Pickleball’s explosive growth has brought more courts, more competition – and way more rule disputes. From heated line calls to confusion about the two-bounce rule, it doesn’t take much for a friendly match to get awkward. But no, you don’t have to pause the game or whip out your phone. You just need Ruley.

Ruley is a smartwatch app that gives you instant, no-nonsense answers to common pickleball rule questions – right on your wrist. So next time someone’s unsure whether a serve was legal or when they can volley, you can settle it in seconds and keep the game moving.

What is Ruley?

Ruley is a real-time rules assistant designed for pickleball players. It lives on your smartwatch and lets you ask specific questions, like: “Can I step into the kitchen on a volley?” or “Who makes the line call?” and instantly get an accurate answer pulled straight from official rule sources.

Think of it like a pocket referee, minus the whistle.

Real Scenarios, Real-Time Answers

The Line Call Dilemma

You’re deep in a close match when the ball lands close to the line. One player says it’s in, the other’s sure it was out. Instead of stopping play to dig through the rulebook – or worse, arguing about it for five minutes – just ask Ruley:

“Who calls the ball in or out?”

You’ll get the answer: the player closest to the line makes the call, and if the ball touches the line, it’s in. Done. Debate over.

The Two-Bounce Rule

Let’s just say someone rushes the net right after the serve. Leg or not? Just ask:

“What’s the two-bounce rule?”

Ruley will tell you that the ball must bounce once on each side – first after the serve, then after the return – before anyone can start volleying. Simple, fast, and clear.
