Welcome to the Line Judge Test!

This 40-question review is a tool for pickleball line judges and referees to test their knowledge of the USA Pickleball line judge best practices contained in the USA Pickleball Officiating Handbook. Passing the Line Judge Test is a prerequisite to applying for USA Pickleball Referee Certification. Answers to all questions can be found in the Officiating Handbook or USA Pickleball Rulebook.

Pick a time to take the test when you can complete all the questions without interruption because the test will automatically close after 30 minutes. The test will also close when you click the “Submit” button at the end of the test, so answer all questions before submitting the test.

Upon completion, your score will be displayed.

You can take the test as often as you like. So, re-read the Officiating Handbook and re-take the test. Each time you will receive a follow-up email containing your test score.
