Abstract

A unique approach and novel structure were combined to create the Pickleball Paddle Distribution System, which is on its way to becoming a vital element and rising star in the social sport of Pickleball. The proposed assembly works well regardless of the number of players and provides seamless management and proper randomized player participation between the courts by distributing paddles to the proper people that are next in rotation to play. The assembly is developed from high-quality material, provides sustainable performance, is collapsible and portable, and enhances the life of paddles by providing a safe stand for them in contrary to the traditional approach of placing and dragging them across cement floors or uneven surfaces.
