We will be using only the Pickleball Brackets software for this event.
Players are expected to report to the player check-in tent prior to their event start time. Emails will be sent out with start times within the week before their registered event.
A court monitor, match starter, and/or referee will be assigned to each pool. Any on-court disputes that cannot be solved by the players should be resolved by the assigned court monitor. Referees will be assigned to all medal matches as well as any other matches if available.
Event Format:
Every division will be played in two parts: Pool play, followed by a single elimination bracket. Every team will qualify for bracket play and be seeded according to pool play results.
Brackets may be divided into age-specific brackets if necessary.
Pool play results will be weighted as follows: game differential , point differential , coin toss.
Players will receive text updates for upcoming matches, but we recommend staying near your court pod for the duration of your bracket to avoid any unnecessary forfeitures.
Players will be given 10 minutes warm-up on their first assigned court for the day and two minutes warm-up for subsequent matches. Scores will be recorded by the players after each game via their phones and pickleballbrackets. The results will be input by the tournament desk and shared online throughout the event.
