# MYOPL Siri and Apple Intelligence rulebook question coverage

The lists below document the examples supplied to Siri for routing and the grounded questions exercised by the executable rulebook acceptance gate. Resolver tests check answers after a question reaches MYOPL; they do not establish voice-routing or installed-app release readiness.

Coverage source: application commit `091a66279ab8bf5f5258875cdca317685ec9fba2`, 8 September 2026.

These 114 acceptance questions are regression examples, not a fixed whitelist. MYOPL can receive other natural-language rulebook questions and resolves them against its validated rulebook package. The public [edge-question data](https://ai.myopl.net/rulebook/edge-questions.json) contains the eight newly added answers in English and Spanish.

## Siri routing vocabulary

iOS supplies 13 suggested questions in the referenced source, with additional speech synonyms for likely transcription variants:

1. What is the kitchen rule?
2. What happens when a serve hits the net in pickleball?

4. What is the two-bounce rule?

6. Can spectators stand or lean at the edge of the court?
7. Can people hang on the fence or net?
8. Can players call balls out from the opponent's side of the court?

11. What if a ball looks in from my side but is actually out?

13. What happens when a player arrives late for a tournament match?

## 2026 edge-rule corrections

- The official rulebook does not prohibit spectators from standing or leaning at the court edge, or prescribe spectator fence behavior. Tournament and facility safety rules govern those boundaries.
- A player contacting the net or net support system while the ball is live commits a fault under Rules 13.G and 13.G.1.
- Players make line calls on their own end. Partner warnings such as “no” or “bounce it” are communication rather than line calls.
- The 2026 late-reporting thresholds are 10 minutes for a game forfeit and 15 minutes for a match forfeit in a multiple-game match. There is no five-minute or five-point schedule.
