2nd Annual Speedy Singles

Description

Triple round-robin of skinny singles where each round you play one of the three versions of skinny singles.

15 players in each event (3.5 and under, 4.0+). Each event will be split into 3 pools of 5.

The top 2 players from each pool will move on to the single elimination medal round.

Each player will compete in 12 speedy games to 7 win by 1, hens the name "Speedy Singles".

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 on.


Round 1 : "Single Side Skinny Singles"
The two players are straight across from one another each representing their own service area. If the ball bounces outside this area then it is a fault. Rotate sides (left and right) when a score is made. Keeping the server on the right side for even scores and the left side for odd scores. If you win the serve back you must serve from the correct side (left or right) based on your score. The receiver always moves to a service area where they are straight across from the server.


Round 2 : "Cross Court Skinny Singles"
The two players are diagonal from one another each representing their own service area. If the ball bounces outside this area then it is a fault. Rotate sides (left and right) when a score is made. Keeping the server on the right side for even scores and the left side for odd scores. If you win the serve back you must serve from the correct side (left or right) based on your score. The receiver is always diagonal from the server.


Round 3 : "Score to Rotate Skinny Singles"
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.


NOTE:
The only exception is when an Around-The-Post (ATP) shot presents itself. If your opponent gives you the opportunity to hit an Around-The-Post shot, you can return the ball and have it bounce on any opposing service side of the net (even if it is not the side designated to return the ball to). If your opponent defends your ATP shot and it bounces on your side of the net, it must do so in the designated service area on your side of the court or it is a fault.

Additional Information

Skill is the only factor that matters when it comes to Skinny Singles. That's one of the great things about this format. Age and gender are not as important because the court size targets your skill of each player regardless of anything else.

Skinny Singles is quickly becoming a format so many pickleball players want to get into.
