***Skill Rating Requirement (Updated 11/14/23) *** FOR THE FIRST DAY OF REGISTRATION 11/14/2023

One member of your doubles team must have a USA Pickleball skill rating that matches the skill level of the event you are registering for, and one team member may play up in level. Example: if you wish to play in a 3.5 event, you must have a UTPR of 3.5 to be allowed to register for this event, and your partner may play up in level. BEGINNING 11/15/23 AT 12:05 A.M. AZ time: THE SKILL RATING REQUIREMENT WILL BE LIFTED.

WE HAVE TRADITIONALLY USED STAGGERED REGISTRATION TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO GET INTO THE EVENT THAT THEY HAVE A SKILL RATING FOR. THIS OPTION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS OUR WAY TO EQUITABLY ACHIEVE THIS OUTCOME.***

USA Pickleball Membership is required to be active through February 13, 2024. If you need to join or renew your membership, visit usapickleball.org BEFORE you try to register.

Format: Double Elimination*

*Specific format to be determined based on number of registrants, teams and matches per event. We are exploring different round robin formats to optimize player experience. Round Robin formats will be added as needed. The Tournament Director reserves the right adjust format or to combine brackets when there aren't enough teams to create an event.

If combined brackets all skill levels will be awarded individually.
