With quicker matches Blitz Paddle opens up many possibilities

SCRAMBLES
By shortening the length of matches, players will scramble much more frequently and predictably. Teams can/should also mix partners.  A poor matchup is no big deal when a match only lasts 15 minutes.

KING OF THE HILL
With multiple courts, winning teams move up a court when they win and down a court when they lose.
you may have more teams than courts, as new teams can be introduced every 15 minutes.

POOL PLAY
With every point counting, multiple teams will play everyone. Total cumulation of points wins. Encourages the social aspect and mixing talents to form more balanced teams.

OPEN PLAY
When you have more players than courts allow, this short format allows very quick turnaround, partner changes, and level matching, keeping more people involved.
