This tournament is to help raise awareness for the Assistance League of Klamath Basin. Blazing Paddles is the kickoff for the Assistance League's sponsor fundraising campaign. https://www.klamathbasinassistanceleague.org/ This 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, provides new clothing and other services to families throughout the Klamath Basin. Members are all volunteers and we fully fund our programs through donations, fundraisers, estate sales, and grants. Please consider making an additional donation at registration.
Very Fun Round Robin format WITH playoffs for Gold/Silver/Bronze for skills 3.0-4.5+. Age brackets will be determined following the close of registration, but will strive to be close to under 50, 50-64, & 65+ events.
Number of total matches will be determined by number of players in the event. This may change up to the time of play as "life" happens to players and facility requests may be made. Players are guaranteed a minimum of 3 matches.
***Ratings:
• Even though DUPR is the only rating listed for public view, we are using DUPR only as a guideline. All rating systems have their pros and cons. Players will self-rate and we will also be using your previous tournament rating (PBR) as our determinant
• Please update your self-rating in your software profile before you register. You may only play up .5 from your self-rating
• If you feel that a player is playing out of their skill, please contact the tournament director. We will then evaluate tournament history and various ratings (including DUPR) to determine if a player/team needs to play at a different skill. Please be aware that this is a manual process and does not happen automatically
