The advantage of tennis, the way it is usually set up here, is that you know you have exactly the number of players needed for a game. No waiting for someone to show up, no lines to sub in.

The disadvantage of tennis is you are committed to the days you sign up for. If you want to sleep in, sorry. If you feel like playing a set today, but didn’t signup, too bad. If you play a few games and just aren’t into it, you keep playing rather than leaving others in the lurch.

I do dislike they refer to early morning pickle ball as open play. Some courts are definitely advanced , some are advanced intermediate, and some are intermediate. They really should label them so new folks know what they are getting into.
