What is the starting score of a doubles pickleball game
In pickleball, the starting score of a doubles game is 0-0. The game is played to 11 points, but the team must win by a margin of 2 points. If the score reaches 10-10, then the game continues until one team wins by 2 points.
During the game, the serving team is the only team that can score a point. If the receiving team wins the rally, they will become the serving team, but they won't get a point. The serving team will continue to serve until they lose a rally, after which the serve will pass to the other team.
It's important to note that pickleball games can also be played to 15 or 21 points in some tournaments or casual play, but the same margin of 2 points applies.
