Create an account on www.pickleballtournaments.com – this is where the tournament registration will happen

Space is limited in each division. Registration will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Waitlists have been created for each division. If a team is on the waitlist, it is permissible to register as a confirmed team for a lower age division. If a spot comes available in the preferred division, we will move the team there and remove them from the alternate division.

Teams may only compete in one division per event (max 3 events). Example: A woman may compete in women’s doubles, mixed doubles and singles.

Registration opens on Thursday, April 17 at 6 PM. A link for online registration will be emailed to all members and posted on social media at that time.

Cost: $20 per person to register plus $20 per person for each event (example: $20 registration + $20 for women’s doubles + $20 for mixed doubles + $20 for singles = $80 total due per person)

Skill + Age Level Assessment: Your skill level is determined by your current DUPR rating at time of registration.

If you are not rated, please estimate your skill level using this website: https://pickleballcanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Pickleball-Canada-Skills-Self-Assessment-Chart.pdf

Remember:

DUPR scores are rounded down to the nearest 0.5.

The tournament software will only allow you to register for events at your skill level or 1.0 above your skill level.

2.5 - players with ratings from 1.0 to 2.99 can play

3.0 - players with ratings from 2.0 to 3.499 can play.

3.5 - players with ratings between 2.5 and 3.999 can play.

Additional Details:

Registration closes on May 15, 2025, registration is on a first come, first serve basis.

If you do not have a partner, you can indicate this during registration in the “Looking for a Partner” section.

A waitlist will be available for each division if spots fill up.

Tournament play will use the Franklin X-40 ball

The tournament surface will be hard court at both facilities

This tournament requires both players (partners) to register independently. The first registrant will hold the spot for a limited time before the other partner must sign-up to complete the registration (5 days).

If a partner does not sign up within these 5 days, or a partner drops out at point before the tournament, the confirmed partner will have 5 days to find a replacement before moving to the waitlist.

We will do our best to schedule games for older divisions on Friday daytime but cannot guarantee this.

Final division days/times will be released on or before June 1st.

We are looking forward to an exciting tournament and hope to see you all there!
