Terms of use
Last updated October 3, 2026
These are the rules for using Sickle. By making an account, you agree to them.
Using Sickle
- You must be at least 13 to use Sickle.
- Keep your login to yourself. You are responsible for what happens on your account.
- Use a username and display name that are yours to use and not offensive.
No abuse, ever
- Sickle has zero tolerance for harassment, threats, hate, sexual content, spam or impersonation.
- Enter honest scores. Faking results or ganging up to push someone down the leaderboard is cheating.
- You can block or report any player from their page. We review every report.
- We remove content and suspend or delete accounts that break these rules, without warning.
Scores and rankings
- A ranked match counts only after the other team confirms it. Disputed scores go back and forth twice, then an admin decides.
- Admins can fix or void results to keep the leaderboards fair. Their decision is final.
Playing safe
- Sickle helps you meet other players. Meet at public courts and use common sense.
- Pickleball is a sport, and you play at your own risk. Sickle is not responsible for injuries, court conditions, or what happens at a game.
- Court info like lights and conditions comes from players and may be wrong.
The fine print
- Sickle is provided as is, without warranties. We may change or stop features at any time.
- You can stop using Sickle and delete your account any time in Settings.
- We may update these terms. If you keep using Sickle after a change, you accept the new terms.
- These terms are governed by the laws of Idaho, USA.
