If at any time between the announcement of seeds to the start of the Pro Qualifiers event, a Pro player/pair is unable to participate in the Main Draw, they will be replaced by the highest ranked Qualifier.

For singles events and when both doubles partners are unable to play, the first reserve in the waitlist will then be invited to participate in the Qualifying event.

For doubles pairs in which only one (1) player is unable to play, the remaining player will be allowed to find a replacement and compete in the Qualifying event.

All players will be liable to a pickleballbrackets.com service fee of $5 USD per event with a max of $10 for both amateurs and pros.

Both players in a doubles pair must have registered and paid up, to be fully registered as a doubles pairing. In the event that either player of a doubles pair, have not registered or paid, they will be moved to a waitlist seven (7) days post-registration, when the tournament registration window closes, or when the event is full, whichever comes first.

Players without a partner after registration closes may still send partner requests to those on the waitlist. Players who pair up on the waitlist may still be allowed into the event, subject to availability.

After registration is closed, any registered player losing a partner must replace that partner with an already registered player. If a player’s partner withdraws before a replacement is found, the player will not be allowed to replace their partner. The replacement partner must be in the same skill/age group that you are scheduled to play. Players can play down in age and up in skill. Replacements need to be known and communicated to the registration contact by 6pm the day before you are scheduled to play. Replacements can be found on the players needing partners list.
