the player winning the point rotates and their opponent does not rotate, staying where they are. Some points will be played straight across from one another and some will be played diagonal from one another. When a player wins "side out" they should already be on the side representing their score (even on the right, odd on the left). If the ball bounces outside this area then it is a fault.
Additional information can be found on the USA Pickleball website (Mini-Singles format instructions).
