All tournaments sanctioned by the Pickleball Canada Association will follow the International Federation of Pickleball rules. These rules are the same as the USA Pickleball Association Official Tournament Rulebook, Revised April 1st, 2011. Should you wish access to the official USAPA rules, please refer to www.usapa.org. All tournaments not sanctioned by PCA will follow local rules to be determined by the tournament director or convener. The rules committee of PCA will be reviewing and updating this page in the near future. The short form version of the rules used by Pickleball Canada, Revised May 2010, can be downloaded from here.
