The $5,000 Picklebarn Year-End Championships 2025 is finally HERE! This tournament is a culmination of the other 3 Grand Slams played earlier in the year! Players that WON first place in their division in any other Grand Slam receive free entry into the Year-End Championships! $5,000 worth of PRIZE MONEY given out to the winners of EACH DIVISION! Prizes/gift cards given out to 2nd and 3rd place finishers! MINIMUM OF 4 MATCHES per team/individual. We are also excited to announce our 50+ division as well as our COLLEGIATE division!
For players picking which division to play in. We are going to use a "Weighted DUPR" method. We will be taking 70% of the higher rated player's rating, and combining it with 30% of the lower rated players rating. This will give us the rating of that team, If a team exceeds the divisional rating cap by .09, players from that team will be moved up into a different division. This system will ensure competitive play across all levels. If a player does not have a DUPR rating, or a very low "confidence" rating, they will be placed at the tournament directors discretion.
**If you won your division in any of the other 3 Grand Slams, you can sign up for that specific division again, regardless of current rating** You can also choose to move up a division if you would like. If you are not signed up with the same partner, the regular DUPR rules would apply to your team.
All divisions will be pool play into bracket play. We will do our best to get teams a MINIMUM OF 4 MATCHES! Most teams will get at least 5 matches in! We will be using the Selkirk Pro S1 pickleball for this event.
In the interest of maintaining the tournament schedule, the tournament director reserves the right to adjust scoring rules as needed. Adjustments will be consistent across ALL teams within the division.
