This Pickleball Power Play Senior National Championships Event features round robin pool play followed by bracket play. Every division follows our signature full-match format, and the structure below explains exactly how your division will run.
IMPORTANT: The standard format applies to all divisions, including 60+ divisions with fewer than 8 teams. When a 60+ division reaches 8 or more teams, it will be split into two pools. Please review the appropriate format below.
Understanding Game Guarantees: Game guarantees refer to individual games, not matches. A best-of-three match requires at least 2 games and may last 3 games. Maximum game totals assume a team advances to a medal match and plays 3 games in every match.
For all applicable divisions below 60+, and for 60+ divisions with fewer than 8 teams.
These divisions follow the traditional Pickleball Power Play format, featuring full round-robin play against every team in the division, followed by semifinals and medal matches.
All matches are played best 2 out of 3 games to 11, win by 2.
In 7 and 8 team divisions, each team will play every other team in their division one time in full matches (best 2 out of 3 games to 11, win by 2).
After round robin play is complete, the top 4 seeded teams will advance to the semifinals.
The winners of the semifinals will advance to the Gold Medal Match, and the losing teams will compete in the Bronze Medal Match. Selected Gold Medal Matches may be scheduled for a Saturday or Sunday live broadcast; see Additional Information.
In 5 and 6 team divisions, each team will first compete in a full round robin where every team plays each other.
After round robin play is complete, the top 4 seeded teams will advance to the semifinals.
The winners of the semifinals will advance to the Gold Medal Match, and the losing teams will compete in the Bronze Medal Match. Selected Gold Medal Matches may be scheduled for a Saturday or Sunday live broadcast; see Additional Information.
In 4 team divisions, players will compete in a single round robin, meaning each team will play the other 3 teams once.
After the single round robin is complete, all 4 teams will be seeded 1 through 4 and advance to the semifinals.
The winners of the semifinals will advance to the Gold Medal Match, and the losing teams will compete in the Bronze Medal Match. Selected Gold Medal Matches may be scheduled for a Saturday or Sunday live broadcast; see Additional Information.
All 60+ divisions follow the same standard Power Play tournament format and game guarantees listed above when there are fewer than 8 teams. This includes full round-robin play, semifinals, and medal matches.
IMPORTANT: If a 60+ division reaches 8 or more teams, the division will be split into two round-robin pools rather than having every team play every other team in one large pool.
For 60+ divisions with 4, 5, 6, or 7 teams, simply refer to the Standard Tournament Format above.
The following is the schedule of Gold Medal Matches selected for our Saturday and Power Play Sunday live broadcasts.
IMPORTANT: If your division appears on this schedule, your division's Gold Medal Match will be played on the listed broadcast day. Players who advance to that match must be available to return and compete at the scheduled time.
Not all divisions will be broadcast. If you have questions about the schedule, please contact the Tournament Director or Pickleball Power Play.
