| Proposed Rule Change | New Rule: For the purpose of line calls, the ball is treated as if it makes contact with the playing surface at a single point. If this point is outside the line, the ball is considered to be out. The ball is not treated as deformable for line calls. |
| Original Rule Text | none |
| Reasoning Behind Suggested Change | This rule will (hopefully!) end all debate regarding how much a pickleball deforms when it bounces on the playing surface, and whether the ball deforms enough to touch a line in a line call situation.
