The Connecticut Sports Management Group presents the Nutmeg Fall Classic Doubles and Mixed Doubles Pickleball Tournament.
Tournament Director: Janice Pauly
Young Adult and Adult Division events, for players under 55, will be held on Saturday, October 19th.
Senior Division events, for players age 55 and up, will be held on Sunday, October 20th.
Mixed Doubles will be held in the morning starting at 8:00 AM. Men's and Women's Doubles will be held in the afternoon.
The tournament format is round robin for all events with a limited number of teams. Events with a large number of teams may be split into two round robin pools followed by a playoff for the top teams in each pool. Senior players are welcome to play with a younger partner on Saturday in either Mixed Doubles or Doubles in addition to the Senior events on Sunday.
Registration is by skill level. Skill levels with a large number of teams or players will be split by age into playing brackets. Playing brackets will be configured based on the number of registrations.
Teams MUST play in the age group of the younger partner. For doubles and mixed doubles, you MUST sign up at the skill level of the higher rated partner. Players may play up in skill level ONLY with a higher rated partner.
The rating that will be used for bracket placement is the PickleballBrackets.com tournament rating.
****** Players with a WPR or DUPR that is higher than their PickleballBrackets.com tournament rating who wish to use that rating for bracket placement should contact the Tournament Director, using the Contact Tourney link above, for help signing up for the correct skill level. ******
All ratings will be updated and verified before and after the close of registration.
The tournament director reserves the right to move players and teams to appropriate skill levels.

Groups may be combined or split at the discretion of the tournament director.
The tournament reserves the right to modify the bracket format and number of rounds to comply with the guaranteed number of games per event.
