1. Check In

Players check in at the front desk and are added to the pickup queue.

2. Receive a PickUp USA Jersey

When it’s time to play, players are provided with a PickUp USA jersey so teams are clearly identified on the court.

3. Play an Officiated Game

Games are fully officiated with referees managing fouls, the 10-minute game clock, and the scoreboard. Game results, including wins and losses, are tracked as part of the run.

4. Winners Stay, Losers Rotate

Winning teams stay on the court. Losing teams re enter the queue for the next available game.

5. Repeat and Compete

Games continue in a structured, fast paced flow so players get consistent runs without confusion or downtime.
