Texts from PT come from 844-999-0071 and 844-525-8822 . Saving both numbers to your phone\u0027s contacts (a common shortcut is to label them both as pickleballtournaments.com ) keeps them from getting filtered as spam. iPhone users \u2014 check Messages spam and junk folders. Open the Messages app, tap the three-line menu in the top-left, and look at the Unknown Senders , Spam , and Junk folders. iPhones sometimes route texts from unknown senders into these folders automatically. Confirm phone number and country code. The mobile number and country code on the player\u0027s Pickleball.com profile both need to be correct. Check opt-in status. If a player previously replied STOP to a PT text, they\u0027ll need to text START to the same number to begin receiving messages again.\u0022\r\n    }\r\n},\r\n{\r\n    \u0022@type\u0022: \u0022Question\u0022,\r\n    \u0022name\u0022: \u0022What confirmation window should I use?\u0022,\r\n    \u0022acceptedAnswer\u0022: {\r\n    \u0022@type\u0022: \u0022Answer\u0022,\r\n    \u0022text\u0022: \u0022A 1 minute window is the sweet spot for most events \u2014 fast enough to keep play moving but long enough to catch a mistake before it locks in.
