    Whether a ball hitting the line should be in or out. You’d think it would be simple, like tennis, but nooooo. Pickleball authorities want to have every line be ‘in’ except for the kitchen line… but hitting/touching the line does mean it’s in, as in ‘in the kitchen,’ which means you’re out.

    Then there was the whole rule change about ‘let’ serves, and the pros straight up ignoring the rules and playing the old way.

    :/ ugh. Playing a relatively recent sport can be frustrating, because they’re still trying to change rules to make the game better, compared to older sports where things have been set in stone.
