Round Robin results will be determined following the USA Pickleball Rule book:

12.C.3. Round Robin. All players or teams play each other. Games may use any of the approved tournament scoring options. (See Rule 12.B.) The winner is determined based on number of matches won.

If two or more teams are tied:

12.C.3.a. First tie-breaker: head-to-head matches won.

12.C.3.b. Second tie-breaker: point differential of all games played. (e.g., Team A won Match 1 11-8, 11-4, so they would have a point differential of +10. Team A then wins the second match 11-9, 2-11, 11-6. For this round, they would have a point differential of -2. This would give them a total for the day of +8.)

12.C.3.c. Third tie-breaker: head-to-head point differential.

12.C.3.d. Fourth tie-breaker: point differential against next-highest team. (e.g., If the teams are tied for second, use point differentials against the first-place team.)

Referees will not be provided in any round robin matches.

If a round robin bracket is split into 2 groups:

Each group of teams will play each other in 1 game to 15, win by 2, or first to 21.

The top 2 finishers in each group will move on to a playoff. Each first place finisher of a group will play the second place finisher in the other group, 1 game to 15, win by 2, or first to 21. The winners of the playoff games will play each other in a 1 game gold match, 1 game to 15, win by 2, or first to 21. The losers of the playoff games will play each other for the bronze medal, 1 game to 15, win by 2, or first to 21.
