Welcome to the 2025 New Hampshire Senior Games Pickleball Tournament!

This is a USA Pickleball Sanctioned Tournament. That means that all players must be active members of USA Pickleball, the National Governing Organization for Pickleball in the United States.

All referees are USA Pickleball officials. The head referee is Certified Referee Joseph L. Santoro.

This year's event takes place on the beautiful campus of Pinkerton Academy in Derry, New Hampshire, where there could be as many as 24 courts. Registration is limited to the first 350 players to fully pay the registration fee.

Saturday, August 09: Women's Doubles

Sunday, August 10: Mixed Doubles

Format

All games will be Round Robin. Based upon the bracket size, the games will be 1-15 points, winning by 2, or 1-11 points, winning by 2. In a Round Robin format, each team plays every other team in that bracket at least once. For example, in a bracket with eight teams, each team will play seven games.

Brackets are limited to a minimum of three teams and a maximum of eight teams which will play as follows:

-- Brackets with 3 or 4 teams will play a double Round Robin to 15 points.

-- Brackets with 5 teams will play a single Round Robin to 15 points.

-- Brackets with 6, 7, or 8 teams will play a single Round Robin to 11 points.

Brackets are formed first by Skill Level, such as 2.5, 3.0, etc., and then by Age in five year increments, such as 50-54, 55-59, etc. If a bracket is originlly outside the minimums, the tournament director may combine them.

Example

Assume a Skill Level X.X bracket is composed of three age five year age groups with

two teams each:

Age Group 50-54 Two Teams

Age Group 55-59 Two Teams

Age Group 60-64 Two Teams

These teams may be combined into a single comprehensive bracket identified as Age 50+.

The Tournament Director reserves the right to merge brackets when there is an insufficient number of players within a bracket to make for meaningful play. The Tournament Director also reserves the right to change the format should circumstances, such as adverse weather conditions, necessitate expediency.
