NOTE: You cannot register on Pickleballbrackets.com! You MUST register at arseniorolympics.org/pickleball.

All registrations will be transferred to pickleballbrackets.com about 3-4 weeks before the tournament as all records can only be transferred once from database to database - then I have to transfer all the rest manually.
