Abstract This paper proposes a model that characterizes the degree to which a doubles sport (i.e. two team members) is a weak or a strong link game. The model is applied to the sport of pickleball where interest is focused on the doubles version of the sport. As a byproduct of the analysis, individual player rankings are obtained.
