Mixed refers to men and women competing as partners together — this is a partner league format only. Coed allows men and women to play together in any format. If you're running a scramble or open play league, choose Coed.
This article covers the Basic Info page — the first step when creating a new league in Pickleball Leagues (PL). Basic Info sets the fundamental parameters that define your league: its format, player group, and public visibility.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Status | Set to Active for an open league. Change to Closed when league play is complete. |
| Show on Search | Set to Yes so players can find your league when searching. |
| League Title | The ongoing league name — not a session-specific title. See Understanding League Structure in PL. |
| Player Group | Choose Men's, Women's, Mixed, or Coed. Mixed applies to partner leagues only. |
| Format | Choose Doubles, Singles, or Skinny Singles. |
| Allow Player Score Entry | If Yes, registered partners can enter scores for their own matches. |
| Logo (Optional) | Upload a league logo. Defaults to your club logo if none is uploaded. |
The logo must completely fill the specified area. It will not display correctly if smaller than the required dimensions.
| Format | Structure | Game Day | Rankings | Typical session length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ladder League | Players move up/down the ladder based on match results | Matchups based on current rank | Players move up or down based on round robin group standings | 6–8 weeks |
| Traditional League | Each player/team plays every other once | One opponent per week, max 3 games | Ranked by wins and losses | Based on team count (8 teams = 7 weeks) |
| King of the Court / DUPR | Rotation-based play with score-driven movement | Players opt in; groups created after opt-in closes | DUPR-based ratings updated after each game day | Flexible |
