A suggestion by a group member was to get the idea out about potentially building pickleball courts on the top of the flat roof on the The Horton, in downtown San Diego. Here is a photo below.

New Rule Update for 2023 Pickleball Tournaments

I have gone ahead and copied and pasted directly from Pickleball Cafe and if you wish you can read in more detail by clicking this link - new rules

"The Must-know Pickleball Rule Updates for 2023

Here's' the short list of the main rule changes you need to know for 2023. More detail below, plus notes on some of the less impactful changes.

• NO MORE SPIN SERVE!This is the big one! As of 2023, the "spin serve" will no longer be legal!The quick recap of the change is, if you spin the ball as you release it from your hand, it's a replay / re-serve. You can still hit the ball with topspin, slice...etc, as long as you follow the other serve rules. The only new restriction is spinning it upon release. Here's the video from Zane Navratil explaining what a "spin serve" is. See below for more info, reasoning, explanation...etc.

• Avoid Wearing Clothing......that closely matches the ball color. (Keep your mind out of the gutter!) There are actually two parts to this change. The most impactful change is to rule 2.G.1. which adds the mention of clothing that "approximates the color of the ball" as something that could be a "Safety" or "Distraction" issue, and may require the player to change apparel. More details below.

• Equipment Time-Outs Equipment time-outs no longer require the use of your team's time-outs and the limitation of "up to 2 minutes" has been replaced with "of reasonable duration". So if you break your paddle, or the sole of your shoe falls off, not only will you not need to use up one of your time-outs, but it may also be reasonable to take more than 2 minutes to find a replacement paddle, or switch into a new pair of shoes...etc."
