Skill levels are: 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0+
**** USA Pickleball members with an official skill level rating, must register for that level or higher on date of registration.
**** Current Pickleball Bracket ratings will be used first, then UTPR, then self rating. Sand bagging is not ethical; enough said. Please register in your appropriate skill division.
**** We do not use DUPR ratings as we have no easy way to cross-reference registered players with possible DUPR ratings. Tournament results will not be reported to DUPR.
Age groups will be based on registrations. We will assign bracket age groups in February so brackets will be 6 to 8 teams.
**** See Tournament Format on page two of the flyer for more information about this year's age format.
**** Age is calculated as of 12/31/2024.
**** SKILL NOTE: You will see all the skill divisions you are eligible to play in. Pay close attention to the division you are registering for to be sure it's the correct choice. Example: a 3.5 player will see choices: 3.5, 4.0+ because the team can play up in skill level.
**** AGE NOTE: You will NOT see any age divisions. They will be posted after registration is closed and teams will be grouped by age and limited to brackets of 5 to 8 teams (e.g. 62-65.)
A team must play at the skill level of the higher rated player.
For age divisions, a team must play at the age of the younger player.
You may register and identify your partner or request "Need partner". Your partner must register within two days of your registration or the team will be moved to the wait list. When the identified partner registers after the two day grace period, the team will automatically move from the wait list back to the active list if there is a slot available and both players have paid. If a player needs a partner, the team will automatically move from the wait list to the active list if there is an available slot to move to AND both players have registered and paid.
Partners will not be sought or assigned by the tournament, you will have to select your own partner. Players needing a partner will be shown on this website by event.
Selected matches may have referees. If one is requested, we will do the best we can to find one.
Tournament format is subject to change as necessary by the Tournament Director.
Player skill levels are subject to adjustment by the Tournament Director based on past performance.
