How Editorial awards work
Awards are computed entirely from objective merit data — verified venue information and real Google ratings from the Google Places API. No club can pay to win, and no club is excluded for not advertising. A featured or sponsored club may appear here only if it outscores all other eligible clubs on the same formula every club is judged by.
Rating prior: m=12, C=4.59★ (pickleball average). Ratings updated within 90 days. Full methodology →

People's vote,
Virginia.
A subjective, player-voted award — no algorithm, no merit formula. Just votes from real players on the clubs they love most. Email-verified; one vote per category per person.
Community Choice is separate from the merit awards above — voting is subjective and does not affect merit rankings.
