😲 A filthy Bert!

This week's Epic Point comes from one of our subscribers, Thomas—and it's a beauty!

It even features a Bert! If you're not familiar, a Bert is just like an Erne, but with a twist — the player jumps over the kitchen from their partner’s side of the court.

Check it out and enjoy!

🧐 Big changes coming to pickleball? We need your input!

Our friends over at USA Pickleball are once again considering approving rally scoring as a provisional rule—meaning events could choose to use rally scoring next year (or stick to traditional side-out scoring).

If you’re unfamiliar, rally scoring allows players to win points on both their serve and their opponent’s serve. It’s a hot topic in the community, with strong opinions on both sides.

Some say it would speed up games and cut down on wait times at open play. Others believe it’s too big of a change for the sport.

So, what do you think? Should rally scoring be approved for 2026?
