Game card
Early version
A game is 10 minutes; play as many as you like. After each rally, add one to the level it reached. Longer rallies earn more.

How points work
- A rally runs from the serve until the ball is out of play. Score the highest level it reached.
- Estimates are fine. Not sure between two levels? Score the lower one.
- Rallies under 10 seconds are still good play; they just don't score. A rally ended by a lob or smash scores nothing.
- Points grow faster than time, so one long rally is worth more than several short ones.
- 60 seconds is the top level. After that, relax and let the next tough ball go.
- A game is 10 minutes. Finish the rally in progress when the timer sounds, then save the game and start the next one.
The points belong to your team, both players together. Saved games stay on this device only. Full rules: Team score.
What comes next
This simple card is our first version. As we refine the rules with real play, we plan to build a Pickleball 55 app, with team scores that both partners can see on their own phones.
