IMPORTANT POINTS...

 

  • LET US KNOW WHAT WEEKS YOU CANNOT ATTEND! EMAIL US "INFO@FUSIONSPORTSMI.COM" OR TEXT "616-209-8852" SAYING YOUR FIRST/LAST NAME AND WHICH WEEKS YOU CANNOT ATTEND. There is no need to find a sub if you cannot attend.


  • We have a ZERO TOLERANCE Policy in players using negative language towards others. In hosting thousands of pickleball games, we have ran into a couple of situations where players will call their opponents or teammates inappropriate or hurtful names. If this happens to you or you notice this happening at your court, please inform us right away. The player causing the harm will be kicked out of the league and may even be banned from all Fusion Sports events depending on the act. We pride ourselves in putting on events that are fun, social, competitive, and family-friendly. We kindly ask that you are respectful to everyone around you during the league.


  • "Tiers" and "Courts" are used synonymously. When you arrive in person to see where you play, Tier 1 is Played on Court 1, Tier 2 is Played on Court 2, and so on.


  • Please arrive around 6:45pm to warmup. At 7:00pm, please start the games and let Carter know if there are any missing players on your court.


  • Address: 2830 Port Sheldon St, Hudsonville, MI 49426. Impact Dynamic Training. If you cannot find the courts please call us - (616) 209-8852.

  • Ladder League Format...

    • Please arrive around 6:45pm. At 7:00pm, please start the games!

    • If there are missing players who are supposed to be at your court, please let Carter know (I will be wearing Fusion Sports apparel so you know who I am and will also be playing in the league).

    • On each court, there will be a clipboard indicating the matchups. After each game, 1 player from the winning team will circle the team that won and indicate the score.

    • On the clipboard, it will note each matchup. If you do not see your name in the matchup, this means you are sitting out that game.

    • After all of the games are completed, please return the clipboard and the pickleballs.

    • Each week, you will play 5-7 games. If your court gets done early and you would like to play more games, feel free! We just ask that you finish up your last game by 9:10pm.


  • Game Format

    • All games will be played to 11, win by 2, following Standard USA Pickleball Rules. If there are only 4 players assigned to your court, games will be played to 15, win by 2.

    • There are no line judges! The receiving team is responsible for calling the ball in or out.


  Weighted Scoring System Explained


We're excited to introduce a new weighted scoring system for our pickleball league! This idea came from player feedback and is commonly used in other ladder leagues. We're giving it a try to see how you like it. If it’s not well-received, we’ll adjust or remove it in future leagues. 😊


What is Weighted Scoring?

Our weighted scoring system evaluates your performance weekly and determines tier placements (what court you will play on) for the following week. Players with the highest weighted scores from the previous week will play in the top tier, and vice versa.


How It Works


Weekly Weighted Score Formula:


Tier Value + Percentage of Points Won + (Winning % x 25)


The formula factors in your tier difficulty, point differential, and winning percentage to provide a fair and balanced score.


Tier Values:


  • Tier 1: 100

  • Tier 2: 85

  • Tier 3: 70

  • Tier 4: 55

  • Tier 5: 40

  • Tier 6: 25


Example:


Scenario: You win 60% of the total points in Tier 2 and finish with a 4-1 record.


Weighted Score Calculation:


85 (Tier 2 Value) + 60 (Percentage of Points Won) + 20 (80% Win Percentage x 25) = 165


How Rankings Are Determined:


  1. Weekly Rankings: After each week, players will be ranked by their weighted scores, from 1 to 36 (since we have 36 total players). Rank 1 is the highest score, and rank 36 is the lowest.


  2. Handling Absences:

    • No Notice: Drop 2 spots in rankings.

    • Day-Of Notice: Drop 1 spot in rankings.

    • Notified in Advance: Maintain previous ranking.

    • Misses 2 Weeks in a Row: Drop 3 spots in rankings.

Please inform us at least one day before the league if you can't make it:


How Tier/Court Assignment is Determined:


  • Tier Placement (what court you end up playing on):

    • Printed sheets showing player tiers (what court you are on) will be shown in person at the league.

    • Your tier (what court you play on) depends on your ranking and the number of available players each week. There will be 4-6 players assigned to each tier/court. For example, if there are 6 total missing players one week, there will be 5 players assigned to each tier/court (30 Available Players / 6 Tiers/Courts). If there are 5 total missing players one week, some courts will have 5 players assigned to their tier/court while others will have 6 players. It is a random system for how we determine which courts have 5 players and which courts have 6 players if this situation occurs.

    • Higher rankings increase your chances of being in a higher tier.

  • Weekly Re-Ranking:

    • After each week's games, players will be re-ranked based on their weighted score.

    • Absent players remain in their same ranking (if they let us know at least a day in advance).

  • Leaderboard Visibility:

    • The Overall Leaderboard and Weekly Rankings will be shared within 72 hours after the end of each week.
