Announcing Legends' FIRST tournament of 2025!
Legends 2nd Annual DMV Classic
==================================================================
Date:
April 11-13
Location:
Dill Dinkers - Bethesda
9 Indoor Courts
DUPR Rating will be used to create brackets.
PickleballBrackets.com has converted to using DUPR ratings rather than UTPR. DUPR is generally a little higher than UTPR, so you may want to consider playing in the next higher division (for example, the 4.0 bracket will now force high 3.5 UTPR players into the 4.0 bracket IF THEIR DUPR is 4.0 or above).
You must LINK your DUPR to PickleballBrackets.com if you want any of your tournament results to go into DUPR:

----------------------------------
Tourney entry fee varies based on when registration is entered, and ranges from $45-$65 per participant (includes $10 referee fee and $5 facility fee), and $20 per standard event. EarlyBird is just $45 with payment BEFORE Feb 28. Registration cost progress higher the closer we get to the tourney - REGISTER EARLY!
Approximate division/event category start times will be announced at least 1-2 days in advance
Player sign-in begins 30 minutes before tournament play each day
Open events (recommended for 4.5+ DUPR players) are available for a cost of $70 (prize money awarded for medal winners!).
We decided not have this tourney be USA Pickleball sanctioned. This means you do not have to have an active USA Pickleball membership (which went way up in cost).
Do not leave the event without checking to see if you are in or out of the tournament! This is particularly a problem in POOL PLAY. IF YOU LEAVE WITHOUT CHECKING, and you are subsequently ADDED to the bracket, we WILL NOT wait for you to return, but forfeit your match!!! Thank you for understanding.
PickleballBrackets.com has modified their pricing, and is now charging a mandatory, non-refundable SERVICE FEE to participants - $5 for 1 event, $10 for 2 or more events. This fee cannot be refunded under any circumstances.
Team participants must register individually and list team partner in registration
After registration closes, free agents will be matched with similar-skilled players (as available)
Skill level bracket for teams is determined by the DUPR skill level of the higher rated partner
Tournament Director reserves the right to adjust the age and/or skill brackets based on registration
Events may be either Double Elimination or Pool Play depending on what fits best - depending on # of teams/players for the specific division. The goal is to provide teams as much play - and most fun - as possible for players.
Detailed tournament schedule and format details will be on website NLT Wednesday before tournament
Medals for Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners
Champions in each division also get:
- Legends Gold Pin (and entry into the 2024 Legends Gold Medal Challenge!)
- Pics and Bragging Rights on the Legends website!
