The USA Pickleball Officiating Uniform Policy is now in effect and is available for viewing.  The updates include:

• Credentials are no longer worn on the uniform. Officials must carry their credential while officiating and present it when requested.
• International officials are specifically addressed. The policy now includes provisions accommodating USA Pickleball international affiliates and their officials.
• Uniform requirements are clearer and more specific. The revised policy provides more precise direction on approved uniform components and how they may be worn.
• The approval process is clearer. Officials have clearer direction about when event approval is required, who provides approval, and when advance approval must go to the Managing Director of Officiating.
• Uniforms may only be provided to people authorized to wear them. Uniform components may be loaned or given to another person only when that person is authorized to wear the USA Pickleball uniform.
