Ladder League Player — How to Opt In or Out for a Game Day

In a Ladder League, you must opt in for each game day you plan to attend. You are not automatically included — opting in tells the league manager you'll be there so they can build accurate playing groups. This article covers how to opt in, opt out, and what to do if the game day is full.


About opt-ins

The league manager sets the opt-in window for each game day — typically a date range starting a few days or a week before the game day. Some leagues open opt-ins for all game days at the start of the session; others limit the window to just a few days before each event.

The manager also sets a maximum number of players per game day. If the maximum is reached, additional players are prompted to join the waitlist. Waitlisted players are automatically moved in if an opt-out occurs before the waitlist lock time.


How to opt in

  1. Log in to your Pickleball.com account.
  2. Select Leagues, then click My Leagues or My Schedule.
  3. Click on the league you're registered in.
  4. Find the upcoming game day and click the Game Day button.
  5. Click Opt In. The display turns green when you're confirmed.

How to opt out

  1. Follow the same path to find the game day.
  2. Click Opt Out. The display turns red.
Note

Once the opt-in window locks, only a league manager can opt you out. Contact your league manager if you need to be removed after the lock.


Frequently Asked Questions

The game day is full — can I still join?

If the game day is full, you'll be prompted to join the waitlist. Waitlisted players are automatically moved in if an opt-out occurs before the waitlist lock time set by the league manager.

I can't find the opt-in button — why?

The opt-in window is set by the league manager for each game day. If opt-ins aren't open yet, check back closer to the game day or contact your league manager to confirm the window.

Can the league manager opt me in?

Yes. The league manager can opt players in or out themselves, depending on actual attendance on the day.
