Rule Changes

What are the most important 2026 rule changes a tournament and rec player needs to be aware of?

Normally I keep up with rule changes year to year but I’ve been more tuned out this year. I just saw a comment in another thread that in 2026 NVZ faults are now self called by a team and not called by opponents. If true it made me realize I don’t know what changed this year.

What counts as clearly in the 2026 volley serve rule change?

Looking to start playing pickleball again and checked the rules to see if there’s been any changes since playing last. I feel like there’s a fine line between clearly and not clearly angling the top of the paddle below the waist and so on. What do you guys think?
