Pickleball Court, Tournament & Gear Watch

Track pickleball for US players. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: public and private court openings, closures, reservation system and fee changes in the 100 largest metros; city noise, zoning and court closure disputes with decisions; tournament registration windows and rule changes at the PPA Tour, APP Tour, USA Pickleball, Major League Pickleball and regional events with 500 or more players; USA Pickleball paddle approval and delisting decisions with the models named; paddle and shoe deals of 25 percent or more and recalls from Selkirk, JOOLA, Paddletek, Engage, Franklin, Head, Gearbox, CRBN and Six Zero; DUPR and rating system changes; facility chain openings and membership changes at Chicken N Pickle, Pickle Haus, the Picklr, Ace Pickleball Club and similar chains; injury data and safety advisories; and pro tour broadcast and ticket announcements. Prefer parks departments, city councils, tour and governing body pages, manufacturer pages, facility announcements and established pickleball reporting; ignore unverified posts and affiliate roundups. Put the metro, tournament or product first in the title with the date. Use high severity for a paddle delisting of a widely used model, a court opening of 12 or more courts, a reservation rule change in a metro over one million people, or a tournament deadline within 10 days. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
