In a nutshell, scoring isn't complicated. The myth that pickleball scoring is complicated is due to the fact that it's a very social game and people just forget! I created the Pickle Pal for my own purposes when I was new to pickleball. My goal was to know how to score right out of the gate. If you can do that, it show's that you are committed to learning the game, and most experienced players will welcome you to play. And that's the best way to learn the game. The Pickle Pal gives you confidence and removes anxiety so that you can focus on technique. The Pickle Pal has more features than you will need as a beginner, but you will certainly want them as you gain experience!
