The 2023 summer of Stratton Pickleball tournaments continue with our August Showdown.
Join us in picturesque Stratton Mountain Resort in Vermont for a three day tournament held at Vermont's largest outdoor pickleball center. With singles, doubles and mixed doubles divisions being held, there are plenty of play options for players at all levels.
The dates and events are:
Friday, August 11:
Men's Singles
Women's Singles
Saturday, August 12:
Women's Doubles
Men's Doubles
Sunday, August 13:
Mixed Doubles
Format
All doubles brackets will be Round Robin. Based upon the bracket size, the games will be 1-15 points, winning by 2, or 1-11 points, winning by 2. In a Round Robin format, each team plays every other team in that bracket at least once. For example, in a bracket with eight teams, each team will play seven games.
All brackets are limited to a minimum of three teams and a maximum of eight teams which will play as follows:
-- Brackets with 3 or 4 teams will play a double Round Robin to 15 points.
-- Brackets with 5 teams will play a single Round Robin to 15 points.
-- Brackets with 6, 7, or 8 teams will play a single Round Robin to 11 points.
All singles brackets will be single elimination.
All brackets are formed first by Skill Level, and then by Age
The Tournament Director reserves the right to merge brackets when there is an insufficient number of players within a bracket to make for meaningful play. The Tournament Director also reserves the right to change the format should circumstances, such as adverse weather conditions, necessitate expediency. However, medals will be awarded for merged age brackets.
For example, assume that for Skill Level 3.0 there are two teams for Age Group 60-69, two teams for Age Group 70-79, and two for Age Group 80-79. If the Tournament Director chooses to combine the three age groups into one bracket, only a single set of Comprehensive Medals will be awarded.
Other Notes:
1. Individual events (such as mixed doubles) can be added to the registration for a separate fee.
2. This is an outdoor tournament with no back-up dates. Thus, each registrant assumes
the risk that adverse weather could create scheduling delays, abbreviated play, or
event cancelation.
3. No refunds it cancelled within five days of the tournament start date.
