6th Annual Oktoberfest Pickleball & Pints
Dates: October 23rd – 25th, 2026
Location: Bristol Sportsplex | Bristol, TN
Oktoberfest is one of our flagship events of the year, built around what players actually want: maximum court time, zero-hassle scheduling, and elite playing conditions.
Here is our signature setup: Pay one single registration fee and play as many standard events as you want. Want to play Singles, Gender Doubles, and Mixed? One flat price covers all of it.
Official Tournament Sponsor: Monovisc®
We are thrilled to partner with Monovisc® (high molecular weight hyaluronic acid injection) for this year's Oktoberfest event! A clinical representative from Monovisc will be on-site throughout the weekend to provide information, answer questions, and educate players on how this single-injection treatment helps active adults relieve joint discomfort, stay mobile, and keep competing on the courts.

The Bristol Sportsplex Advantage
We’ve hosted the PPA Pro Tour for a reason—this facility is built specifically for high-level tournament play.
27 Dedicated Permanent Courts: Pristine surfaces, permanent nets, and fast-moving bracket rotations.
100% Weatherproof (Rain or Shine): While scheduled as an outdoor tournament, our extensive indoor courts mean zero rain delays, zero cancellations, and zero headaches. If weather hits, play shifts inside immediately.
Maximum Court Time: We list a 3-game minimum, but historically, our bracket structures give players significantly more match play than standard events.
Further Physio PT onsite during tournaments for injury/pre/post play stretching/massage.
Patio Bar & Grill On-Site: Specialty Oktoberfest-themed food and drink specials running all weekend. Refuel with hot meals and protein shakes right on site. (Note: Outside food and drink are not permitted).
Spectator Deck: A massive outdoor patio elevated right over the action so you can grab a cold Oktoberfest drink, eat, and cheer on your friends.
Free On-Site Parking: Ample parking steps from the front doors.
